Wenn ihr schon mehr gejagt habt, wenn ihr größere Muskeln habt, kommen sie zurück zu ihrer alten Größe. Wenn es dauerte, wenn ihr für acht Monate geübt habt, habt ihr einen größeren Bicep und habt für drei Monate geübt. Und es sieht ungefähr so aus, als wenn ihr begonnen hättet. Wenn du wirklich vorsichtig bist, wird es ein bisschen größer, aber wirklich ist es nur zurück zu square one.

Die meisten Leute denken, oh mein Gott. Noch acht Monate, um wieder da zu sein, wo ich angefangen habe. Vergiss das Gym. Die Wahrheit ist, dass nach ungefähr einem Monat, vielleicht so wenig wie drei Wochen, du die gleiche Größe Biceps hast, die du in deinem Peak hattest.

Weil der Grad, zu dem dein Tissue wächst, wenn es schon eine bestimmte Größe war, besonders wenn es deutlich größer war als normal, und du hattest das für ein paar Monate und ein paar Jahre, es kommt zurück. in einer Art und Weise, die so schnell ist, wenn du es selbst erfährst, ist es so, dass du nicht glaubst, dass es dir passiert.

Oh yeah, all the time. Retraining studies, detraining, retraining. Oh yeah, they've done studies where they purposefully lift for a while and they stop lifting for a long time and they see how long it takes to get back.

There's one study I'm familiar with offhand that there's a group of people that trained consistently for multiple weeks and there's another group of people that trained consistently for a few weeks and then took two weeks completely off in the middle and then just started retraining again for a few weeks later. Both groups had identically sized differences in muscle at the end of the study.

Both groups had identically sized differences in muscle at the end of the study.

And so we were like, okay, so that group that trained consistently never took two weeks off. Could we say that they purposefully dunked two weeks of their time away for nothing? Uh-huh. Yeah, your body goes right back into regaining old lost muscle so rapidly that this is such great news. Because look, let's say you lifted consistently most of the year. Holiday season comes up, winter holidays.

You're not going to the gym as much, maybe not at all. Three weeks later of no gym, you look at yourself, you look a little smaller, kind of deflated, and you're like, oh my God, I'm going to have to restart all this from scratch. Nope. Two weeks later, you're in the best shape of your life again.

If you left the gym for six months, one or two months later, you're in the best shape of your life again. That's how rapidly it comes back. So it's really good news for anyone who hasn't been in the gym and is feeling guilty about it. Go back, get consistent again. You're just going to skyrocket.

Thanks for having me, guys. Sorry I couldn't make it in person.

Great question. It's actually difficult to understate muscle. sorry, it's difficult to overstate the effect of muscle memory. It is an incredibly powerful effect. So if you have trained, especially the longer you've trained, the more of a thing this is.
