Muscle memory is very real.... I had to take a year off the gym due to an injury that started causing blood cloths. I lost a lot of muscle, from about 215lbs to low 180s. I am 6'4 btw, to put in perspective how low that is for me. Within 2 months of working out again, I got back up to 205lbs. Within 4-5 months I felt as bigger and stronger as before. Its incredible how it works, because on my first workout back I felt like I was working out as a complete beginner. I felt weak, nauseated, low endurance, and in a matter of months, I was as strong as ever.
dude you are a fucking god send, concise, informative and useful. I really appreciate how you use real biology rather than bro science or experience only to explain, as someone who does biology it's nice to finally see this in the fitness YT community
I had stopped working out about two years ago. I just got back not more than a month ago, and I'm already seeing result! Of course. This video explains it.
Finally, someone gets it. Muscles don't have the capacity to remember. Only the brain does that. What the muscles do is adapt to the stress that has been put on them. I used to be able to run a 2:52 marathon and now I'm not even close. Not because they "forgot", but they no longer have the stimulus of training mileage and speed work. The guy that goes back in the weight room has muscles that still have adaptations to the previous stimuli.
This effect comes also in handy to singers (singing is also just a coordinated use of several muscles) after a longer "singing break" or also to other form of arts.
Seriously these are the best videos I have ever seen on fitness. Major kudos! You do an amazing job of both illustrating and explaining the topics so that it is easily understandable!! Thank you so much and keep them up!
Well fat cells first grow in size and then divide. So when you're gaining fat, you're also increasing the amount of fat cells. When you're losing fat the cells just shrink, but the amount of cells actually stays the same. At least that's the way I remember it. Correct me if I'm wrong.
You're absolutely right, that's what I remember as well. You need to have lost weight for a long period of time before the amount of fat cells starts falling.
It's a great video, but I really wanted to look at the source material, and was disturbed to find that most of the pubmed articles had nothing to do with it.

Are you sure that’s what it is? Another description I’ve come across is the ability of doing things without particularly thinking about doing it cause you’ve done it so many times Like shifting gears when cruising in most cases your body will do it without you consciously thinking about doing it
Muscle memory is doing something so repeatedly that you can do it without thinking, just like I can enter the cheat codes on Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Gta 3, and Gta vice city without thinking about it
I trained hard for 4 years, then stuff happened and I didnt consistently train for about 3 years and then did pretty much nothing for 3 years. Now, I've been training for about 6 weeks and its coming back sooo fast!! I am so happy I did all that work years ago XD .. I am a woman btw.
do you still require as much protein as before to regain your muscles or can you manage without. I've got fat after not training and don't want to excessively eat.

I trained for 4 years and after that I havent for about 2 because of life corona etc. I started again month ago and hope that muscle memory works after couple of years instead of months...
I've been training hard 2 months and then stopped my journey for 1 month. Now, only for 1 month i got back to my previous position that took for me 2 months. This. Is. So. True.
I'm here cuz I stopped working out a year ago. Took off to take care of my girl and my newborn. Then I couldn't go after new year and then covid hit. Just got some 100lbs adjustable dumbbells to set up my small home gym.
Got a heavy lifting job and ive started being vegetarian taking 2 oxycotin and prednisone and 5 multivitamins a day. Since I have a degree in fitness and nutrition i know how to self medicate. Prednisone cause me to lower stress and store up water and cortisone. Being vegeterian and vitamins well nutrition and testeterone. The oxycotin is for pain tolerance and dopamine.

Had been working out for half a year, broke my arm and was out for about 6 months. Now I'm back and feel just as strong, just alittle pain and less flexibility in that arm. But can still do like 50 pulls and 100 push up
So I used to be able to do an Ariel one time I was doing it on wet grass I slipped and fell on my head and tried a day later couldn’t do it and I try and try to do it a lot and my body has muscle memory of putting my hands down I can’t stop it and your not supposed to put your hands down is there a way I can fix this?!!?

