He works out like 6/7 days a week. He alternates upper body and lower body and then does cardio after each workout. Me and him have been arguing about who will gain the most muscle the quickest. I say its me because i workout on a 3 day split: chest/tri, back/bi, legs, shoulders. He overwhelming thinks its him because he thinks i don't do enough. I did my reasearch though online and it looks as though he is wrong and I am right. help.
"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Is my friend an idiot?

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
I only work out 2 or 3 days a week. I have gone from 165 at the beginning of summer to about 180 now. I haven't taken my body fat percentage, but just judging from looks, I'd say it's about the same. I don't know if tha'ts good or bad but I guess you could say I've been putting on about 5lbs of muscle a month. Not looking to be a body builder or anything, just want to be in good shape and have good form. People have been noticing and I can feel my tshirts getting more snug.
Oh and I'm using one of the workouts suggestion in the sticky in this forum although I usually add one more set to each excercise than they recommend. Working out 7 days a week is ridiculous. People like that don't realize that getting bulk comes from the the repair, not from the workout itself. Once you've broken the muscle down to a certain point, it's not necessary to push it any further. Now it's time to get some protein and relax it for a few days and let it repair. Your friend seems to be way overdoing it.

I know, and I all i want to was help him but he wanted no part in what i was trying to tell him.speakeasy said:I only work out 2 or 3 days a week.

Another thing. I do get a lot of cardio, but the cardio I get just comes from my lifestyle. My hobby is mtn biking and I also use my bike to run daily errands if it's within a couple miles distance just because I enjoy cycling. I also do martial arts 2 or 3 days a week which is very cardio intensive. I try to take the stairs in my apartment rather than the elevator. So rather than do gym cardio like a stair stepper or something, I'd rather just have it be part of my daily routine.
"You can lead a horse to water but you cant make him drink" really applies to these kinds of situations. People who are sure they are doing things right are very hard to convince with words to change. Imagine if someone said to you that training 7 times a week is better and you felt this was wrong because you have read on the internet that the right way to train is 3-4 times a week.
Maybe he feels the same, all the people who have given him tips have told him to workout 7 times a week. Then you come into this and tells him that he's wrong. Just let him be. Workout good and get big. Then when he realizes he isn't getting any bigger he might come to you for help.
Give him a few good links about training and maybe he can decide himself that he want to change his workout based on this.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
