Personally, I've always felt muscle memory would be better described as "CNS" memory.
After 10 years off, I'm sure some things will come by instinct, but I would still ease into it.

Not really. It's more of your muscles relearning how to respond to stimuli and and your mind utilizing those pathways. Again, just a personal observation on my part.
Now after initiating productive training, then the answer to your question would be yes. Again, that's also just my opinion.

Life is funny. I haven't cared one bit about setting foot in a gym over the years and all of a sudden I've developed an intense need to become better than I was before.
Muscle memory has always been something that would be mentioned, but I never really put much thought into it when I was younger.

Shoot don't fight the urge! Just ease into and don't overdo it. You don't want to do anything to discourage that urge. You'll be surprised at the changes you'll make.

Oh I'm definitely easing into it. So much so, that I've been mapping it out on paper before I get after it. Im having to take a whole new approach to lifting since my shoulder ain't in good shape and I'm waiting to get a full hip replacement. Getting stronger used to be my main focus and how I looked was the byproduct. I've changed my mindset to growth and letting the strength come with the size. That's where my curiosity about muscle memory and what it could affect more came from. Used to be dead set on getting back to knowing there was a visible bend in the bar lol. Not a priority anymore.

You were speaking of rows earlier and your hip replacement. Can you do Meadows rows or does that cause an issue?
