Muscle Memory: How Long To Rebuild Muscle After Taking Time Off

CHAPTERS BELOW: Fun experiment to see how long it takes me to work back up to serious weight on my best lift (which I stopped doing for years). Muscle memory is always a term I've heard tossed around but have never had a chance to truly put it to the test. After working up to a 485 pound squat after graduating college, I realized that no one cares about my squat weight except myself and it was tough on the joints, took forever to set up, and made me so sore - so I stopped. But I couldn't stay away forever, it came calling my name and I caved in so decided to make a video on it so I'm not doing it for nothing. --- Chapters: 0:00 Intro 0:55 Squat Max Baseline Test 1:38 Workout 1 2:03 Embarrassing (Please Skip) 2:26 Workout 2 3:00 Workout 3 3:34 Workout 4 3:53 Intro to Repping Previous Max 4:14 Repping My Baseline Max 4:53 Outro
