"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.

ok so i thought of a new routine and i tailored it according to my body's crappy genetics and injuries.
background info:
1.injury at L4,L5,S1 vertebra, herniation + nerve injury

2.i also have mood swings (happy > depressed > happy > depressed, you get the picture :rock: )

3. deadlift max 1rep is at 100-110kgs(220-230ish), squat max 1 rep is 100kgs(220lbs) , bench is 100kgs (220lbs)

4.im not going to increase the weight on squats or deadlifts till i can get a powerlifting coach to optimize my form.till that happens i have to increase the reps and intensity instead.BUT i will keep on increasing the weight on other exercises like the bench press :)

its a 4 day split with focus on my genetically weaker body parts (arms,upper body, stamina)

4 day split :

MONDAY

deads 5X2 50kgs ,3X2 80kgs , 1X1 100kgs
lat downs 8X3
shrugs drop sets
biceps curls drop sets
forearms drop sets
reverse curls drop sets
chins 5 sets

WEDNSDAY

bench press 8X4(light weight, 50% 1RM) , 5X2 (70-80% 1RM)
Dips 8X3
kick backs drop sets
triceps pull overs drop sets
chins 5 sets
core
cardio 15 mins

FRIDAY

squats 5X3 80kgs , 1x1 100kgs , 5x3 70kgs 8X2 50kgs
shrugs drop sets
biceps curls drop sets
forarms drop sets
reverse curls drop sets
chins 5 sets

SUNDAYS

Incline bench 8X4 , 6X4
dips 8X3
triceps pullovers drop sets
kick backs drop sets
chins
core
squats 50% 5X5

all workouts are under 40 mins , with a rest period of 2 mins for compound exercises and a rest period of 15 secs for drop sets.

GOALS: hypertrophy while maintaining my current strength levels.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I'd switch kickbacks out for skullcrushers as in my experience they've been more effective, and you might want some OH press in there somewhere

looks good to me - but youll have to try it out for a couple of months to see how it really works for you.
