I'm coming off a good 6 month lay off will it take the same amount of time to improve as before? My experience has always been that coming back is much faster than initial building. I won't quite numbers, but it won't take you 6 months to get back where you once were. My theory on that is that you have the underlying structure in place, you just need to get the enzyme systems, etc. back up to par. -Kirk The structures change back to the way they were when you were not training, but the 6 mo. lay off may not be enough time for them to change all the way back to where you started. This is most likely why it's easier to get back into it than it was to being from scratch. Changes at the muscle level due to exercise follow the same pattern of slowly changing (enzymes, # of mitocondria etc... ) Edited by crazyquick23 2010-03-05 3:44 PM
