"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.

Over training?

Would BW pistols 3x a week + tabata 3x a week = over training, my recovery isn't too great.
 

"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.

Well i havent worked out in like 5 weeks due to being in a cast.

Recovery took longer than expected so cast was only recently removed.

I haven't squatted using a barbell for quite a while due to not having a power rack so coudln't clean the weight upto my chest.

I've been doing body weight box pistols for a few weeks instead, lowering the height by an inch or so each workout if all sets and reps are completed, 5x5.

My endurance is terrible, i got 6.9 in the bleep test i think.

I would be working out Wed, Fri, Sun with weights and doing tabata Thurs, Sat and Mon so one day of not doing anything.

I will be starting ripptoe but doing box pistols instead of squats and incline DB bench pressing instead of regular bench.

Its very hard to over train if you condition yourself for it. Look at professional athletes. Your right about the recovery time, you need to manage your time better if this is a problem.

I noticed that my endurance and work capacity increased significantly when I started doing light circuit training/barbell complexes daily in conjunction with my powerlifting/strongman training. Depending on your goals, I would incorporate some form of cardio to your training, if you haven't done so already. Good luck with your goals.
