"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I would like to include some new lifts into my routine, the snatch, etc and im curious about how they effect recovery... whats the potential for overtraining? The wholebody nature of it is confusing... not 100% sure how to fit it in and how often...
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

People usually don't get sore from olympic lifts in my experiences because they involve the entire body. They will definately affect your other workouts, though. When I first tried them out I wasn't sore but noticed a definate strength loss in my shoulder routine the next day. Regardless, great exercises to include in virtually any regimen.

If you are using the "work each bodypart once a week" mantra then yeah, it'll probably be confusing, but once you start getting olympic lifts involved then you better toss that out of the window. Olympic lifts are great strength and size builders. They're hard to overtrain on, just make sure not to keep going once you lose your good form.

I wouldn't recommend o-lifts without proper instruction, you can EASILY hurt yourself if you don't know what you're doing.

I would second that. Very complex moves.
 

"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.

Olympic lifts are best for athletes. Power clean, Clean and jerk, and snatch, they all work your explosiveness, and lots of body parts. I have been doing olympic lifts for about a year now, and I can tell you I'm faster and more explosive thanx to them. I have perfect form for all of them, but our football coach (who's also our strength training coach) is in the weight room all the time, and he really helps people get the right form.

Hell, I basically only do Olympic lifts. The only things I do which aren't olympic lifts, is bench press, bicep curls, and back squats.
But, make sure you have good form before you try to put on serious weight, or else you will have crap form, and it'll be hard to get back to good form.

Ive been experimenting with just the bar and started with small weights. I seem to have the movements down pat and nothings getting pulled, cracked, weird sounds or weird soreness, at first some wobbling balance/control wise at the top but i put that down to inexperience.. I will see what i can do about getting some proper instruction though.
