Are there any studies that have showed muscle memory to be real? l de trained guy's gaining muscle at a much faster rate than normal? i know lots of people anecdotally report this but just wondering if there are actually any studies?
Good question that I don't recall being asked in the last couple of years (although perhaps it has been in other sections... I wouldn't have thought to ask this in the nutrition section). Here's a classic study indicating a mechanism for it. http://www.pnas.org/content/107/34/15111.short