or any lifters that reach a plateau i'd SERIOUSLY recommend just laying off exercise for at least 2-3 months or so. You'll lose most of your muscle mass but when you hit it again from scratch that muscle memory kicks in hard. Personally i find ive developed a leaner bigger physique once i went on that fast from working out.
Hi guys, I wanted to ask if you can make a video regarding "six pack" how do you get it? How long do I have to make a diet for? All this will be very helpful.Thanks. PS:Your videos are always great keep up the work.
How long take my muscles back to the same mass after ACL and meniscus surgery?now it’s almost no muscles in my left leg. I am 3 weeks after surgery and not sure yet when I can start rebuilding. But my question is how long it’s going to take if I finally start my workout?
Well on the bright side you get to experience doms again. Those calf doms are one of my favs. If you never worked out adductors oh man those are the worst doms I've ever felt in my life. I tried that sex machine women always do opening n closing legs at like 3am with no one around for shit m giggles and it actually fucked my life lmao
here in Australia the gyms have been closed since this whole thing started and they are exepcting to open in November... i was training 5 days a week for a year and a half how long would it take me to get back to my original shape even tho i have also gained 6kg of fat?
An explanation why calisthenics muscles last longer? From my personal experience, I had a very bad rotator cuff tear and I couldn't work the upper part for 5 months. However, my body hasn't changed a lot. My chest became less pumped and the back muscles of the injured part is the only part which had loss of muscle.
I'm 16. A week ago, at my peak, i weighed 58kg. I trained every other day (3-4 days a week). I gained quite some defenition but I got into a football accident & fractured my wrist which will take 6 weeks to recover. Seeing as though muscle memory exists, how long will it take for me to regain muscle?
is there something to do wuth the neurological system and the impulse it sends to muscle in motor skills ,and the decline in the motor skill ability?meaning:if i am really good at playing the piano so:1-if i would stop playing one day-how long does it take for the muscles to become less strong and 2-how long does it take for the neurological system to be less efficient? thanks
I was signing my name on a job application and my ADHD as brain just says "I wonder how muscle memory works" and here I am. 🤦♂️. A blessing and a curse at the same time lol
The older you get, the harder it becomes to get back in the game. Do yourselves a favor and never quit in the first place. At 16 I could run 5k on command, without training for it. At 34 it took me 3 months to complete a 5k run..
Exactly!! All that hard work we put in has torn and rebuilt the muscle fibres! That will never disappear unless we were stranded/without food for a long time having depleted fat stores then and only then will our muscle atrophy cause ur body will burn muscle as fuel 😅
I've heard guys say that the fascia has been stretched already to a certain point so it's easier for the muscle to grow back to its original size and then slows to normal???
I always thought muscle memory was the ability to do something without thinking hard about it... Like playing a song without thinking about it because you've played it so much. Is there a word for what I described?
That IS muscle memory literally. This in the video isn't muscle memory all literally. Which is why the dude in the beginning in the video said it wasn't n put quotations "muscle memory" because it's not. It's just a phrase people put in body building but it's not technically nor literally muscle memory.
always wanted to officially know of muscle mem, like after learning more of the hippocampus and thaat i got curiosoo more so of certain items in a place which is from within the hippocampus then righht?
THAT'S THE MOST MOTIVATING THING I EVER HEARD CONCERNING TRAINING.

is there such thing as a FAT memory too?
Well fat cells first grow in size and then divide. So when you're gaining fat, you're also increasing the amount of fat cells. When you're losing fat the cells just shrink, but the amount of cells actually stays the same.
At least that's the way I remember it.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
You're absolutely right, that's what I remember as well. You need to have lost weight for a long period of time before the amount of fat cells starts falling.
blackpicha yes but the amount of fat you put on if you're in a caloric surplus remains the same no matter how many fat cells you have
i laughed way too hard for this one lol
Yes, therefor it's difficult to lose weight and easy to gain it.

Had been working out for half a year, broke my arm and was out for about 6 months. Now I'm back and feel just as strong, just alittle pain and less flexibility in that arm. But can still do like 50 pulls and 100 push up
Very good and informativ!
muscle memory is useful for me
i need to becme good at tetris
So it takes 1/3 the original time to regain the same amount of muscle?
I wouldn't say it's an exact timeframe, but certainly quicker than before.
does starving the muscles of oxygen (restricted blood flow training) help develop stronger muscle memory?
Great stuff
