muscle memory a myth?

[urbanlegend]

I am switching from this crappy low carb didet to keto based on how im loosing more muscle than fat, I have lost about 3 ilbs of muscle in three weeks, vs my guess is about 2 ilbs of fat. My point is, how long will it take to regrow the lost muscel once I am done dieting? a guy at my gym says about 2 weeks while others say like 2 moths....what have your experiences been, does muscle memory exist?

[/\/\etallic/-\]

yes it definatly exists...in my experiance at least. I quit lifting for like 6 months about a year ago and when I got back into training I was back to my old size level in a month or so

You'd have a hard time convincing Kevin Levrone muscle memory is a myth

hah, for 3pds of muscle...hardly. it took me 2weeks, maybe closer to 3, hard to remember, but i threw back on a lot of my weight and size quickly. i'd say 95%. then the other 5% came back in another week or two, and i took a harder hit than he's taking

thanks guys, I will only have about like 4 weeks to gain it back before Lacrosse season starts, but Im not done dieting yet, so I dont know how much more I will loose, even on my less carb restricted diet (stupid keto)

most definetly it exists but i dont know how it really works

[ja2001x]

It exists but not the way most people would think it does, for example muscle shock, excersize shock, all that is bull****. Many people will disagree but its much simpler than most think.

However it is correct that gaining weight that youve lost is very quick, some people gain 10-15lbs a couple weeks back to training after theyve lost it. Its like beginner gains all over again.

it will come back really fast, but im juz wunderin why have u only lost 2lbs of fat in 3 weeks !!!!!! when the average fat loss for pppl is 2 lb a week !!!!!!!

Cheers for the quick response, has anyone else experienced the benefits of muscle memory too?

No muscle memory is not a myth. It has happened over and over again for me. All competitive bodybuilders have experienced it also.

Great way to shock people.

Idk what this counts for but I recently got hurt squatting, my best was 135x6 and hadn't trained legs in 2-3months whatsoever, I came back and squatted 40x5, now im at 100x5 after 10 days training every other day. I think it's real
