Alan, in your first issue of AARP, you talked about how much LBM one can gain in a month. It ranged from .5% - 1.5% of a person's bodyweight per month, depending upon fitness level (novice's gaining more than advanced lifters). When reading that article, I assumed you were referring to men. Were you?

Can you talk a bit about the difficulties or differences in gaining LBM for women, how much is reasonable to expect, if the gaining guidelines for women are the same as men, and anything else you care to throw my way.

Thanks!
