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.

But if you've trained for years, especially, and you've gotten to a certain level of muscularity, and you've been at that level for a while, when you don't train for however long and you lose however much muscle, what ends up happening is when you got much bigger and you increase the size of all of your muscle cells.

But if you get much bigger than a moderate amount, you end up during the course of your gain in size, incorporating satellite cells into your muscle cells. These satellite cells are basically just cell nuclei that kind of like come into the regular cell and they help grow muscle, maintain muscle and control all the functions of a muscle cell. It's kind of like,

It's kind of like,

If New York City, if Manhattan only had one fire department and one police station and one hospital for all five boroughs, it would be ridiculous and all the boroughs would burn down and everyone would die and the police would never get there because it's just one nucleus for a huge area. Your cells work in much the same way.

Your cells work in much the same way.

And so just like if a town or a city grows, it gets multiple precincts and multiple hospitals and multiple fire departments. As your muscle cells grow, the satellite cells incorporate into them and give them these multiple nuclei. The thing is, once you have a lot of nuclei in a muscle cell, once that cell shrinks down, the nuclei don't delete out. They just stay there.

And so when you start training again, you have multiples the power to manufacture muscle protein because the nucleus is what does a huge degree of the manufacturing and all the ultra structures around it. And so now you essentially have the equivalent of like ridiculous genetics when you're coming back. And so when you're coming back to regain that muscle, It happens unbelievably quickly.

And if you've ever experienced this yourself, you're like kind of in awe. You're like, what the hell? So I honestly anticipate that worst case scenario, after about six weeks of training again from taking six weeks off, I expect to be about as muscular as I've ever been. And it's probably pessimistic because probably after about four weeks, I should be very close to my best ever.
