Hi,
My fiance has had to stop her PT sessions, due to work commitments and has asked to train with me. Obviously, i agreed. I have just started PHUL, after about 6 months of SL5x5. She has been doing barbell, dumbell, cable and machine exercises, including compound lifts and has good form. Her main goal is for aesthetics but she would like to get stronger also.
Would PHUL be a good program for her or are there better programs, tailored more towards women?
Also, she is unable to do any chest work at the moment, due to recent breast augmentation, so i would have to keep tgis out of the program for now.
Cheers,
Ste

    I went from SLs to 5/3/1. Wasn't a fan of 5/3/1, so I switched to Norton's PH3. Loved that.

    The Bridge is perfect for this situation.

    I've yet to have anybody not do extremely well with aesthetics and strength coming off a LP on that program.

    It also prepares you for the next level which I've yet to see another free program do so.
