Will protein assist muscle memory?

[Quridiaha]

I know about muscle memory, and that it makes gaining back your past physique much easier. What I am wondering about, is if whey protein could make this even easier, or it will not make a difference?

If your diet is on point, it will make no difference. Remember, you do get protein from the foods you eat, and whey protein is just a supplement that is meant to fill in the gaps in your diet – no more, no less. So use it accordingly.

the way to build muscle memory is putting in the hours in the gym. someone who starts lifting at 40 is going to struggle more than someone who has been lifting since they were 13, even if both took a year off

anyone who wants to argue this i point to pro athletes who blow out knees and a year later are back playing at high levels.

Whether it's a little more protein from food or from whey and the like then yes a little more protein will speed up regaining old and lose muscle
