Hey all!

I'm a co-founder at PrettyFit. We recently launched on bodybuilding.com and we're super excited to be doing so well out the gate.

We're looking for 5 female bodyspace members to...

I add hot water to a packet of instant oatmeal with coconut oil and gelatin hydrolysate (good protein).

Easy breakfast.

1 packet of instant oatmeal
1 tbsp of coconut oil
2 tbsp of beef collagen (flavorless)

Good protein, collagen and healthy fats.

Throw in a ton of spinach with eggs in the morning.

If you're not willing to look a little stupid or weird. Nothing great will ever happen to you.

For example, glute/hammie activation exercises like hip thrusts before RDLs?
