So, it’s a week after my first marathon. Yes, I know, a marathon is the most catabolic thing you can do to your body and is ultimately very bad for my T-Nation-ness. Suffice it to say, there were women involved.
I haven’t been able to hit the weights for the last two months. Although my bench press max has lost 30-40 pounds, I can still do 14 pull-ups. Obviously, I lost 10 pounds, including muscle. However, I now have some striation in my deltoids and upper thighs.
What does the board recommend as a program to get some strength back?
Pass on some specific details and I can help you out.
Biggest thing?
Protein
Power Drive in the morning
After my triathlons I up my intake of Grow! for the entire week after. I mix up five scoops of Grow! in the morning and make sure I consume it evenly over the entire day. This is in addition to my normal meals.
Also, up your fish oil intake too. I’m always at 12 caps a day.
Also, a test support like Alpha Male can help pick you up for the week.
