muscle nuclei
Muscle memory is your friend if you have to take a break from strength training. It’s good to know that, thanks to what’s happening at the cellular level, it’s a little easier and faster the second time around.
Strength training gains are reversible, right? If you stop training for a while, you lose all of your gains. Not necessarily! A study suggests that some of the changes are permanent and this makes it easier for you to “regrow” and “re-strengthen” your muscles should you take a long break.
Because of muscle memory getting strength and muscle definition back won’t take as long the second time around if you have to take a break.
