Miss eating 300/400 ml of it in one go - & then feeling way too full. And then, there's Cheese! Cheddar, Camembert, Edam....& Gouda! Lets not forget my favourite....Crumbly Cheshire.......

I don't know where you live, but cheeses of all types are available in supermarkets in Pattaya. The choice is too big, but the prices are high.

Does not mean its not a good program just not really what I like doing and it couldbe dangerous to me doing so alone. I focus a bit more on other programs. Truth is all programs work till they don't. Need to change it up after a while. I change it up every 2 weeks.

It has high volume weeks, lower volume weeks and an other.. 3 phases per period. For the life of me I can't remember its name but i was interested in it in the past. Never really got to it as it was quite technical (works a lot with percentages from 1RM) and it would take a time to find the right weights too. Normally I change program after 2 months.

I am bit more structured its in my nature, both things could work depends a bit on who you are and how you respond to training. Though I don't really change my exercises much, i found those that are most effective for me and keep them. The change happens in volume (reps - sets) and pauses.. and speed of the movement. My preference stays with higher rep based programs, 5 x 5 worked good for me but that is about as low as I want to go reps wise. I also got bored with it as the true 5 x 5 is centered around the big lifts and does not leave room for much other stuff. But when I did it I did gain muscle and strength. Its a solid program especially for beginners good for linear progression.
