A girl friend of mine wants me to put her together a fitness

>wants her routine to mostly consist of machines
why is that a need?

Forget about machines, go calisthenics

>>35586872
shes a girl and says the gym intimidates her so wants to begin with machines cause its hard to fuck them up, doubt she has the strength for calisthenics atm tho

>>35586899
Calisthenics are the kind of exercise children do in primary school, how would she "lack the strength"?

>>35586899
machines are ok for upper body but squats will be a must

>>35586899
I find the best fun and most rewarding method of lifting to be training with a set of weights and moving up to more. I didn't ever really get that feeling with machines.. maybe because it's pretty simple to forget how much weight you ordinarily do with those.

What's great about free weights is how they improve stabilizers as well.

Also, this >>35586930

I've been in your situation more times than I can care to count OP, and here's what ALWAYS happens:

Some guy or girl asks for help, you spend time trying to help them, they don't take your advice at all or use whatever routine you made for them - in fact you're lucky if they even go to the gym.

Every.Fucking.Time.

>>35586925
Most Western men can't even do more than 10 pushups

Don't forget that we live in a pretty pussified society

>>35586979
If you can't do more than 10 pushups, do several reps with less than 10 pushups, then move on to more pushups over the weeks.
What's the excuse?

>>35586960
Pretty much this

Soon she'll ignore her Phone on workout days and get angry when you ask about progress

>>35587002
Why are you telling me this?

>>35587020
Not talking about you, but about your average western man and how the fact that he not being able to do more than 10 pushups is not relevant.

>>35586830
>implying the problem in the pic is possible
>implying the "girl friend" isn't you
Anyway.
The PPL 3x week part is okayish in principle, except the volume is too high.
The machines part is shit. Machines are literally Hitler. You are kucking yourself.
I'd have her do SS with one change. A complete beginner can fuck up their Power Cleans, so I'd do:
>A
Squats 3x5
Bench 3x5
Deadlifts 1x5
>B
Squats 3x5
OHP 3x5
Chinups 3xF (lat pulldowns if chinups too hard)
GHR 3x10 (if GHR are too hard, back extensions and leg curls)

If she's that adamant about machines, have her do
Smith squats 3x12
Smith Bench 2x12
Smith OHP 2x12
Lat pulldowns 4x12
Leg curls 2x12
Donkey kickbacks 2x12

>>35587002
lots of girls cant do a single pushup, the vast majority of girls cant do a single pullup. the best way to get someone to give up is to keep them frustrated, and this applies doubly so with women. although the smart thing to do would be to progress with negatives or GTG sets, I guarantee a female gym newbie would be more satisfied putting up more reps or more weight on a machine than struggling to do calisthenics.

she's probably entering the gym with a narrow goal in mind (pic related - bigger ass, more "toned" arms) so all that pushing and pulling is unnecessary - do a single push, single pull, squat variant, then lunges, glute bridges, curls, and rope pushdowns

>>35587416
It's ok friend. There is no solution

>>35587083
>>35587241
>>35587274

it's literally impossible to do without crossing through the homes

>>35587274
where is the last house's gas?

1 vertical push 3x8
1 vertical pull 3x8
1 horizontal push 3x8
1 horizontal pull 3x8
1 Quad 3x8
1 Bent hamstring 3x8
1 straight leg hamstring 3x8
(If you have a GHR machine, then the last two can be replaced by this)
Planks

Then a whole bunch of ass exercises.

Done.

OP here. Came back to this thread hoping for advice, instead found pure autism. Never change, /fit/.

>>35588748
Anon pls. Fire in chimney -> bad.
Fire in fireplace -> good
Now, you see anon, this ''fire'' you are talking about is supposed to represent gas, and we don't want gas in our chimney either.

You were the one who triggered it.

Someone post the solution on a torus please. This is hard to watch

Don't be retarded

You can't connect all of them, basic graph theory.

All loopholes are true autistry against math.

Also, bodyweight+machines should be fine. P/P/L and choose 4 nice compound exercises and throw in some cardio bunny shit.

>>35588451
This wasn't the one I was thinking of, but it pretty much gets the job done.
