Not sure but i do know its easier to re-make gains you lost than gain new ones.
Id take advantage of that first then run -

Definitely. Just look at Victor Martinez who lost all his size when he went to jail for 8 months and wasnt allowed to lift weights. He bounced back in no time.

Well although the gains came faster this time than they did when I originally built it, I don't feel like I'm really "bouncing back" the way I had hoped. Maybe with so many years of inactivity my muscle memory was getting Muscle Alzheimer's...

No. I asked you to tell us your muscle memory story.
IMO muscle memory is a muscle that returns to the state that it once had.
Do you have that story? - 11-25-2012, 09:32 PM

well, if by everyone he means me......
but he has a point, im curious to the muscle memory story as well.
I have one...
at 20 i was 150, felt great, stong, young, in my prime.
then I almost died from a brain tumor. (non cancerous) reall f'ed me up.
dropped down to 130 (5'9 at the time) during recovery.
once i was able to begin working out again, easily returned to 150.
later on, got mixed up with bad influences, started using drugs.
back down to about 140.
got married, turned life around, back to 155 that time.
cool story bro.... - 11-26-2012, 09:08 AM
by 5'9 at the time, i say that because since I started squating with weight, i've gotten shorter in the last 8 years. 1/2" shorter.

Yes, that is an example of "muscle memory" - muscle having returned to it preatrophied condition. Saying I was 90lbs when I was 18 and now I am 167lbs when I am 20something is not "muscle memory." It's often called passing through puberty or actually lifting weights, eating right, or both passing through puberty and the aforementioned.
