I am trying to use the suggested routine on here and have found out that my universal machine doesnt have all the necessary tools for those exercises such as the machine flat bench press and the machine press, are there any things I can do to replace those exercises and still try to gain mass ? any help would be great.

To replace Machine flaty bench press, there are many, here are two-
incline cable cross overs
seated machine flyes

to replace machine presses-
push ups
standing cable cross overs.
Hope this helps.

thanks for the info, I will add those to my routine as well, also since I am doing the 8 week mass peogram is it alright for me to do ab workouts everyday?, and is 15 minutes of cardio a day to much.

Thanks for the help.
