"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.

"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.

Sorry bro but this is a bad poll. First of all you shouldn't make the names public. For the record I can't bench 450+ but I'm not going to seem like a wuss for picking anything lower :D I'm not going to say what else is wrong instead I think you should remake the poll using these options.

0-49
50-99
100-149
150-199
200-249
250-299
300-349
350-399
400-449
450-500

BTW I'm taking Stats now and I couldn't resist making the chart :p

These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.

Maxtro, why would you seem a wuss for putting anything lower than 450? That is crazy talk. And yeh handyandy, you missed 200-250 which I am sure a lot of people will fall in to.

And EFFORT, niceeeeee.

My best bench so far is a poultry 192.5lbs. Not tested in two months though so hopefully I'm over the 200 by now. Shall see in 4 weeks or so.

I'd like to see some video's people :) Many are guilty of not using a full range of motion...

I'd also much rather this was a deadlift poll :)

I hit a 90kg (which is 198 lbs) off of a 2-board (which is about 3").
That's my best so far.
 

"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.

Let me guess, you used to do bench only and you squat to parallel?

Either that or your just proportioned that way. Btw if you squat to parallel, don't. Just incase you do...going all the way down is where it is at.

I haven't done the regular bench just yet (done inclines and declines) but I'm guessing I'm in the 100-150 range. I'll find out the 20th when I max test.

Hmm.. is squatting to parallel wrong? (so far I've been going to parallel or slightly below)
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

oh em gee.
i can bench what 72kg? (at least i think the bar was 20kg - that's what someone told me) and 14-15 year olds are benching 160lb+ , damn i'm behind.
my squat and deadlifts are also appalling, lol no wonder my gains were small.

255.. Age:15.. you guys are weak.. average freshmans bench 190 +.. oh cmon adults!!... thats all you weak ****s got?LAME..
:crackup: really????.....now tell me something. Do you bring the bar to your chest and don't bounce the bar? Can you do it without a spotter upright rowing 50% of it?? How much do you weigh? how long have you trained? What do you eat? I BET your so full of crap. Stop posting, we don't need little kids around here with no knowledge dogging people who work hard. I hope your mom gives you a spanking. :box: :box: :box: :box:

BTW I've always done incline. My max on that for 1 rep is about 200 lbs. I don't know what that translates into for regular bench but must be pretty good.

EFFORT........HOLY FREAKIN CRAP MAN. ughhhh haha :up:

Although my numbers arnt that high (200), my max had to be checked by my coach, so no BS.

Also FiNs2BeCaUgHt: Idk where you got that 190+ stuff from. Theres a chart at my schools weight room. Its based on Light, Medium, and Heavy Weight people. That 190 pounds your talking about is for 230+ pound freshmen. People over 6'1 should reduce lift requirements by 25% I think, maybe less.
 

"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.
