"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
bench 225 in four months of traning is it ok??

"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.

"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.
Accroding to my jornal here ..i started with 85 lbs now i can do 225..i guess i can go uptp 250...will hit that in coming weekDice52987 said:Where did you start?
for 180 lbs i can do 10 reps without any help, but when it comes to 225..i suck badly..i can just do 3 reps...jocca said:Should try upping the sets and reps on a lower weight first however and then gradually progressing to the heavier weights

How do you go from 85 to 225 ?? I think you may be confusing bench press with some kind of ISO Lateral chest press machine or something...i dont believe you made that big of a jump in such a short amount of time. Before you were completely clueless and a complete rookie now your benching 225 ??
How low are you lowering the bar ??

...this is why the internet is the best place for information...search1ng said:NOT OKAY. You should be doing over 400lbs each for the big 3. Squat, bench and deadlift.
Any lower just means you're slacking off!
Form means more then anything else. Not a random number of how much your supposed to lift.
Doesn't that go hand in hand? If your form sucks your numbers may be much lower than what you'd ideally be able to get, so a newbie can progress on both form and strength. Or?Drum&Bass said:Before you were completely clueless and a complete rookie now your benching 225 ??
anyone taking this seriously, I was joking.search1ng said:NOT OKAY. You should be doing over 400lbs each for the big 3. Squat, bench and deadlift.

OP, good job they're good numbers, and like Blink said, form > everything. Except women.
"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.
i,m not deadlifting...my trainer has said after six months(2 months remaining) i will be allowed to do that exercise...Kerpal said:The important question is, what are you squatting (to full depth) and deadlifting?
but i,m able to do rows with 100 lbs dumbell
and Tbar with 160 lbs with max of 3 reps
about squatting i,m not squatting heavy weights to full depth...i have a fear..that i will collapse ..but with lower weights i do full depth.
i,m not rookie ..i had gone to gym before this.. once for 3 months but then i had a gap of 1 yr in between...you can find my 2 journals here ..but then i used to do more cardio than weights..that time they did nt allow me to do bench press..Drum&Bass said:your bench isn't to high for anything.

if 85 to 225 is big jump...then yes i have jumped that much..i changed my technique..and i was able to achieve that much...i think i can go up to 280 in coming weeks.
i know what is bench press ..the only thing is i,m holding it on wider side than this video.
and i dont touch my chest with the bar..just above the chest then up again...
i think i,m at good form..yes..i have increased some strength .. when i started i was able to do 10 hindu push ups..now i can do upto 27 ...RMM said:so a newbie can progress on both form and strength
