If you got really big and then quit lifting, would you lose literally all your gains?

[Deleted member 4310]

Obviously you'd lose almost all gains but would your baseline look better than if you never lifted at all?

Yes

 

[Carbon Copy]

Yes, but you would regain it very fast. Happened to me. Had to stop lifting for a year because of an injury. Took me just half a year to regain all the size from the previous 3 years

Why would you quit lifting all together and not just workout to maintain your physique?

 

[Baldingman1998]

depends usually you lose 50-70% but the muscle kinda shrinks but keeps it's shape. So a couple of months and you should be the same. Also eating at maintenance with high protein etc will make you lose muscle alot slower than drinking alcohol and having a shit diet

Yes, barely. However if you'd continue lifting, it'd take literally month or two to get your old gains back due to muscle memory.

Just wondering because it would suck if you invested countless of hours to get a nice body and then you get sick/injured or whatever and can't lift for a while so you lose it all and have to start from square one.

does this mean connor murphy will get nearly as big after his fast? also how does it work from roids? If david laid stopped roids and then kept working out as hard would he still lose gains?

Curious about this as well, might start roiding because I hate the whole "gym lifestyle" and don't want to spend all my free time in the gym just to look slightly better than non lifters

that's good to know

It's a lot more difficult to gain and lose muscle than people think

All natty lifters I know don't look like they lift unless they're shirtless

David Laid is not unnaturally big. It's just that he's so lean and also powerful. But generally roider would lose size, but still be able to keep impressive amount of muscle, probably a bit more than his natural max would've been.

I see, so he could attain similar mass, but cannot maintain low bf without roids. ty

if you cleaned your room spotless and never touched it in a year would there be dust?

Once the muscle cell has been expanded, it will be more easily expanded again. But the same logic applies to fat cells. Once you were fat you can be fat again more easily.
