How much muscle to put on
I’m trying to set a goal of how much muscle to put on in three months, but I don’t know how much is possible in three months naturally for a female. I’d like to come in at a lean 120 lbs next competition. This means I’ll have to add 8 lbs of muscle since I came in at 112 for my last show. To add 8 lbs muscle at a muscle to fat ratio of 2:1, I’ll add a total of 12 lbs, 8 lbs muscle and 4 lbs fat. At this point I would weigh 132 and have only 12 lbs of fat to lose. This will be easier than the initial 25 lbs I had to lose for my first competition and since I’ll have so much more muscle mass hopefully the fat will come off easier. The most important thing now is eating enough and training HARD!
12 lbs= 6 weeks of dieting. Not too bad….
