Bit of a weird one here, Im a PT, more the oly lifting, endurance and funtional training (don't judge me to harshly) stuff rather than bodybuilding. A Friend of mine is currently in training for her first bodyuilding comp. Unfortunaly she has been forced to part ways with her current trainer ( who is very experienced in bodybuilding and competing) and has approached me about PTing her leading up to her comp.
I really want to do right by her and refused at first on the grounds that this isn't my area of expertise, she however said she wanted someone she trusts and who will push her. Both of these I Can do, however my knowledge of bodybuilding is limited to training i did 6 or so years ago all of which was mass buiding male area, so I would be immensly gratefull on any and all advice on female diet, supplementation and pre contest prep.
info on the lass im helping shes 24, already very lean and well built, her previous trainer had stated she could compete right now ( previous coach had worked with a female oylimpia compeitor) but that she would come in perfectly with 6 weeks prep. good legs and has been told calfs should not to be worked on as already superb.
Also Im not charging her in any way for help on this as 1 shes a mate, and 2 Bodybuilding is a sport I am pretty inexperienced in and don't feel right charging her for any advice tha could ( for want of a better term) fuck her over.
Cheers for looking
My advice would be to have her hire someone experienced, and i don't mean this as a slight to you or your abilities, but there are some good coaches out there who do consultations. Look at guys like John Meadows or Shelby Starnes for example as two good places to start. From what i've heard getting prepared for a contest is a very difficult thing for someone to do. Most people hire individuals like to two i've mentioned above because its stressful enough as it is, so its nice having someone tell you with a subjective eye what you need, and what to do to get there.
With it being her first go around, there are plenty of things those two guys could help her out with to ensure she comes into the show as good as she needs to be. Just my 2cents though.
