I have a potentail client who wants do her Figure first show in March '06. I have trained male clients and have advised several female bodybuilders, in the past.
Here's some stats on my girl...35yr/old, very fit and well toned slightly muscular upper body. Lower body has that softer look, but with great potential...legs proportionate to height, and small hip structure. Very pretty face with a natural smile.
My questions...how would some of you go about training her to increase/maintain upper body muscle mass, while getting her legs shredded? What diet/cardio guidelines should we consider?
Also, we have spoke about slight steroid use, to which she is open and eager to learn of. (She is concerned of developing male characteristics.)
***Again keep in mind---I basically know what to do for a male competitor, but am looking at some of the different considerations, of getting a female ready for a show.
Thank for any and all advice.
