"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.
Will working out 2 days in a row hurt?

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

If you're pressed for time, re-arrange your workout so that legs and back aren't on consecutive days.

Work back and legs on the same day. Leg workouts work your back too, so doing squats one day, deadlifts the next is not the best idea.
...that said, my guess is that 99% of people here have arms, legs, and hands, and are thusly close enough in composition to warrant sticking to a few basic rules of thumb
.From personal experience, as Alex said, I would not work two major groups on consecutuve days... currently I do back then legs, and it aint ideal by any stretch.
But i'm changing the split in a few weeks
. Legs and back will both be at opposite ends of the week, with chest/tri in the middle.I would also not work back and legs on the same day, with squats and deads being the prime exercises, you just can't get the best outta both of them if theyre destroying you on the same day.
Personally I favour chest/tri/shoulder, back/bi, and legs. Or throw shoulders on leg day.
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

And doing them the same day is?
If you are going to work your two largest muscle groups on the same day, prepare for some heavy DOMS (delayed onset muscular soreness) not to mention the amount of calories this will consume. So make sure you load up an hour or 2 before you hit the gym. Then pile on the protein afterwords.

A better idea.
Depends on how used to the lift you are, although it would do a number on your back. Agreed on the calories. I don't even bother with deadlifts anymore personally. Olympic lifts give a good enough workout to the same muscles, enough that I maxed out at 308 lbs on my first day ever deadlifting.

Unless you're pushing candy-ass weights, I disagree. With heavy poundages your form doing squats AND deadlifts will suffer and increase the likelihood of injury and decrease the efficiency of the workout.
If you can do it then fair play to you. I personablly can't.
