"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.

My bench to squat ratio is way too close. I was just curious....what is your max (flat) bench press compared to your max squat....or what do you work out with on bench press compared to squats
 

“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.

1rep maxes are 225 vs 315 at approx 155lbs. For my first year or so of training I focused more so on my upper body and didn't squat at all though. So for a while they were pretty close to equal, especially when repping. Squats an exercise where you can make a lot of gains in relatively short period of time.

weight = 185
1RM bench = 255
1RM squat(going slightly below parallel, not ass to grass) = 360

I had knee surgery about 11 months ago, so my squat is a bit lower than what it would otherwise be.

Mine are just about equal, actually I think I can bench more, I maxed out at 300 on bench yesterday, and I'm working out with 215 for 3 sets of 6, but the bad thing is I'm working on squats with 215 for 3 sets of 6. At that the only reason I'm doing 215 is I would feel like an idiot not doing as much on squats as I do on Bench. I'm going to correct that though...:)
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I would say if you can do a dbl BW squat and 1.5 bench 1RM you are doing ok. Many will be able to do more but this is a significant yet wholly attainable goal for most average guys.
