time off from the bodybuilding lifestyle

[bigmouth2006]

what up guys i was just wondering if there was anyone here that has taken a year or more off from bodybuilding period i mean no juice,no lifting,no diet?
i was just wondering results from muscle memory because i have been off for 21 months and i was curious if gains are going to come easier than when i started seven years ago

ps. you can make babies when you are juicing nuts or no nuts

~2 years... zero diet, zero lifting... came back with 15-20lbs muscle!

Once you get back in the groove you'll be good, depending on how much time you have to devote to the lifestyle again depends on how long it'll take for you to get back into "shape."

I belive alot of people have female babies when on AAS, no clue if they're are studies on it...but that's what I recall seeing.

Had about a year off whilst getting over a drug addiction, came back with a vengeance tho, biggest ive ever been now, not quite as strong as i was, but thatll come, good luck bro.

If you take 3 month off training, they say within 3 months you should be near enough back on track where you were at.

that's what i figured it won't take that long to get ths size back but the strenght gains i had were through years of hard training it might take a while

ps yes i had a beautiful baby girl

My avatar and public profile picture is me after 5 years off @ 5' 10 " 242lbs and by off i mean off !! no gym no roids no nothin to do with training or diet , just kickin back and enjoying my 2 kids who are now 7 and 9 , now they need less of my time so i can make an honest return to training .

I did'nt loose anything but definition and a bit of hardness ... plus i never gained a ton of fat either

If I can make a suggestion. Don't look back look forward. It doesn't matter what you used to do, today is today and now is what's important. This is even more true as you age. It's a lot harder at fifty then at twenty but it doesn't mean you shouldn't train because it's hard.

Be here now.

It's like ridding a bike. One of those things you never forget how to do.

Pretty much same situation, except I took about 4 years off from doing ANYTHING. Ive been back in the gym now hardcore for 5 months, and ive made crazy gains. I was down to almost 180 pounds... I was 214 this mornin
