225 BW, my best bench is 190 lbs. Crappy, but I almost never work on benching.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
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.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
What is your weight/bench?

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I weight around 230. I've been doing circut training and cardio for awhile now to lose weight. I just started doing regular workout to build muscle.
I've only been working out normal for 3 weeks now. I can rep 225 9 times. I haven't maxed out yet.
Can't wait to see how much I can do at the end of the summer.

"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.

Bullsheet!
If your squat if legit, you should be able to deadlift alot more than 250 lbs.

my bench really isn't all that impressive, i have trained with several guys around my size who put me to shame. i'm 5'8", 165, and have been powerlifting for about 5 years. i also squat in the mid 400's and clean in the mid 200's (haven't maxed recently so not sure exactly where i am right now). if you want your lifts to go up quit doing curls and flyes and other pointless movements that do nothing but waste your time, forget the garbage you read in muscle and fiction, and train ****ing hard. read a lot and check out some of the Westside Barbell methods, because they work.

Amen to that! Curls aren't even the best bicep workout - I find chins and pullups to be much better, especially chins.

I'm 16, 6-4 and weigh 179.
My best bench press is 265, I repped 185 thirteen times at a scout workout thing. My max squat is about 245, My max dead lift is 380. Clean at about 205. My Incline Max was about 185. I hardly ever do Incline and have been lax on Bench and just any weight workout lately I've been doing alot of camps and stuff.

I'm 146 lbs and my maximum bench is 145 lb. Squat maximum is around 200 lbs.
For some reason, I can't bench over my weight. Need to work harder.

Yea, I weight 170 and my max is 200 but it's only been a couple months, so I'm sure it'll be improving soon. Uhh... is 1RM stand for max, or what? (no flames! ) Remember, I'm still a bit newbish at weight lifting
) Remember, I'm still a bit newbish at weight lifting"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.
