My friend bought me a tub of cinnamon protein powder as a gift (they didn't have vanilla in stock so I thought it was the next best thing), but I didn't realize until after I got it that cinnamon is mostly suited to breakfast and dessert foods. However, I don't wanna make 30 meals worth of cinnamon pancakes and muffins. What can I put it in to make me not regret every meal?

Sup, /fit/.
tldr: Need recommendations on 5-day split to introduce my girl to lifting.
Long version: My girl wants to start lifting with me and by next month I'd like to start her off on either S/L or SS. Until then I decided to take her to the gym 5 days per week to get her body accustomed to lifting, conditioning, and working on proper form. I'm looking for a preliminary 5-day split which will focus on volume (and maintaining form) before we transition into building strength. I would like her to train squats, diddies, bench, rows and OHP at least once per week during these first few weeks. She's a small girl so OHP will be substituted with dumbbells.
I am open to suggestions/advice as long as they meet the 5 days a week criteria. We currently hike 3-4 times a week, I'm on a 3 day split, any other info just ask.
Cheers.
Pic kinda related.

Just put her on the treadmill and get her ass tone
The whole point of SL and SS are to get the body accustomed to lifting, conditioning, and working proper form. That's why you start at a low weight, work on form, and work up to where it starts to challenge you. Stop being fucking retarded.
Dude just look online for a good womans program. Don't go to /fit/ for advice on this sort of thing.
Who wins this fight? Also, /MAG/, Martial Arts General thread.
what martial art should i join if i want to get the shit beaten out of me while simultaneously trying to beat the shit out of the other guy? i basically want to come out of a spar covered in bruises and with a huge adrenaline rush.
i'd fight real people but i have no idea how to and i don't want to get my face smashed into the concrete.
>>41778659
Aw goddamnit, fuck you for making me want to see this fight.
Is this workout routine retarded?
Mon: Heavy bag(boxing not kickboxing) w/ 16oz gloves for 6 rounds 3min on 1min off
Tue: Lap pool
Wed: Treadmill
Round robin in that order
Sat/Sun: Rest or body weight exercises push ups, pull ups, etc.
First time gym goer here.
Did some tricep machine workout 3 days ago. Now it hurts like hell anytime I bend my arms. I've been to the gym before many years ago and I can remember there being a burning pain when I did chest and biceps, but nothing like this.
Is this normal?
Well what's the pain like? There's a good chances it's delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and that goes away as you work out more. Cold showers help with getting rid of soreness. If it's burning, idk, but sharp pains could mean injury. Also
>tricep pushdowns
>not doing skullcrushers
>he isn't doing SS or grey skull routine
>hasn't read the book starting strength, which is actually full of good advice for the most part
But other than smugness, that's about it.
>>41778591
is DOMS the same thing that causes muscle growth? It means I did a good workout right?
>>41778630
It means you haven't used a muscle in a long time. Doms goes away with time, but yeah, I suppose it's a sign you utilized the muscle.
Read the sticky, hop on a strength program and get diet down. It's the difference between you still being dyel or making gains for the next few months man
How do I cut the remaining 8 lbs of fat without killing my gains.
>>41778475
With a knife
Proper Dieting and exercise helps.
I should specify that I'm trying to get rid of the last remaining fat particularity around my stomach so my abs will show and look aesthetic as fuck
I'm sick of being skinnyfat. How the fuck do I fix this? I keep getting different advice?
>>41778444
Recomp first imo if you've never lifted before
if you are over 15% bf cut first and get down to around 12-15. then do a controlled bulk. aim to gain around 1 lbs every 2-3 weeks and do some cardio after lifting to minimize fat gain. once you get to around 15-18% cut down again.
pick a program that has you do some hypertrophy mixed with strength like candito linear or candito 6 week and do it. with that kind of small caloric surplus you can bulk for entire year before having to cut and you'll have a decent body in 2 years.
Deadlifted 3pl8s today
>>41778330
You also lied to people on a Thai basa cultivation farming forum.
>>41778330
Same here bro, I hit 3pl8 for 5 for the first time last Thursday. We're all gonna make it senpai
lmao that's like 60 kg. i deadlift 4pl8s + the bar
Told my family my health issue
I have some time to get my shit together, or I might die. Had some new blood work come in, my health is fucked up lads
Family wanted to talk about it, I just hung up on them
is it your liver?

Let's talk about stuff that's real instead of what you've made up to sound edgy
>Finish workout
>Go to bathroom to freshen up and mire self in mirror
>I look sexy af (no homo)
>Take out phone to take pic
>Looks awful
>tfw can never get a pic that captures my gains
Anyone else get this feel?
>>41778299
the phone just pictures what you put in front of it
if you look awful, that's the reality
sorry m7 get rekt
>>41778299
how do you not feel awkward doing that there? My apartment has shit lighting and I really want to take body pics in the gym. I feel like a douche and I think people doing it are douches even though they're probably doing it for the same reason.
>gain weight
bench goes up
>gain weight
squat goes up
>gain weight
deadlift stays the same
What the fuck man.
Is it because I only do double overhand? I mean, golly fuck. I used to use straps but wanted to get my forearms stronger. It was easier for me to squat 385 than to deadlift 385 when I was 210 a couple months ago.
Im currently looking for a beginner Bodyweight routine since I'll be traveling around Europe for the next two months. I'm 6-5 and 180 pounds. I'm in good shape since I lead my college's tennis team. Looking for advice and a routine since I know relatively nothing about muscle gain. Thanks!

Have you considered getting exercise bands instead?
