How far will my muscle memory go?

[KyIIidon4ik]

I have cycled a year ago, and before that I was alsoin quite a good shape. Obviously, after that I got into a much bettershape. Unfortunately, I had to stop the training for quite a while,and lost my shape. Now I am getting back into the training, andmuscle memory is a great help in this challenge. The question is –will the muscle memory reach only until the point where I wasnaturally before the cycle, or I will have a relatively easy timereaching my peak form that I got on juice?

Even those muscles gained with steroids are still your muscles - they are not different to the naturally gained muscles. However, for the peak form you still need to be on juice, and during PCT some of the mass gets lost. So you will get the mass you had after your PCT.

explain how an athlete tears their ACL and then re-habs and comes back the next year and has a great season.

yes muscle and body memory are very real.

For me, once I reach a certain level of mass or conditioning it's always a lot easier to get back to it the 2nd time around. If that's what you mean by muscle memory...

muscle memory is your connection between your neurons and nuclei in the muscles, the paths will be lost a bit its detraining, when you start again, you are building those paths again, thats why first you can take strenght with a new exercice, because your brain is learning to use it with your muscle, and when you stop taking strenght that dosent mean that you reached a plateau....you just starting building muscle because you reached your full neuronal nuclei path....when you reach the plateau your sending the message to your muscles that now they have to grow, thats why you can squat everyday and taking a lot of strenght because you learning it,

You will be able to progress quickly due to muscle memory. We see this all the time when guys are off for years and then get back into fitness.
