When You Stop Gym for 3 Months...

Well, stopping training and being immobile due to injuries can be pretty different. If you continue to move around with even small amounts of intensity you are sure to take longer until muscle breakdown. Diet most likely plays a large role as well, if you keep hitting your macros that should extend the time you have.

[@lorcha1237]

well he said he wasn't dieting though

[@NoGoatsNoGlory.]

​@@lorcha1237that only means he wasn't focused on the best foods for muscle gain.

[@bromomento6998]

I got a shoulder injury and haven't trained for 3 weeks, it sucks man. I can't wait to get back into the gym.

[@walter7454]

Literally the same thing happened to me, it got so annoying that I took 2-3 weeks of the gym and learned a good lesson. Form and slow tempo is always more important than weight if you can let go of your ego. Also I don't flat bench anymore

[@Chrisket]

@@walter7454yup, same here. Gut injured back in June and I've only been incline dumbbell benching. Feels way better

[@PatronusHelice]

I broke my hand early this year and did research on how to keep my muscles and heal better and faster and so on... Three things 1. keep on hitting your 1g per lbs bodyweight protein intake 2. stay active, makes you heal faster and 3. you can train one sided, also keeps the other side from muscle loss

[@RHLW]

Legs legs legs.

[@BBBerti]

​@@PatronusHelicewhat do you mean by training one sided? Doing unilateral work or literally just training one side? If so I'd say definitely don't do that, muscle imbalance might lead to more injuries later down to line

[@maubraymzoma6616]

He won the generics lottery

[@AL-ij2ki]

No. If you have a good base it‘ll he kept.

[@Legion343]

Don't let that be the reason you don't try.

[@_good_for.]

Some people have money for diet and protein

[@Wassup990udueuej]

Not really

[@xardup]

not for the face my bro.

[@classicjones1484]

Lifestyle plays a massive impact in this. For a fact if he was bedridden with injury he wpuld have atrophied. 3 months of no training can mean very different things depending on your lifestyle

[@kingofthorns203]

As the Good Book says, fall seven times, get up eight. Thank you, Arcdelio, for helping us keep things in perspective.

[@mattnardo]

Insane genetics

[@niklash5088]

As german KZbinr Tim Gabel explained in one of his videos- you can maintain a significant amount of muscle just by doing ~20% of workload. This guy suffered from a very bad back - issue and still maintained a pretty nice physique by that.

[@ganifraterdogan1062]

Can you explain what you mean by the 20%? 20% of the weight? Reps? Sets?

[@DJ_WAHTZ]

@@ganifraterdogan1062I’m guessing volume 🤔

[@obievergreen3771]

If you weren't quite as blessed as this guy, which has certainly been my experience, try training for performance before you train for looks.

[@martinstuvland8620]

Muscle gain and retention is way stronger than muscle atrophy. Especially when you combine it with consistent training over time.

[@heavymetal1ization]

Yeah don't get too down if you fall off of training for a bit. I barely trained for 2 months with a shit diet and fully recovered after 2 weeks of training. Needless to say, the best thing to do is to always be consistent, but life happens. If you run into an obstacle, just pick yourself back up and resume where you left off. It isn't the end of the world

[@GutsgyattEnjoyer]

I love Norwegian accents. Veldig vennlig og uskyldig.

[@joemcmanus9]

It happened to me this summer, i started working as a waiter and stopped working out from may to september due to 12-15 hours shifts. I lost 7 kg of muscle and people told me i looked skinny. Since then ive been training again and i feel better than ever

[@agx8447]

Generally getting sick will be worse than getting injured because you have less energy and are more sedentary while sick. Injuries typically just restrict movements around the location of the injury, therefore not preventing you from moving even if it just means walking to work or school. And if you just stop the gym but don’t stop moving it’ll take a while before any noticeable change sets in

[@basisOn123]

people are diffrent, but one thing is always certain. tren sandwiches are always useful

[@JamesPlaysPaperIO]

He probably continued to take his daily macros during the 3 months he quit the sport.

[@fiestahimself9135]

Exactly , if it wasnt the case it would be much worse than that

[@throbbingwiener6218]

"3 months off" Background is literally the gym

[@Turboy65]

I gained most of my muscle mass naturally just by my daily activities BEFORE I started training in the gym almost three years ago. Since then I've gained SOME muscle mass, enough to visibly see the difference, but most of it was already there. Just covered in a bit of a fat layer. If I stopped training, I expect that I would retain my mass pretty well since it doesn't come from any creative chemistry.

[@karazakiakuno4645]

Now that is true "You have got genetics"

[@not-thinking-about-cheating]

He could mean that he only stopped lifting and still did other sports or that he was very active doing maybe manual labour

[@kingofthorns203]

Exactly. Almost like there's more than meets the eye in an Instagram story or whatever (I'm being silly and sarcastic, not shady). He also might not drink alcohol or soda, eat sugar or processed food at all, etc.

