How Much Glutamine should she take?

 

[new@gettinbig]

I usually take 5-7grams in my shake after heavy training....

how many exercises should women do per body part? and can you give me rep range. This is of course while on a diet.

In my opinion.... women are no different in terms of training. If she wants size, lift heavy heavy heavy. Whether dieting or not.

She doesn't want to get big she just had a baby and wants to lose about 30lbs in 5 months. she just wants to look fit again.

If shes not doing any AAS and maybe only thinking about regular fat burners, whether it be an ECA stack or clen/T3 she WONT get big either way.... W/o any real drugs she doesnt have the testosterone to put any size on. Such a misconception when it comes to women and how they're supposed to lift...

Just have her lift just like anyone else. Get her on a good cardio program and clean up her diet. She'll lose for sure and wont have to worry about getting big like a bodybuilder.

Thanks for clarifying that for me, and your help.

One more Question. She wants to drop 30lbs, she currently weighs 180 after her Pregnancy. Her current calorie intake is anywhere from 1500 to 1700. She also eats about 5 times per day her main problem is all the sugar and fatty food.
I read somewhere that one should not go under 1800 cals. If she increases her calories and cuts the fatt and sugar. will she lose weight?

I know what you mean about all the sugar, that was my problem too. Definitely needs to trade those sugar calories for healthy calories. That's great she's already eating 5 times a day. You're correct about not getting calories too low. Got to have enough fuel in her furnace to train. As she trains, she'll trade the fat for lean mass, which will make fat-burning even easier. As she gains more lean mass, she'll may need to bump calories UP so she can keep her new muscle and continue to burn fat.

Like it's already been said, she shouldn't be afraid to train hard and heavy, like in the 8-10 rep range for upper body, maybe slightly higher reps for lower body depending on her build.

Rather than think "lose 30 pounds", she should think 'lose inches and body fat'. Toss the scale and get her body fat measured. Or monitor progress by mirror and how clothes fit. Remind her that muscle is denser than fat, which means it's heavier BUT takes up less space. Since I started training hard and heavy, my weight has increased slightly, but I DROPPED two pant sizes and look tons better.
