How about some mandatory poses and pictures. That would help a lot. We can't really go by the scale as much as what she should look like up on stage.

How much cardio does she do? What is her weight training like? Supplements?Etc, Etc. At that time, people can give you a better answer.

Her cardio consists of boot camp classes 3times a week 45 min a session and she runs 1 mile a day 4 days a week. Trains 2 body parts each workout and hits bies and tris twice a week and rest of body parts once a week she trains 6 days a week her sups: she has her BCAA drink during her work out and takes an ultra mega energy & metabolism pack witch has most of her vitamins in it. ( she is doing this natural) I don't currently have any pics

Show date???

You dont need bis or tris for figure......quit wasting time training them.

Train back, delts, quads, hams, and glutes. Abs are made in the kitchen.

The yogurt, cottage cheese and protein powder will eventually need to be cut out but probably not yet.

5 pounds is perfect drop for first 2 weeks, dont want to lose faster than that.

My girlfriend is an IFBB figure pro and I train her, ask away!!

Thank you Utah

I was wondering what your wife's weight training routine looks like and how often does she train each of those body parts. We are not sure witch show she will be doing yet. Looking at one in May or June. Again this is her first show so we need to see how she looks in the next couple months Thanks

I'm sorry (girlfriend)

My wife did figure, she had a hard time because she was too muscular. From what the judges told her, they want them at 70% of their best(whatever that means).. We never could figure it out.. If your girl is muscular do physique.. Practice practice practice posing.. This is also huge!

As for training, hitting the tie ins is also important. My wife specifically trained legs twice/week. She never did chest or arms..but did do shoulders,back,calves.

Wife sounds better, I just need to quit competing for a yr to afford a ring haha.

Sorry I didn't get back to this sooner! I totally forgot I replied.

I used to have her training 5 days a week, but she works 2 jobs and I cut it down to 4 last yr and worked much better.

delts(fast, little to no rest, as much as she can get done in 45 min. I don't let
her even use a workout log on delts anymore. Her weakest bodypart)

quads

back

glutes & hams(she has a crazy genetic peak to her hammies, so rarely curls,
just stiff deads if any direct ham work)

No two workouts are the same, try to get a ton of variety on exercises. Sets range from 12-16 sets per workout. Lots of intensity techniques such as drops, rest-pause, partials, supersets, 7's, etc.
