"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.

Guys,

This is the first time I'm trying this poll feature. Let's see what's the strength of people here in this forum.

I'm going to use bench press and squat (sorry Sosh, no deadlift) for general indication. Have fun.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Sorry guys, I may have overestimated the strength. The problem is that I can't change the polls. DOH!

I was a little curious after reading football conditioning programs, which combine strength and speed measurements. It is not uncommon to see a running back (at 170 lbs) bench around 250 lbs (which is around 1.5 bodyweight).

But these are athlete, so I was a biased. D*mn.
 

"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.

Yeah... it's a little spread out in terms of strength.... 170lbs here and I bench around 235 or so, and can squat up to about 260

Whe you guys say I can bench XXX amount....is that one time or a set of 6-8??

Also, if it's just once, do you try to lift a much as you can one time in your regular workout???

Doing a one rep max can be dangerous. I highly discourage it.

For my answer I posted the max weight that I handle in a working set.

It may be less than a one rep max, but I'm not too worried about it. Hell I messed up my shoulder at a weight I benched 7 times anyways. There is no way in hell I'm messing with one rep maxes anytime soon

"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.

I weigh 190 and can bench about 230. But the last time I tried I could squat over 600. My legs are freaking tree trucks from 15 years of hockey and Ranching.

I can't bench for ****, (series of 8-10 with like 90lbs last time I did 'em) and I don't squat 'cause I've had lower back problems ever since I was a kid, and my back always hurts when I try to. Anyway, my 1RM is probably somewhere around 900lbs give or take a plate on the leg press. (according to the bodybuilding.com 1 rep max calculator, I do series of 8-10 reps with 600-700lbs) I got HUGE calves (18inches) and thighs (27 1/2inches). If I didn't have back and knee pains when I squatted, I'd do that exercise and get even bigger legs, but heh, that's life. Anybody else have those problems too?

So basically the only thing I really gotta work harder on is my upper body. I actually think the benching is just 'cause of stabilisers, but that's not the point of my post anyway.

I Grew up on a Ranch. When you have to lift cows and **** you get tough legs. I also played hockey for 14 years.

Is 600 good? I dont know if I still can, but the last time I tried that was what I did.

How many reps are you talking about? If I want to do 3 of 8-10 I have to drop it to like 350.
