Ok, I don't wana know how much you do on the flat bench. But, How much do you incline?
"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.
Are YOU strong???

"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.
misunderstood??

for how many reps?

What angle incline? 30 degree or 45 degree? What's the difference between this tread and the "max bench" tread?

what does a Quad weigh and does pushing it off of yourself count? I've never done incline lifts.
"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.

Too answer your questions Dee-Zy:
Barbell, 30* angle, and I max out at about 225 LBS.

225 is a pretty serious incline press
"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.
not really, don't mean to brag or anything but i'm 80 kg and my deadlift is around the 150 kg area the last time i checked (4 months ago) it should be more but anyway, that's not the point. even with that deadlift i dont consider myself as strong, i'm not weak, no not at all, that's pretty good at 16 years old but im not as strong as i would like to be.
i think its a combination of flat bench, squat and deadlift. just like powerlifting. AND adding olympic movements in there, the person who moves the most weights there is the stronger man.
Oh, absolutely. Deadlift is by no means the be-all end-all of measuring someone's strength, but it's certainly a better measure than incline. Squats are a better measure as well.
I was simply pointing out that having a high incline press doesn't necessarily mean you're strong. I've got vain friends that go to the gym and just work their chest, bis, and abs... and you know what? They can probably bench more than I can, but I'll still throw them around like rag dolls if it ever comes to it.
I wasn't saying "deadlifts = strength." I was saying that "deadlifts = strength" is a less erroneous statement than "incline = strength."
