Gain muscle mass and muscle memory

Gain muscle mass and muscle memory

There are two points of view on the issue of preservation of strength and muscle mass after complete cessation of training. One of them is extremely negative, the other positive.

Proponents of the first believe in the complete loss of all sporting achievements, after the termination of the training, "positivists" argue that even if you quit the sport, only to lose some part in mass and strength. Who is right? And anybody. Both views are wrong.

If you completely forget to exercise, you can lose all the weight and strength, but the way was before the start of training you have will not.

Almost all bodybuilders engaged in the gym more than a year are familiar with the concept of "muscle memory". You may have heard stories about guys who threw training on long enough period time, after which all were able to return in a couple of months. But still remained in positive territory. This is possible because of the "muscle memory"

Muscle memory, shows that if people started training after a long break, then it is much easier to type the previous results muscle size and strength, rather than reach these heights from scratch.

Moving. Changing jobs. Illness or injury. All this can put us in front of the need to "engage" with the training. What will happen to our bodies?

Over training your muscles and systems.

Over training - this designation that happen to us. Our body always adapts to environmental conditions, because it is our very "economical". It's like a company that has reduced its list of services. This company is not profitable to pay wages to employees who are sitting idle. They fired. The same thing happens with unused muscles and bodily functions ... he loses those which are not used now.

The fastest way we lose our stamina, then some part of the muscle. Last "leaves" force. This process is very long and develops in stages. In the first month or two there are the most significant losses of 10-30%-established results. Thereafter, the process is slowed down. Often, even a year after former athletes retain 30-50% of their training-established functions.

Moreover, the longer the subject's training experience, the minimally be a weight loss and strength. And the slower they will be and the quicker it will all come back.

When properly organized mode of training and recovery is quite possible to recover all lost for 2-3 months. Due to muscle memory. And the quickest way back muscle strength, endurance and coordination. Lost muscle volumes of returns slowly. But even slower (up to half a year) the restoring force of the nerve impulse, thanks to which we are more effective in reducing muscle.

There is one very important thing you need to know.

Pros breaks in training.

After a break in training to build muscle has access to more muscle fibers than was available initially. This is in many ways, and explains the speed with which we get back into shape. Such is the peculiarity of muscle memory and prioritization in sports.

In addition, the effect of "muscle memory" can help to close the "stagnation" caused by training. So do not be afraid to throw training. Your body - is your capital, which is always with you.
