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

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
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.

"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.

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

"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.

yea i could but then my lower back would be in a lot of pain to squeeze out 1 rep...not that it matters

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 just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
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
