It should be quicker than normal if there is any truth to muscle memory. I beleive there is.

I once heard that for every day you miss it takes 2 days to recover. Now I seriously doubt there's any truth to this. It won't take you very long, just be patient with yourself....oh yeah welcome back!

thanks , its just been hard being so lazy and watching my body transform and shrink, my doc's finally ok'd me to go back to the gym, thanks god!! its just when i look at myself, im 1/2 the size i use to be, very depressing, i know i may be too anxious, but i want to go back to the same size i use to be, im thinking of high reps and more intensity becuz i need to get cut up again and lose some fat, what you guys think, thanks for all the motivation and help!

Watch the diet and hit the cardio, you will be able to cut and get bigger with the right diet and muscle memory working in your favor. Plus your muscles haven't gotten used in a while so they will grow with anything.
