That was about 7-8months ago, roday since i havent been working out for about a year i could probably do 225. and i weight about 170lbs. so just wondering how big you guys are on the bench vecause i think that is what determines ur real strength
"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.
what do you bench?

"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.

The only thing being able to bench alot proves is that you are good at benching.
I see guys all the time who always focus on benchpress. They can put up some weight but what happens when you ask them to do a pull-up or a squat?
Do not use bp as an indicator of stength.
FYI at my peak (last summer) I would do 4 sets of 8-12 reps at 205-225 pounds. Now I push 165-195 (195 on a good day, 165ish mostly).

Bench is around 220lbs. My stats 5'7.5"-5'8", 210 lbs 10% bf.
Any particular reason why it's so low for your size?[S]alvatore said:Bench is around 220lbs. My stats 5'7.5"-5'8", 210 lbs 10% bf.

My training is leaning towards hypertrophy rather than strength at the moment. The rep scheme is 4x12, rather than 5x5/4x6.

"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.
