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. Lol
