If it wasn't for the huge upperbody I'd think that was Jan Ullrich
Weary is the path that does not challenge.

One day off per hour of racing. So if your race took three hours, take off three days. Now go whale on your pecs.
Edited - got my intended effects. :)

HAHA. Thanks for keeping it clean. Pictures of me in spandex are bad enough.

That is a general recommendation. That doesn't mean lay around and do nothing for days either.
If you did a triathlon you should get some rest but you can go back to strength training up your upper body with a day of rest.

Don't worry. It wasn't a nudie or anything. Just a bodybuilder that took it way too far.
Speaking of which, did anyone else see that show on the other night called "the man who's biceps exploded". This dude did so many steroids that his bicep honestly exploded. He was like syringing tons of blood out of it and everything. It was ridiculous (and kind of awesome).

There is the video of the weightlifter that blew out his sphincter and dropped his intestines on the floor. ;-P

The best part about that show (in my opinion) was the piece they did on the guy who basically set himself up as the human guinea pig of the steroid world. You would send him something and he would test it and tell everyone in his blog what the effects were. Somebody sent him a miracle weight loss supplement that you were suppose to take a teaspoon of 20 minutes before you worked out, and the weight would just fall off. Well it worked so well that the guy upped the dosage and was drank two cups the next day until he had a heart attack because the miracle drug was actually liquid ecstasy.
It was kind of sad and kind of funny in a sick way at the same time.

Yeah. That part was definitely awesome. So interesting, and definitely sad. I love some of those obscure shows they put on TLC, and of course none of them are as good as the one about the girl with two heads (or the girls with one body).

That is how some people interpret recovery ;-)

And I always thought recovery meant eat ice cream and do whatever you want without worrying if it is on the schedule!

Well there is such a thing as passive recovery, but I tried that one first time around (took two days off) and ended up with a nasty cold and a busted ankle (which is still giving me the occasional problem). So now I'm on the active recovery train.

For those of you who strength train, how long do you wait after a race to resume it? Ok to be honest I'm just looking for someone to tell me that three days after a race isn't too soon. ;)
