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

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
what do you bench?

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.

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).

"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.

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