225 BW, my best bench is 190 lbs. Crappy, but I almost never work on benching.
"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.
What is your weight/bench?

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
misunderstood??

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.

"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.

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

I weigh 140lbs and bench 155lbs. Yes I am short.
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
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.

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

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
