muscle memory real or not?

[Swansonball]

I was wondering during this time of no gym is it true our muscles keep memory so that when gyms reopen we can get back our gains fast? there is some science out there about DNA nuclei which hold onto themselves even with muscles shrink up. was curious if you guys can share experiences with getting back gains after a break.

Muscle memory exists, it's built into our system. I've had muscles recover even after surgery.

it definitely exists bro... you need to make sure you are eating well obviously but yes, absolutely it does

It's not memory as such. That's just what we call it. It's just that it's a LOT easier to gain back what you lost vs what was really hard to get in the first place.

how did Tom Brady and Adrian Peterson come back the next year and have record breaking seasons after blowing out their knees? of course muscle and body memory exists.

Absolutely it is real. You can be doing a ton at home to stay in good shape though. For example, I see a lot of guys doing the 300 push up per day program. They do 100 decline in the AM, 100 flat in the afternoon, and 100 incline in the PM.

Its 100% real. When your body is adapted to being a certain size it will get back to that quickly
