"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Hello everybody,

Hope all of you have a great day because i sure do.

Here's my situation:

I am going to school 5 days a week but i want to fitness and do martial arts. Because i just think its awesome to do. This is going to be my roster:
Monday: Jujitsu, Tuesday: Free, Wednesday: Kickboxxing, Thursday: Sparring (kickboxing) Friday: Free, Saturday: Free, Sunday: Free.

Is it possible to make a healthy lifestyle out of this so i can work on my body at the same time while i'm taking martial arts?
 

"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.

Of course.
Martial arts is good conditioning/cardio. As long as your eating enough to fuel your body you should be fine.

I would make a 3 day split Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday since your free tuesday and saturday.
Thursday you'll just have to work harder because you'll be doing martial arts and wiehglifting. But you got friday free to rest anyways :)

You could start off on a three day split, but a two day might be a better idea for recovery reasons. You don't want to over tax your system. If you decide to do a three day and find it difficult to make gains, then switching to a two day would be best.

I also wouldn't do any other cardio, martial arts are quite intensive as it is. You will also have to fuel yourself accordingly as Triple T said.

What is it you hope to achieve by working out, what are your goals as far as strength and muscle mass are concerned? Keep in mind that it will be more difficult to make progress if you are training martial arts three time a week.
