My name is Fraser, I’m 38, with a background in Sports Science.
I thought I’d give you a walkthrough of what content is available on 9to5strength.com:
Fitness Testing: I have a lifelong project to track my strength, fitness and overall health with a series of annual tests. The goal is to monitor (and hopefully limit!) the natural decline seen with age. I have a YouTube Series with video explanations for each test as well as a video for each of my annual results.
Self Experiments: I’m a data analyst and I love running controlled experiments on myself, often with a goal of self improvement. While it’s not my main focus, my most popular series of experiments so far has been trying to reverse my hair loss.
Workout Programs: I leverage my knowledge of Sports Science to review online workout programs, including programs like Vert Code Elite, Smolov Jr and German Volume Training. This section also includes articles for programs I haven’t personally tried, a popular one being Mark Rippetoe’s Starting Strength.
Complete Exercise Guides: I was frustrated at seeing websites spin out hundreds of articles on training body parts like chest, back and legs. For beginners and intermediate lifters, it’s really not that complicated. I wrote one complete article on each as well as a second outlining sample workouts.
Book Reviews: I love non-fiction and have read dozens of books on nutrition, exercise and longevity. My favourites end up as articles and may feature in my YouTube Series. My top pick in recent years would have to be Outlive by Dr Peter Attia.
UK Nutrition Tables: While I’m no longer actively updating them, I used the food traffic light system to colour code every menu item from popular UK restaurant chains to highlight the amount of salt, sugar and saturated fat in their meals.
I’ve also written articles on monthly challenges, beginner nutrition & exercise, as well as more intermediate articles on nutrition and exercise.
Hopefully one of these categories takes your interest, otherwise I’m most active on my YouTube channel, which has 17,000 subscribers and counting!
