Hi chaps
I'm returning to weights after a year's layoff, and to fit my limited freetime would like to condense the basic Cashman routine into 2 days. Can anyone (Mr Cashman please?) suggest the best way to structure the routines for each day, and where cardio should appear on the other days?
Thanks in advance
George

try giving it a few more, until your fully recovered. i find deadlifts ****ing hard, but i guess thats what they're MEANT to be :)
ummm, your all warmed up n stretched out etc etc?
as to what the deadlift DOES, i think it does like, your legs + ass + back as you go through each bit of the lift. i.e. legs first, then back, then ass at the end. mmmmmmmmmm
uuummmmm try posting again more specifically what your trying to say, i didn't really understand ya :D
truthfully i probably can't help, but, y'know, making threads is HELLA fun mate. try it :)

Thanks for the replys mate, I haven't been stretching before exercise though I do do a few sets of light weight first. I'll give it a bigger rest and see how it goes. What I was getting at with Deadlift is that cashman has it on back day , when I felt it more in my legs when I was doing it and also it comes under a leg exercise in bodybuilding.com. But i realise now that back is hit big style also

ace. :D
strange that, if your warming up with a few sets beforehand, and giving a few minutes between sets....
there any chance your just being a wuss? heh heh, maybe its just in your mind, though i'm probably wrong, and for ****s sake i am by no means saying try harder with deadlifts. i hear they can **** your back up proper :(
but yeah, take it easy,...,.,., but go for it. gl :D
im changing to that routine of frankies tommorow, see how it goes :X

I think you're getting sore quickly is because you've lost some degree of flexibility over time. Take the time out to stretch a bit, AFTER a good warmup.

good read - thanks for the info cashman.
i have decided to follow your guidelines as a beginner, will also start a journal too.
i have substituted dips for inclined dumbbell presses and prefer to do chins due to handy body weight of 11.5
did day one of the routine tonight - upper body feels completely worked and the skull crushers are awesome! :D

Apologies all for not being around a great deal on the site. Have had a new baby daughter who takes up all my time outside of work, the missus and training. Hope all unanswered questions got the answers they were after and will keep checking in from time to time. It's great to read that peopl,e are still finding this intro routine and beginners guide helpful.

Great Article Cashman. I have 2 questions though
Is ot OK to combine the shoulder with the leg workout?
And regards working the legs I have knee problems which I'm seeing a consultant about. Squats are a no go and deadlifts would be pushing it on back day. Leg extensions are fine so I can put those in, are these a worthy alternative. Better than nothing I would have thought.

Leg extensions are no real replacement TBH. Closest thing would be a leg press (the scecret is to compound multiple muscles in the lift and extensions will only hit the quad) and ensure knee is well supported and you don't load the knee and bend below parrallel. Test it first. If the problem is serious then I'm afraid legs are going t6o be hindered. Heal first though mate.
Again, no real comparison exercise for deadlift. if you can then do this exercise.
