Hi Everyone !

I just completed my sixth 'serious' workout back after ~12 years off. I've been doing a twice weekly whole-body routine comprising of compound exercises at the moment.

I stood on the scales last night and couldn't believe it ! (So I got off and on again a few times to make sure):

BW six workouts ago: 63.4 Kg

BW Last Night: 67.5 Kg

I can already see the positive changes in my bod !

Is muscle memory over this kind of time span real ? (if its real at all ?

) only seen anecdotal evidence for this.

I'm def doing something right !

Muscle memory or not, who cares.

You've put the work IN, and now its workING.

Nice going, dude! Keep it up

Thanks for the words of encouragement guys

I'm kind of dumbstruck at my rate of gain - like an almost too good to be true feeling - thats why I was curious about 'muscle memory'.

BTW what do you guys think about utilising static holds ? are they truly as effective as I have been reading ? I was thinking about trying them out as a substitute to training to momentary muscular failure when I am doing a HIT session (I'm cycling the intensity of my workouts at present). Anybody had positive experience with this type of training ?
