muscle memory

Steroids probably result in a lasting benefit for its users

Recently another new scientific study resulted in a lot of new articles on the world wide web. I wrote about muscle memory before (Muscle memory fact or fiction //www.napsgear.net/jm_blog_news.php?id=34 ). The way we look is due to a many different reasons. First of all being our genetic body type.

If you read the diverse articles (including mine //juicedmuscle.com/jmblog/content/whats-your-body-type ) about it you know that some body types can more easily gain muscle than others. Still everyone can become a bodybuilder.

You are born as a certain body type, mostly not as one of the main three but mostly a combination of all the body types. It is very important for the fact how you will look later in life, how young you started to train. Or how much fat mass you gained when you were young. And how much physical work you did when you were young. The human body adapts to the environmental situation. It is obvious that someone who grew up at a farm and helped working hard and heavy develops an other body then a simular type of person that grew up in the big city never to lift a finger.

Muscle Memory Fact or Fiction?

muscle memory

 

Pumping up is easier for people who have been buff before, and now scientists think they know why — muscles retain a memory of their former fitness even as they wither from lack of use.

That memory is stored as DNA-containing nuclei, which proliferate when a muscle is exercised. Contrary to previous thinking, those nuclei aren’t lost when muscles atrophy, researchers report online August  2010 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The extra nuclei form a type of muscle memory that allows the muscle to bounce back quickly when retrained.

The findings suggest that exercise early in life could help fend off frailness in the elderly, and also raise questions about how long doping athletes should be banned from competition, says study leader Kristian Gundersen, a physiologist at the University of Oslo in Norway.

Other scientist just qualify Muscle memory as a myth, pure nonsense.
