					<description><![CDATA[Mark, 

Awhile back you posted a link for a site you recommend to find out the number of carbs, fat, calories etc. in a food/liquid. This particular site was great because it allowed the user to enter the amount of a certain food and it would calculate the content in a pie chart and in a list similar to what one would see on a food label.

If you are familiar with what I&#039;m describing can you post the link? I&#039;m having no luck using google and I forgot the name of the site.

Thanks in advance!]]></description>

@Steve. In that case, skip it buddy and do a decline bench press - it&#039;s the same kind of biomechanics involved.]]></description>

@Luke. On a chest workout, I do both those chest exercises. With a bench press, you can alternative bar and dumbbell from time to time. I do.
Weighted pull-ups are in the THT exercise bank, but they&#039;re not one of the fundamental exercises. I think a bent over barbell or dumbbell row gives a better contraction on the lats. But the fundamental back exercise is the deadlift. 
Farmer&#039;s walk I don&#039;t like. Hard to measure progress, no repeated contractions. No rep range. It&#039;s not on my THT list of exercises.
Many thanks.]]></description>

@Peter. I do list pull-ups and pulldowns in the THT Exercise Bank. I wouldn&#039;t consider them fundamental. I rarely do them actually.
The best way to hit any muscle is to work it according to its function. The function of the lats is to bring the arms both DOWN and BACK behind the body.
A pullover machine works along the path of this function very well indeed. A pullover will recruit and isolate the lats better than anything else. 
Bent Over Rows are still are great choice...and I DO do them on a regular basis. 
But Deadlifts are the fundamental back exercise - a pull movement.
If you haven&#039;t got it, download the THT Exercise Bank file for the full list.
Thanks.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Mark, I would also like to get your opinion on some other heavy punishing exercises such as farmer&#039;s walk?  Also, I agree with Peter Williams, why not weighted pull-ups? I use these in my training, talk about destroying your upper body.  Also, since you get a better range of motion with dumbbells (especially in the bottom stretch position), would you prefer to use decline dumbbell presses over barbell presses?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hi Mark,

I&#039;m surprised there aren&#039;t any &quot;pull&quot; exercises on the list. Are those fundamentally different in terms of the growth hormone response? Are there any that are better than others? I&#039;m thinking of Rows, (Weighted) Pull-ups, or Lat Pulldowns, but I&#039;m open to others as well.]]></description>
