pump me up

Due to lack of effort as well as all this cardio crap I've been doing, I've found it extremely difficult to maintain/add upper body muscle.  So, as of yesterday I'm taking a steady diet of l-glutamine, creatine and protein.  I'm hoping that this, in addition to more gym time will help me not be such a skinny little guy. 

The first 5k I ran this summer opened my eyes (again).  I was like "whoa.  where did all these skinny sickly people come from?  I  don't want to be one of those.  I'll  let you know how it all shakes out. 

I'm  going to be on the road for 2 days a week for the next 2-3  weeks so  that won't help.  AND, did I mention that my second kid is scheduled to be born on November 11th?  I'm sure that will take up some of my workout time.  (As well as MW2 time.) 

Man, my wife has some nerve having a kid the DAY AFTER the greatest game of all time is released.  I tried to get the OB to keep him in there for a few more weeks/months but apprently the human reproductive process does not work like that.  Oh well.....

I feel you on this. I wish I had extra time for gym activities. I feel like with all the running and cycling I have lost what used to look like "bulk", at least the little I had. 175 to 140 in a year. I am working toward doing my first triathlon next year and want to work on some lean strength, but I feel like I look too skinny these days and lean muscle too often looks like I dont eat. I probably need to look into supplements like you are, and make time once a week or so for dedicated gym lifting.

wow, at 140 you're like a cancer/aids patient aren't you? If you can do a marathon you are already trained for a tri. At least the endurance aspects. If you have a decent swim stroke you'll be fine. glutamine is good for immune system and keeping what muscle you have. Creatine isn't the most appropriate for distance/endurance athletes. Not enough time in a day anymore.

I figure I'll use this winter to get back up to speed on swimming. I used to swim quite a bit, but was never on a competitive level. Having fluctuated weights, I would say that at 150 I am probably ideal. Don't need to gain much, but I wouldnt mind 5 or so pounds of muscle. I'll have more time this winter when everything freezes up around here and it becomes harder to run. :D
