"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

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.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

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
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

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
