The principles of strength and hypertrophy training established in male subjects are generally applicable to women.

“women have been shown to gain just as much lean mass as a percentage of their starting lean mass it is the relative increase so for example if people add 10% lean mass something like that well if you're a male and you have you know 70 kilos of lean mass now you're 77 if you're a female and you had 50 kilos of lean mass now you're 55 right so the male added seven kilos the female added five kilos but relative to their start they added the same and that's what the research literature says is they pretty much can add the same amount as a percentage of the starting lean mass and the same thing for strength”
