"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.

I have been doing a 4 day split for this past 2 months and made good gains but think I might switch it up a little. Here is what I am thinking of doing, any feedback would be appreciated ;)

Week 1:

Monday: Flat Bench x 3, Pullups x 3, Incline Curls x 3 (A)

Wed: Deadlifts x 3, Dumbell Presses x 3, Lat and Front raises x 2, Skulls x 3 (B)

Fri: Decline x 3, Chinups x 3 (C)

Week 2:

Monday: workout B
Wed: A
Friday:B

I know you will say there is a lack of leg work but I have been medically advised not to do heavy squats from my physio as I have two very bad knees that have been injured through sports. Instead I do physio on my legs such as single legged squats which helps them stay defined.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

when you say 5/3/1 you mean thats the rep scheme to use for each respective set??

Diet is different every day because i live at home and out of my home fridge but I get between 250-300 g protein per day and cut carbs off after 7 or 8
 

"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.

In terms of putting on the mass it'll be a function of your diet and how accurate you can be with it. Treat your diet like a separate routine for each training cycle. Have exact macros counted out and planned ahead of time for your goal (just like you would for sets/ reps/weights with your lifting routine)... Have a predetermined time limit for the particular diet. Have a way of evaluating progress. Most guys just throw together some diet with no idea of what its supposed to accomplish. Its very undefined, lots of estimations (that are WAY OFF) and they can't even tell if its working. It would be similar to someone deciding they want to lift weights and just going in a gym and doing random lifts with no strategically planned program or method.

I'd recommend everyone follow a carb cycling approach, its easy to track and make adjustments to, check it out
