so i'm 18 now.. just graduated.. started workin out again in late july.. so been a lil over a month.. i worked about before all through sophmore year (16).. had a max of 275 on bench... i was 6' and 205

2 years off resulted in a frustratin "come-back".. not being able to do my old weight sucked.. but hey, now i'm up to reppin 195 in bench.. total increase of about 60 in a month and change.. how did i do that? i expected results more gradually

First off I would like to say welcome to IM!! But I am just carious as to why you felt the need to introduce yourself as a "new asian guy"? I didn't and never have felt the need to introduce myself as the "new white/caucasian guy". Just find it odd, plus I do not see it should matter.

A generic statement like that can never be true for everyone. I lost around 45 pounds on my bench with a 6 week layoff and a LOT of mass, more mass than strength. I felt really soft and my traps shrunk down to near nothing, everybody is going to be different...

^ok thx.. guess i have good genetics.. too bad i'm a lil chubby (on the other hand, maybe that's a benefit).. i also did a lil research on muscle memory so i know what you all are talkin about.. it's pretty cool.. thank god for it
