In relation to building the big three lifts, what is your opinion on training the big accessories as a primary movement in order to get a break from the regular movements? E.g. instead of deadlifting, doing rack pulls or RDLs, or doing floor press or close grip instead of bench press? Thanks big man!

Do you think it would be a good idea to incorporate some exercises using a smith machine into your training ? Or is it best to just stick to barbells and dumbbells

Marc,

Do you suggest cycling off caffeinated pre workouts? I have read caffeine tolerance builds up over time and one needs more of a product to get the same effects. If cycle between stim and non stim pre workouts is recommended, can you give an estimate of how long one should use a stim pre workout before needing to cycle off? How long would one need to cycle off?

So one of the "other" companies came out with a creatine supplement containing epicatechin as a big selling point. Do you think it truly it is the myostatin inhibitor of the future? Studies done on a very small sample size support that consumption of the product correlated to a decrease in myostatin production. But like always, it seems too good to be true.