[@sarthaksharma2880]

dont let injuries defeat you brahs,go there even its an unbearable pain,you will heal faster and feel BETTER too

[@Bguild192]

Training hard while having an injury (especially if the pain is unbreathable) will just weaken the body, Jaxblade has made multiple videos on how continually training after breaking his shoulder and trying to ignore the pain only worsen and weaken his body instead of healing, don't let ego take over yall

[@sarthaksharma2880]

@@Bguild192 no,training increase blood circulation to injured site that helps to heal faster,dont let those roided and juiced guys (having their joints permanently destroyed by over use of roids) fool yall

[@bipulmishra3528]

If u continue to maintain your diet and keep yourself physically active, u will be able to retain it

[@lorcha1237]

I really could not tell without looking very closely which clips he hadn't been training for

[@TheUpcomingPayday]

You don’t necessarily lose size unless your eating right and hitting you food goals.

[@dnattilio]

I mean he say that he stop training and dieting but I don’t think he actually do. To have a physic shredded like this you have to diet, if you eat whatever you want you get fat and if you eat not enough your metabolism “eat your muscles”

[@brandonmireles3249]

Still looks great

[@lebong4606]

stop training but still taking hrt. makes sense

[@larryvilla6869]

Without any noticeable change? He was 2x as small as he was before. He just maintained definition because I guarantee naturally he doesn’t eat Alot of calories and has a good metabolism

[@Bompaka]

your body gonna stay the same if you train right, i stopped many times for many reasons and the only thing that changed is my strength because im weak

[@alejandropergiezaamaya9763]

It is known as a post cicle

[@anothergymkid9242]

if you built quality muscle you wont just lose it fast

[@vogelfaenger6830]

I think it also depends what you do apart from training. If you are for example a mover or in construction or have to climb much you will stay in shape much easier. also I think he is lying.

[@nitroputin5790]

I stopped training 2years ago and i have not seen a major decline in my physique, added a percent ot two in body fat (to around 10%) and still sport a sixpack Granted sounds like bragging but i just wanted to say that even if you stop training as hard and eat acordingly you shouldnt just lose all progress in 2 months

[@AN-rz7bs]

Yeah, and there's me who loses progress in 1 week of flu. All those KZbin videos motivated me to go to the gym, I thought I would be strong and handsome, well 1 year later I'm still weak (I can barely do 10 pullups and my max bench is only 55kg) and I look the same, the only slight difference being my arms (i look similar to this dude 0:09), but other than that I still look like I haven't touched a dumbbell in my life. Am I doing something wrong? Or it is REALY THAT HARD and takes more than 1 year to look like those people you see on social media?

[@oussamabr5851]

Don't sweat it man, just keep going. I've been training for 9 months and haven't made visible progress yet, and I couldn't be bothered about it. I'm continually learning, and fixing stuff one step at a time. What I'm sure of is, in a couple more years, I will love my past self for not giving up.

[@gyrozeppeli7296]

You should be getting a lot stronger in your early years of training, make sure you are getting enough sleep and eating in a surplus, while trying to add a rep or some weight every session

[@jesmey4902]

Check your protein intake and increase it. Next to eating healthy all over and enough, sleep enough, no alcohol and rest between training.

[@TrenchyMan]

It depends on many different factors. Genetics are important that's for sure some guys can gain muscle way easily, but it doesn't mean even with bad genetics you can't become a unit. You just need to be smart and consistent at what you doing. First I wanna ask a few things. What's your weight, height, and age? Did you gain any weight after 1 year of working out? About not gaining muscle there is probably 2 reasons for that. First not eating enough and not taking enough protein. Second not doing progressively overload while training. Doing high-reps low weight training barely would result in any muscle growth and the growth you would get this way would probably be shifted to sarcoplasmic growth (other stuff in muscle cells that doesn't do the contraction, basically anything other than muscle fibers). Also not eating would directly kill your gains and progress. If you wanna grow eat period. If you eat no matter what you will grow. You should gain weight regardless. If you can't gain muscle you gain fat but you will %100 gain weight. If you can't gain weight it means you are not eating enough. At least eat your (maintenance + 100-200) calories. Your body will adapt to the calories you eat. So you would not gain any significant fat that way. Also, eat at least about 100 g of proteins. Even on off days, it doesn't matter. Ideally, eat about 1g of protein for 1 pound of body weight. This might be too much for a fat guy like 300 pounds but for you, it would just be fine. If you wanna crack up the gains then you can do a bulk but I don't recommend doing a dirty bulk. Go clean if you are having a hard time eating that much healthy food then try to eat more calorie-dense foods that contain fat like nuts, hazelnuts, olive oil, high-fat meat, cheese, full-fat milk... so on. Lastly, if you overtrain (especially with high-volume reps) it would prevent you from becoming muscular. Your body needs to recover first from the damage you are doing to your muscles BEFORE growing. So If you damage your muscles and don't let them rest your body won't have a chance to grow ever. You would be just recovering from the damage you did to your muscle tissues all the time, and not gain more muscle size. And on top of that, if you don't eat enough, all the protein and calories will barely be enough to recover from muscle damage and not enough to grow. That's why fat people can gain muscle way more easily compared to skinny guys. They have barely unlimited calories for anything and everything. The concept of not having enough calories for building muscle after preparing it doesn't exist for them. They only need to lift heavier weights, take some protein, and rest that's it.
