smart off about what??
When I smart off...believe me - there will be NO doubt.
but since you brought the subject up.....I think its a irresponsible to tell a client that you will train her, having zero experience doing a diet for a woman....much less a woman who is entering a show.
but...in any case...
why dont you tell us what you are planning in terms of diet/weights and cardio and we'll go from there.
Post up your ideas.....I will suggest that her cals are a bit high unless she is doing a massive amount of cardio......
what macro split is she on??
how many meals per day?
how much cardio??
fat burners?
Well, I have had this girl for 4 yrs now, she is in great shape (12% bf, and for a girl that drank beer 24/7 in college, she looks super..)
but back to the ?'s, she wants to do this show just for fun, to challenge her self. So as of it being "irresponsible for me to train her".... that's not the case nor the point! I wanted to know from some of the women in here if they had any advise for me. Like I wrote, I have never had to get a female client or a female friend in "fitness contest shape". She is my client and asked me to help. I just wanted someone elses 2 cents that I might have not thought of.... I just found this site 2 wks ago and thought I would try to use it? Didnt think I would have to justify myself just because I wanted some advise from someone else. I was hoping this site would be a usefull tool every once in a while and maybe learn a bit too....
now to answer some of your ?'s
she weight trains 2x a week total body each session. 75 mins cardio 4x a week as of now.
she eats 3 meals a day and has 2 pro shakes in between (about 1500/1800 cal and no carbs after 3pm), a gallon of water. (of course I trust this what she actually doing...)
and she is on NO supplements, other then her multi vit.
We have 8wks to get ready for her deal....
again thanks for any advise,
J
