I stopped training/dieting for a whole year. Sucks bigtime................B UT................MUSCLE MEMORY is a BEAUTIFUL thing. Lost pretty much ALL my strength/size, BUT again, Muscle Memory is definately REAL. After a few weeks, my strength was still waaaaay down BUT my size,definition were coming back pretty fast. Look at Levrone, he stopped training for what? 4 or 5 years?? After a few months of being back into training, he was building good size/definition. Yes steroids play a part........BUT in Levrone case, GENETICS play a HUGE part. He just NATURALLY has the genetics for bodybuilding, along with many others......
