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!

Hi Missjane,
Re-check the stats, they should range from
0.25-1.5%. I adjusted that on 4/4/09 & announced the change in the errata section of the May '09 issue. Women can expect to achieve the lower end of the ranges I listed (see the asterisk @ the bottom of table 4 on page 4 of the November issue).
^^All that is moot if you're not a subscriber -- let me know. Thanks.
