@Mike. I’m on GLAD. When I cut I do Total Six Pack Abs, which is its own diet and workout program.
@KG. Cable flies are a good choice.
@Mikey. Pushdowns, dips, kickbacks
@Myra. I get that all the time. When people do the decline tri extensions for the first time, they’re always blown away by it! Glad you like the pushdowns and the cable preachers – my favorite exercise right now.
@Jimmy C. No real difference. Just the problem of adding enough weight as you say,
@Jim. Not my forte. At the least I recommend a multivitamin, and if you like, ZMA. I wrote an article about magnesium here…

Hey Mark
can you do one theme on vitamins and how much we really need it, and is it ok to go over RDA on some vitamins and minerals…
for example when taking ZMA and multivitamins we are using magnesium more then its RDA allowed.

Hey Mark? Would love to hear your opinion on “Weighted Press-Ups” in lieu of Flat Bench Pressing? Much difference in how the Muscle (Groups) worked out? Broke my wrist twice and find I can max out my chest without any wrist pain preventing it unlike with flat benching. Only problem is i’m up to biggest plate in the gym (25Kg) on my back, so gonna need a rucksack soon! Would love to know your thoughts. Thanks.

MARK! I just did chest and tri’s yesterday and I threw in 3 sets of decline tricep extensions. Holyyyy! AND….I LOVE the McManus Pushdowns! You can’t cheat on the McManus exercise either. On a side note…today was back and bi’s and I have been doing your pulley preacher curls…..talk about instant pump! Thank you for all your great workout info!

Hi Mark, have read a lot of your articles with interest and have applied to my workouts with fantastic results! Hoping you can help me out with a suggestion. I have to be very careful what exercises I perform with my tri-ceps as damaged my elbows while performing (badly) tri-cep extentions (14yrs old at the time!!). What would be an effective substitute for this exercise please
Cheers Mike

I like to alternate between the pec deck and cable flies. I actually prefer cable flies as I can hit different areas of my pecs with different movement. Thanks for the article, Mark.

Hey Mark, Do you personally use the MANS diet or GLAD diet. and if you are not on these diets, what do you eat? Do you eat to bulk all the time? If and when you cut what do you eat then? Thanks Mike in Wisconsin.

Ah, the illusive incline bench press that I long for. Good to hear I can use flies instead of the pec deck because we only have one at the gym and it is very popular. Today I waited extra time to start my workout because I saw a guy doing the pec deck with 4 minutes rests between each set.
thanks

Thanks Mark. Did this yesterday. Felt great! I get a serious pump from this cycle, even though there#s only like 6 sets. And there’s muscle soreness too. I can swear I can see growth already 🙂 Thanks for creating this.
