re: my last question, sorry i meant decline flyes,doh!
P.S JUST FOUND THE EDIT BUTTON. 
You can swap though decline flys aren't as good as weighted dips for chest IMHO. If you are working deep and strict and with intensity on your dumbell bench then this would be fine though personally I don't find decline work great for chest (hits delts and tris harder for me). Better at either flat or incline tbh.

Started cashmans regime last week and i must say feel great, couple of things i could do with clearing up though, the deadlift that i do for my back trainin how do they differ to the one for my leg training, also i can manage chin ups but only with my hands say 8 inches from the end of the bar, is this ok for the moment?
thanks

Always try to have a protein shake before cardio (even 1st thing in the morning).
Why is this? And is it crucial?

Hey Cashman...thanks for the great advice. I have recently satrted body uilding from being a kickboxer. I have always admired you guys and the way you shape yourselves and now i am hangin up my gloves, i thought i would love to move into this arena. Problem for me is that i am only a small guy. Body fat is obviously not too much of an issue although i have put on a bit since i have cut my training down, but my problem is that i do not have much in the way of a foundation of muscles to start with. I think i am benching about90kgs right now, (although i stated only able to lift50 so i see some improvemt there!) I know it'll be hard work but am more than used to the training and nutrition side of things so see it as just taking a different direction. I love it so far, been doing it about four month now...and enjoy every session, sad but true. I love the pumped feeling i get at the end s can only imagine what it must feel like for you guys with good physiques. I hope to be ther one day.
I have the nutrition sorted, just not sure where to start with supplements and shakes...it seems to be a mine field with everyone out trying to make money of us that don't know what is good and what isn't...can you offer me any advice please as i am not too well off for cash but really want to put in 110 % effort. I am currently taking prolab whey protein and phosphogen elite as i have heard it helps...any suggestions?
Thanks, and sorry if i get to be a pain with my asking questions...i just really have a desire to succeed in this.

the leg one is with stiff leg (almost totally straight with force being exerted through the hamstrings. Look up in exercise directory for technique on both).
chins as you are doing them is fine. Get wider as you get stronger. Enjoy

Yes because when you train cardio you send your body into a catabolic state where you are using partly protein for fuel. If this isn't available to your body it will go into gluconeogenesis where it will convert muscle protein to fuel. Not good.

welcome to the club. glad you are enjoying it. save money with the supps and buy quality food - complex carb, good fats and protein. Whey protein is the only supp I'd go for at this point for 1st thing in morning and post workout. Other than that get your protein from whole food.

on the face of it markie three times a week is fine. My question is what is your routine and diet like and what are your goals?

to be honest Boris that's way too much for a 5x5 programme. This is to be done at very high intensity and as such you will quite simply be overtrained. It also neglects key body parts for back and legs. This is a problem. These are the two largest muscle groups in the body. You risk long term injury and physical imbalance if you focus on the areas you have listed.
Use my 5x5 sample on my routine listing for a balanced programme.

6 Days A Week-Overdoing It? The scales seem to like it! - Jul. 26 2006 18:26:34

I've just stared going 6 days after a few months on and off of 3 days a week. My main problem is I'm overweight and I find combining weights and aerobic exercise every night is helping, I don't overdo the weight. I may be risking overdoing it but it's hard to stop when the scales are showing the pounds are dropping.

I do about half an hour of Tae-Bo (DVD), about 45 mins of weights and then 20 mins on teh rowing machine. I guess Tae-Bo acts a warm-up and the rower as a coool-down.
I make sure it's not too quick after eating so I can go at it more and my last meal tends to be a yoghuirt drink or two.
