Hi all.

Due to a new job and generally losing the habit, ive been away for some time. Still training, but my new job doesnt allow me to switch to the forum every 2 mins to check new threads.

So here's my situation, spent the last autumn and winter bulking, gone Ok, gone from around 163lbs to 188.5llbs, mostly decent weight too.

And now its cut down time. Ive been doing New Rules of Lifting to bulk, and id recommend it to anyone. I dont necessarily think its a perfect plan, but having a clear plan to work to certainly helps.

I was going to use it to cut, but its very leg-heavy.

Squat
Cable Row
Hip Extension
Push Press
Lunge
Crunch

Deads
Bench
Split Squat
Pulldown
Romanian Deads
Lateral Roll


All well and fine, 3-4 workouts a week, no more than 2 days running

Except i play football/soccer on tuesdays and thursdays, and have been getting round it by have sunday as leg day. I know cardio isnt strictly leg work in the same sense as resistance training, but potentially 4-5 days of leg training is going to start taking its toll.

Plus i have a small knee problem (cartilage) that needs sorting.

What do we think?

I was thinking about doing the above routine twice a week, then 2-3 days of lifting heavy weights, cycling carbs so i can do my weights and still get round a football pitch.

Any advice?

Thanks in advance.

Ben
