Ya I think that would be possible. I work on Mondays and Thursdays though so I doubt I would be able to workout on those days.


That's perfectly fine. If you can work out 5 days a week, a gym membership will be MUCH better for you.

Please let me know when you do this and I will get a plan made up for you.

Alternatively, start with this 5x5 plan, except substitute the 2 days off with monday and thursday.

For slow cooking purposes, you'd be better off thawing it for best results.

With regard to the Monk Fruit question, I would highly recommend that you research the process used to assimilate the monk fruit into it's sugary form. Monk Fruit, while sweeter than sugar, has other flavors associated with it, which require chemical solvents to remove. The remainder of these solvents MAY cause potential long term health issues (but there have been no real studies conducted as of yet).

With that in mind, I am neither advocating nor disapproving of the use of Monk Fruit as a sweetener, yet.

If you notice that your shoulders are rolling forward during shoulder exercises, this could be a sign of weak trapezius muscles. Is there any pain associated with doing the exercises?

Secondly, for deadlifts, you can stick to whatever grip you are comfortable with. I personally use the over/under grip.

You should do 5x5 for all the power/compound exercises and tel:15/12/10/8/6 with all other exercises.

Another thing to consider, if you do have significantly weak traps, you are going to need to aggressively hit shrugs, both front and side shrugs. If we determine that is your problem, you are going to do 15-20 sets of both side and front SHRUGS at least 2-3x per week (in addition to your regular routine). Also you will make sure to pay very close attention to your form and hold each shrug at the top for a full second and let it down for another full second. Do not roll your shoulders during the shrug, but rather feel the trap swell and push forward, as if you are shrugging from saying "I don't know."


I don't manage more than 4 kg 12 rep on lateral raise.. Or side raises, don't know the name..

Correct. The EFA supplement I tend to like the best is NOW! Super Omega 3, or Super Omega 3-6-9 depending on your general macros. If you are getting enough good fats, stick to just the Super Omega 3
