Um yeah mate you do have to lift big to get big...within reason of course
"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.

"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.

What I meant is I used to always try to do as much weight as I could even if that meant I only could only get two or three reps. I would also try to lift for like 2 hours a day 5 days a week. Both of those will do nothing but overwork your muscles and they wont grow.DanZy said:

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Ive gained like 5 pounds or so since I started but im not sure how much of it is fat or muscle cause I started eating like a plow. Im starting to get in the higher weights now so I should start seeing more progress.

Your well on your way dude 
“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Squat - 195
Bench - 125 (accidentally did 115)
Rows - 105
I forget to put the extra fives on the end of the bar when I was benching so i accidentally did 115 instead of 125. I do 125 my next bench day.

Pull ups - 3 x max
Gonna start adding pull ups to my workout because when football gets done in a couple weeks im gonna start working out with my recruiter for the Marines. I can do 12 when I do palms facing in but i could only do like 5 or 6 wide grip and palms facing out. My upper body is probably my weakest spot. I also started using a mixed grip on deads instead of regular.

I've come down with a pretty bad cold these last couple of days so I'm gonna get some rest instead of working out. Hopefully will get back in it on Friday.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Felt good to get back in there after being sick last week. Squats were a b*tch because i went right after school and my legs were still sore from my swimming class where we did a lot of kicking exercises.

Took two weeks off to help my body get used to the workouts I do with my recruiter for the Marines. Maxed out last night and i got 185x2 on bench and 225x8 on squat. Felt good knowing my weights have been going up. Im gonna start up again tommorow except im gonna do 3x5 on squat as the program recommends. Ill still do 5x5 on everything else and ill lower the weights and work back up.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
