Way too many factors to consider here...such as:

1. Genetics (the biggest one)
a) is she arleady somewhat in shape?
b) how does she gain naturally?
c) You have consider she needs time to "cut up" as well as build muscle
2. Obviously Training/Diet
3. Supplements/Gear if any

4 Months would be impossible for a BB'ing competition, however I'm not sure what exactly is required for a figure comp. Like I said, if she has great genetics already then I would say it's possible, but if were talking someone who's chubby and hasn't worked out very much in their life then I would say wait for the next comp.

She is somewhat in shape....gains at average rates I think, and the comp is in 7 months....I took that into account....3 months cutting I was guessing. Her diet and training I think is good, and no gear.

Do you have any suggestions for supplements that might help her? As for genetics.....I honestly have no idea how to tell.......skinny calves.....I have the same problem....I know her pain.

Thanks for responding anyways. So with the info I gave......just curious, how much muscle can even the suckiest "candidate" gain in 4 months? In your opinion of course.

That's the question nobody ever likes to answer, because of the variables

However, I would say 5-10lbs wouldn't be far fetched at all...but I'm not experienced in female training. And though that doesn't sound like much compared to average gains here, 10lbs of muscle on a female is a BIG difference.

FIGURE COMPETITION? OR BODYBUILDING?

DO YOU NEED A BUNCH OF MUSCLE FOR FIGURE COMPS? OR JUST A GOOD PHYSIQUE? A GOOD PHISIQUE DOES NOT NECESSARILY CONSTITUTE A BUNCH OF MUSCLE.

an already trained male could naturally gain about 8 pounds of actual muscle tissue in 4 months. A female will gain something less than that.
