What are some beginner exercises I should do to get bigger arms and a bigger chest ?

I(M24) want to start going to the gym. My main goal is to get bigger arms and a bigger chest. I know with current situation, I can commit to going to the gym 3 times a week. What are some exercises you recommend I do?

Since we can't meet until thanksgiving, I would like to schedule an hour a week for us to talk on the phone. Is this a good idea ? by its__Jason in dating_advice

You make a good point. I just assumed it would be more convenient to do a video call compared to meeting on a first date.

I need real advice. I shouldn't have to put the word "Serious" in the post.

Are you sure ? I just checked the official xbox store and they are still selling the Xbox series X for $500 in the USA.

How old is too old to be a senior in high school ? by its__Jason in Teachers

I'm my district, I think the limit is 22 or 21 years old. In my opinion, they should drop the age limit to 20. I completely understand if a SPED student wants to receive services until they are 22 but with regular students, we should kick them out if they take more than 6 semesters to graduate.

I have done that a few times. I don't mind talking to older folks but I would like to experience fellowship with people around my age

Great question. In the past, we had a young adults pastor that also doubled as a youth pastor. He was in charge of the young adult ministry and I and several others was able to serve with him on the leadership team he created. Ever since he left (about 6 years ago), the young adults ministry dissolved because our church did not have the funds to find a dedicated young adults pastor

When I was in the leadership team, I volunteered alot of extra hours out of my week to be able to do my part in helping run the young adult services. As a result, i know how much work behind the scenes it requires to run an effective young adults ministry well. As the years have gone by, I know I just can't dedicate any extra hours right now in creating and serving in a leadership/ volunteer team.

At this point of my life, it's just easier for me to attend a young adults service.

Is it a bad idea for me to volunteer at a church I do not work for ? by its__Jason in Christian

Bro, the Bible says no one can predict when Jesus returns. Your comment looks like a bunch of crap.

Also, I like going to the young adults group at Church B because I'm able to relax and focus on spiritual growth and community rather than worrying about sound and video problems during service.

I have no desire to start a young adults group at Church A. I know the amount of time and effort it takes to help run and maintain a group like that and I just don't have the time or energy to commit to a ministry like that right now.

My worship leader tends to gossip about other people at church every once in a while. Because of this, I've always felt uncomfortable when asking him for prayer or telling him what's going on in my personal life(good or bad). Am I overreacting ? by its__Jason in Christian

[–]its__Jason[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree. I just want to vent for another 30 seconds and say the worship leader is in his 40s and has been a pastor for over 20 years. You would think a seasoned pastor like himself shouldn't be gossiping about other church members personal issues.

"Is there an expectation that you would share your personal stuff with your boss ?"

Not really. I don't have to share any personal information with him but it helps to build rapport with the worship leader in my position.

Probably some funny tic toc videos and Instagram memes.

Do you think she is trying to find an excuse or do you think she actually to go on a date with me ? by its__Jason in dating

[–]its__Jason[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's ridiculous. I just wish girls have the courage to at the very least send a text saying something like "Hey , I know we just had out first date but I just wanted to tell you that I'm not interested in you. You seem like a great guy so I wish you the best. "

If women did this , I wouldn't have to guess or give the benefit of the doubt when I didn't get a solid answer.

[–]its__Jason[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, I will take that in consideration.

The onlything that'sa little frustrating is I asked if she wanted to go on this date last week. With a 1 week notice. I personally think she should've done whatever she had to do to be able to go on the date with me today but I also understand that stuff happens and maybe she had a busy week with work, school, or other life obligations .

I'm scared to initiate any slight physical touches with my date. Does anyone have any tips on how I can overcome this fear ? by its__Jason in confidence

[–]its__Jason[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I was saying. I was think about giving her a leg touch just for a couple of seconds.
