Frequently asked questions about the titles for women
Quick answers about which title to start with, which titles are written specifically for women, how the training and nutrition blueprints fit together, and where the medical line sits.
Which title should a woman start with?
It depends on where you are. New to weights: Start Strong, a three day plan for a first year. Already lifting and building a physique: the training blueprint for women for the lifting and the nutrition blueprint for women for the food. In your forties or fifties, when the body changes the rules: The Complete Guide to Fitness, Food and Weight for Women Over 40. Fat loss that stopped working after 35: the Insulin Sensitivity Blueprint. Planning a first show: Shawn Ray on Competing and The Cut Protocol.
Which titles are written specifically for women?
Four of the nine. The nutrition blueprint for women, as a PDF book and as an audiobook, the training blueprint for women, and the guide for women over 40 are written for a female body from the first chapter: the cycle, the transition years, bone and recovery are part of the system, not an appendix. Start Strong, the Insulin Sensitivity Blueprint, Shawn Ray on Competing and The Cut Protocol are written for every lifter and sit in this collection because they apply to women who train as fully as to men.
Do I need both the training blueprint and the nutrition blueprint for women?
They cover different halves of the work, so they are built to run together, but either one stands on its own. The training blueprint is about the lifting: how hard a working set should be, how many weekly hard sets each muscle needs, conditioning and fatigue. The nutrition blueprint is about the food: calories, protein, carbohydrates and fats across building and leaning phases. Neither one repeats the other.
Should I choose the PDF book or the audiobook of the nutrition blueprint for women?
Choose by how you will use it. The PDF book runs 68 pages across 20 chapters and is the one you keep open while the plan runs, with the meal templates and the tracking chapter to print. The audiobook runs 2 hours 42 minutes across 12 chapters and spends its length on the reasoning behind the numbers. They are two separate works on one subject, not one text in two formats.
Does Shawn Ray write about the cycle and menopause from his own experience?
No, and the titles say so. The training and nutrition principles are Shawn Ray's, from his own career, and he states plainly that he has not lived through a cycle or menopause himself. The chapters on those years are built on the published research rather than on his own experience.
Are the titles for women medical advice for menopause or pregnancy?
No. They are educational content for women who train, not medical care. Whether hormone therapy is right for you is a decision for your doctor and your full history, and the guide for women over 40 takes no position on it. The training blueprint covers training during and after pregnancy, and it treats the postpartum clearance appointment as a starting point and a pelvic floor physical therapist as the next step before loaded lifting. Talk to a clinician before changing how you eat or train if you are pregnant, postpartum or managing a diagnosed condition.
