Question about muscle memory. Got sick lost 25lb... hoping to put the muscle back on

[Kesslerm2015]

I got sick in late May/early June and lost 25lbs. People have told me don't worry with muscle memory you will put the weight back on in a few months and your strength will come back as well. Does anyone have a realistic timeframe or any intelligent comments on this? I'd appreciate a source if you are throwing facts at me. Appreciate your time guys

I was with the same problem but hell yeah,muscle memory,im already adding 20 pounds nench from last week and a half, i cant give you facts but this is personal experince,think about olit as your body telling the weights "oh yeah i remember you" and might take weeks for them to get use to each other




After your back to where you were then start taking supplements,like creatine etc..


Hope i helped braw

appreciate the advice man. however, i'm not going to take creatine. the only thing i've ever taken is whey protein and i don't feel like i need any supplements to get big... and as a college student i cannot afford to anyways.

yes. you will gain it back in 1-2 months trust me

100%

100%

Even though it took me 6 months to achieve those gains in the first place? Would you mind explaining to me why you believe it'll come back in 1-2 months?

Because i lost 20 pounds in 2 months to a similar reason and got it back in 1 month...maybe 5 weeks max.

Yes. Have a training partner help you with big negatives.

I'm talking HARD negatives


for example, have the fool basically do a barbell Bent over Row while your benching something you cant even bench.

then eat the negative slow and hard, to the point your screaming for like 4-6+ reps

your body will eventually get used to the load again, and will get stronger/grow.

Considering I'm going back to SS because I love the progress I made with the program... I don't really know how to incorporate negatives into that

Unless someone would recommend a different routine. However with muscle memory wouldn't it make sense to go back to the same lifts you'd been doing to get the same muscles back to the state they were in?

upper,lower,break,upper,lower,full body,break

Idk... I'd definitely like to see what those routines entail before I commit myself to one blindly. And I definitely like spending an hour or less in the gym
