"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.

So it's been 4 consecutive months ( & 8 total with some time/a few weeks off in between) of using the Rippetoe workout every week. Ive seen good gains but wish to keep it fresh and read that after 3/4 months its good to add a few more exercises to step up my bulking. So what are your ideas?

I was thinking preacher curls3x5,
maybe decline or incline bench, and weighted leg-lifts? Not sure what else really so Im open to ideas.

Peace.

--------------

Current routine:
a.
Stretch
Squat 3x5
Bench 3x5
Deadlifts 1x5
Dips 2x10
Crunches 2x15
b.
Stretch
Squat 3x5
Mil. Press 3x5
Bent-over rows 3x5
Dips 2x10
Reverse crunch 2x15
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

if you're gaining, don't change a thing.

to keep things 'fresh', change the weight on the bar. :D
