Howdy,
Has been almost 2 years that I wasnt training, before that I have trained 7 years uninterrupted(sickness was the only exception). But the pandemic hit, and we all know the story. I lost a lot of weight and muscle, almost 28lbs. Now I came back to train, I still dont feel safe to train at the gym, but I am finishing my home gym.
I have been pushing my diet to the limit, last 2 months I added more or less 9 lbs, the first 5 pounds was almost all lean mass, but the next following 4 lbs was mixed, more like 60 fat, 40 lean mass. I was skepical about the magic of muscle memory, it has been almost 2 years is too much to muscle remember the good old days LUL. And I am pretty sure now it was just noob gains now, and I have to balance out my diet again without push the limits, am I right?
