The hormone cycle and female lifters

T-Nation recently published a very good article on how hormones can affect performance in women:

A lot of it rings true for me - particularly the luteal phase. Once I realised how this affected me I started programming it as a deload/recovery week and easing off my lifting/cardio. This was one of the great advantages of keeping a training diary - it allowed me to relate lifting performance to issues with my monthly cycle.



I was particularly interested in the dietary advice in the article and might try implementing some of it in the coming year.
