Been sick for 2 weeks now, losing some muscle density and mass. How long does muscle memory kick in?

You really could not have lost that much...but, at most a month, I'd think.

thanks repped
I don't think it would take a whole month, for me after being sick i'm back to normal in just a few days. I haven't been sick for about 3 years now. No shots, no medicine or anything.

2 weeks after not lifting combined with being ill could lead to some pretty bad muscle fatigue. Maybe not much actual muscle lost, unless you have a ridiculous flu and aren't eating. Though, I said a month at the most. When I was sick once for a few weeks, it took about a month to get back where I was, but I did ease back into it.
Ive experienced a lot of week long flus and mono, basically first week back is weaker but after that you should be firing at full power

Lucky you. I got mono last year and lost like 15 pounds. It was really bad.

yeah it sucks, but for me it was mostly water weight and glycogen. After I refueled I was almost back to normal. But I hear where your coming from
I was in a car wreck and have a fracture in my ulna and my upper arm in my left arm has like lost a lot of size....I also damaged many ligaments in my knee.

That sucks. You'll have to pretty much start over when you heal.
thanks guys, motivates me to get back working my ass off
you are going to be just fine...... I have fallen ill quite recently , have been out of training for2 weeks and in a few days after starting out I could restore the physique.....
yeah dude I was out for 6 weeks mono and an infection in my spleen.
i felt weaker but itll take a few weeks to regain.
you should be fine after two weeks.
my brother got mono last spring and lost about 10 pounds, but he actually only lost about 5 pounds of muscle and about 5 pounds of fat (Or so he says), cuz he had put on soem fat away during his first year of college. But it took him about 2 1/2 weeks to get over mono and about 3-4 weeks to regain but those 10 pounds he lost, but he looked noticeably more cut after regainign the those 10 pounds.
