It does recruit satellite cells and you'll be able to have the luxury of muscle memory, but don't forget that the anabolic environment needs to be there to facilitate that growth. No steroids, no anabolism. You'll be back to your natural max again, but once you're back on the juice you'll pop right back up.
I came off for nearly two years and had catastrophic results. It was a period of mental growth as my physique diminished and I was left to pick up the pieces of my ego. But it was good in hindsight. I trained hard, got in good cardiovascular shape and held off the juice until right after my daughter was born... I actually went home after the deliver to let the dogs out and pinned a whole 3ml syringe of test, trend and NPP. I blew up and put on 20lbs of muscle and was much leaner than when I last came off and looked my best.
20lbs of that sort of quality size would take years, but I juiced for years and my muscles inflated back up. It's only leased muscle. No anabolics, no size. It's as simple as that. This is why I don't advocate abusing or rushing things. It'll come with time as long as you're consistent and determined. If you have setbacks, don't load up another syringe lol. Just wait it out and train hard and consistently.
