"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
is 2 workouts enough?
- Thread starter hot stuff
- Start date
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Plus, squats and deads are just "leg exercises".

2x a week is a lot better than nothing. Not optimal at 3.5, but still good.
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
if dead lifts are so important i will properly incorporate them into my routine from now on!! should i do them on the same day as my back and triceps, or my chest and biceps??
In my opinion anyway, haha.

You also might want to think about your shoulders workout. During your presses you're working out the tris also. This means that you're going ot have THREE days in which your tris are stressed. For this reason alone I workout my tris with my shoulders 3 days after my chest workout, the day before my leg workout.
My workout is a 4 day split:
Mon: Legs and Abs
Wed: Chest and Abs
Fri: Back and Bis and if I'm up for it some more abs
Sat or Sun: Shoulders and Tris
I usually throw 3 sets of underhand EZ curl bar curls in on monday just to remind my biceps I havent forgotten about them.
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
a) they are both full body compound lifts
b) they together work nearly all the muscles in your body
c) stimulating that much muscle (85% sounds a bit high but not outrageously so) releases naturally anabolic compounds that boost the rest of your body's development
You can be successful with a 2, 3 or 4-day split, depending on your experience and genetics. I've always gotten the best results from 3-day splits, so that's what I tend to recommend.
