If I was in power for a day I would start by paying the teachers more. Then I would make it so you could teach conservative values in schools again.
If i was in power I would ban everyone else from competing in this competition so that I would win and by I, I mean you
Then I would lower taxes and...Haha Funny. But for real I would lower taxes and use the welfare money to pay off the debt. Then I would institute a program that would help people learn how to be self sufficient.
yeah, make the church self reliance program mandatory
Yeah seriously. I mean I wouldn't take away all welfare stuff, just the stuff that people abuse. Like if you really need assistance you will still be able to get it. But it wont be like a hand out. It will still be that you have to work for it somehow.
I wonder if, since all of the people doing this challenge are BYU students and BYU students are more conservative if alexa is going to adopt conservative values
This is for alexa? I thought this was for a totally new chat bot thing.
yeah that would be a good idea, and I think so, thats what it says on the homepage of the website
But yeah that would make sense. Yeah I guess I need to read that more. Anyway, what classes did you have today?
oh maybe it's not for alexa, I think it's for their own AI called eve, like the girl robot from wall-e all I had was essentials of human nutrition so it's been a pretty easy day I need to go to the gym later today though because I haven't been able to go since monday
Oh yeah. That is funny. Well I hope it works out for them. I'll be interested to see the finished product. The gym is for squares. Chatting is for winners! Go tomorrow!
I really want to start going every day consistently so I can get huge haha nice try, ipads are temporary, but gains are eternal
Yeah but you need recovery periods. Honestly I think 3 times a week is all you need. Gains are no eternal. You will still get old.
nah you only need recovery time from like full body workouts or a lot of cardio and stuff, if you alternate muscle groups you can workout 6 days a week easy plus if you do abs a certain day that's basically a rest day since its a pretty small muscle group
Oh that makes sense.
like thats why I try to do, even on my rest days I plan just a quick ab workout and then cardio
So like how huge do you want to be?
pretty huge
Why
but you can't actually get that big as a natural lifter without being fat so I mostly just want to get stronger and leaner getting bigger is just like a side effect of working on improving lifts and eating healthy to get lean
Yeah that makes sense. I would never want to be so huge that I looked fat. Just strong a lean. My friend Kelley is teaching me how to lift better. We'll see if it pays off.
kelly is one of the people we had dinner with right?
Yeah the Asian one. His brother is Richard and you talked to him
I talked with one of the brothers about bodybuilding and lifting and stuff, I'm really interested in that oh yeah, they're both pretty big guys though, like thats where I want to be in a few years
Yeah. Hold on I'm going to change Ollie's Diaper.
i've been taking progress pictures and stuff and I've actually gotten a lot more lean and put on a decent amount of muscle since the beginning of this year
Yeah I have noticed. That is really cool! I've gone the opposite direction but I'm working on switching that around. My goal is to go 3 times a week with Kelley and work out with weights and on the other days do stretching and cardio. I think I said before that I've only been once this week too. But that will change next week. This week was just crazy with the chatting thing. And tests and homework and stuff. Which gym do you go to? Just the BYU one?
yeah just the smith fieldhouse I kind of want to see if I could get a membership at VASA though because it's nearby and the smith feildhouse one is always so crowded whenever I go where do you go when you go to the gym? and like what stuff do you normally do there?
Vasa is going to be just as crowded if not more crowded. I go to BYU Vasa and Planet Fitness. I haven't signed up for anything yet, so I just use the free day passes haha But I need to sign up for Vasa because that's where Kelley goes and he is teaching me. But I normally Bench, Deadlift, Front Squat, Back squat, sholders and back. Cardio. Just normal stuff like that.
dang, maybe I just need to start going at a different time like in the morning and see if its any better I think my least favorite thing ever is a really crowded gym though because I usually plan my workouts for the week and then if i show up and can't do what I wanted to do that day it's really annoying and also don't get a membership at planet fitness, that place blows
Yeah that is true. Well Vasa is super crowded at the beginning of the week but then dies down because I think people loose motivation towards the weekend. Haha why does it blow?
they don't have actual power lifting racks so you can't deadlift and if you bench or squat in them you wont develop proper form and will have to relearn it later
Oh haha I see. Well their whole thing is marketing toward people who dont want to feel judged and out of place at the gym. So the people that go there probably dont even care about that stuff.
form is like the most important thing and it sucks because for the first like 6 months I was lifting I did it on the smith machines which are attached at the sides so you don't need like any core engagement and it doesn't matter what other people think about form and stuff, especially because most of the people there don't even know what proper form is, but if you start squatting
Yeah those stink. I've tried them and I dont like them at all. It is better to lift less weight with good form then a lot of weight with the bars.
benching and deadlifting with bad form it will take a lot longer to correct it later yeah definitely, like weight matters way less than range of motion and form because if you just quarter squat a bunch of weight, not only will you see less results, but you will be more likely to injure yourself in addition to just looking stupid haha
Yeah seriously. I totally agree about form. How did you learn all your form? Internet videos?
yeah I follow, a lot of guys on youtube who really know what they're talking about and try to learn from their stuff but honestly my form in the main lifts could us a lot of work I should probably squat and deadlift more but I've been focusing on upper body strength since that was really lacking before
Yeah I'm the same way. My upper body is so weak and my lower body is stronger because I ran a lot. I'm about to eat dinner but I'll just leave the chat open and we can keep chatting.
alright sounds good, I'm gonna go to the gym at around 7, but I can chat until then and I've got a lot of hw to do because I might be going up to the cabin this weekend but actually I'm not sure if I want to since I went earlier this semester and I've got a lot going on right now actually I guess im going to the basketball game with some friends at 7 I'll just have to do abs at home i guess and then do cardio because I can't take another day off
Yeah I wouldn't go to the Cabin twice in one semester. What time do you think you will go to bed tonight? LIke how much hw do you have?
I mean I have enough stuff that I could stay up for a while reading and studying, but if I'm not going to the cabin I'll probably go to bed around 1 unless we need to stay up later. I just haven't gotten much sleep the past few days because I've been up really late so I'm pretty tired
Okay good plan. Yeah we have to go hard tonight. And yeah it's proably freezing at the cabin anyway. Yeah me too! But you know what, that is what the weekend is for! Drink a coke!
but we don't want this guy to stay up all night and gain the lead, so maybe someone should set an alarm and check at like 4 am to see if he's been making progress in the night
Yeah I can do that. Who is playing at the baseball game?
and yeah I could use some caffeine right now but I don't have any and I try not to buy it because it hinders the game its actually a basketball game, I don't know if I said that or not but it's just the BYU one
Oh wow I didn't know BYU basketball started yet! So when are you leaving to go to the game? Right now? I went to a BYU basketball game a while back and it was lit. I even camped out and everything. It was against Gonzaga but we lost. Who is the game against tonight?
I have no clue haha, I didn't even know there was one until now and I was planning on going to the gym, but ill just exercise after
Right. So who are you going to the game with ? Just your roomates?
do people camp out for the basketball games? there was like nobody at the last one so I don't know why anyone would need to camp out my room mate is the one who told me about it so I think its just me, him, and some girls in our ward
Well I didn't even know that it started yet. I thought we were still in football season. That sounds like a good group. Do you like your roomates?
yeah they are all pretty chill but i only really hang out with one of them, hes super cool though and I gotta go to the game now though so good luck! victory is within your grasp
