After speaking to a workmate about muscle memory and gains brought on by gear I thought I'd run it by the forum just to see how accurate it was.
Basically my workmate claims that any gain in muscle strength or size that is kept after a cycle will NOT come back if (for example), you got sick or didn't train and lost size because of it. So once you lose it it's lost forever until you naturally get back to that muscle size/strength.
So say I was 90kg went on a cycle and gained 5kg of pure muscle after the cycle. Then after a few months I was hit by a car and couldn't train for a few months. My weight drops down to 80kg. His theory is that I can get back to 85kg because thats how much muscle I had prior to my cycle but that extra 5kg I gained will never come back until I naturally gain that muscle because its "different" to AAS gained muscle. I.e "gear muscle" is hard to maintain.
Is this true or is my workmate pulling my leg. He's a PT but I have my doubts about alot of things he says.
