    There is something wrong then, anything you could give us to narrow it down? What's your chest work out. A lot of people do to much volume for chest it seems.

    you weren't benching 200 for all that long before you took the 3-4 week break. that's why you can't do it now
    I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

    Yes, you will get it back soon, because of muscle memory.

    That's one hell of an analysis. Of course, it's patently moronic, but the hackneyed quip of the so-called "bodybuilder" philosophy is "TO EACH HIS OWN!".

    Muscle memory is when someone who has has been training for a while suffers substantial muscular mass/strengh loss because injury or layoffs from training. When they return to training they will regain the majority of the mass/strength in a much shorter time than it first took to develop it.


    What could be happening is that the specific muscle proteins in the muscle were cannibalized by the body for energy production during non-use. The muscle, however, retains a higher than average number of nuclei that the previous exercise stress caused the body to create.
