Muscle Memory

How Does Muscle Memory Work?

The muscle has no memory, only the brain has memory. After learning how to train, the brain works out the optimum way to send electrical messages in order to ensure the most efficient usage of fast and intermediate muscle fibres, and the most efficient way to make a muscle contract. After a lay off, say a year, many people find that they get back into their training quite quickly. This because after a couple of weeks back at the gym the brain remembers the most efficient way to make use of fast and intermediate muscle fibres, and the most efficient way to make a muscle contract. This is why after such a lay off gains can made very quickly.

In addition, if you stop running or going to the gym you will find going back to things easier than if you were to just start out because you will remember everything you did before and so will be ready for what is to come and know how hard to push yourself so that you don't over do it. This will include:

* Knowing what to eat and when to eat it.

* Knowing the supplements you need.

* Knowing where you prefer to train.

* Knowing the top weight training exercises or cardio you like the most.

* Knowing the best equipment or clothing to suit your own needs.

When you start from scratch it is all unknown stuff and so you are bound to make mistakes and it will take you a long time to get to know your body and really get your teeth into things. Nutrition, hydration, exercise choice and everything else above will all be new to you and so it will all take time to come together.

In addition, when you go back to something you soon realise how much you've missed it and you soon get back that buzz. This makes altering your lifestyle a lot easier.
