John Jewett – J3U Female Module

Description of J3U Female Module

Coaches: Help your female clients win shows with our tried-and-true framework specifically for female competitors

This course is the resource needed to coach females to a higher level of competitiveness and managing long term health

Females can not be coached like men & their uniqueness can make physique goals a challenge:

• More difficulty losing body fat = missing the mark on prep
• Easier to gain body fat = off season harder to diet from
• Slower to gain muscle = unproductive off-seasons
• Hormone dysfunction is common = problematic for physique goals
• Limited and incorrect information for females on Supplement and PEDS = High risk of side effects
• Virilization is the most significant risk for female PED users we need a harm reduction strategy in place for our competitors
• Excessive dieting leaves the female physique in physical and mental disarray

What do we do about these challenges?

In this course you will understand the female body and when to implement strategies for nutrition, training, health and PEDs into an offseason and contest prep to overcome any issue that a female physique can present.

Whether Bikini, Wellness, Figure, WPD, Fitness or Bodybuilding, this course will apply to all divisions and address unique aspects of each.
