Introduction

Matt_taylorfit's weight gain journey on reddit has inspired many around the world. In just 2 months, he gained 15 pounds, going from 172lbs to 187lbs. But how did he do it? The secret lies in muscle memory. By reviving past workout routines, Matt_taylorfit was able to trigger his body's muscle memory.

What is muscle memory?

Muscle memory is a term used to describe the ability of the body to quickly regain strength and mass after a period of detraining. This happens because your muscles have already formed a blueprint of what they need to do, so when you start working out again, it's much easier for them to build upon that blueprint rather than starting from scratch.

Matt_taylorfit's Strategy

Matt_taylorfit was already in good shape before his 2-month journey. He had previously worked out and built a foundation of muscle mass, which he then reinvigorated by re-starting his workout routine. He also increased his caloric intake by about 500-1000 calories per day so his body had the necessary building blocks to put on more muscle mass. His routine included weight lifting, compound movements, and cardio.

Tips for Trying It Yourself

If you're interested in using muscle memory to help you gain muscle mass, the first step is to build a foundation of muscle mass. This can be accomplished by consistent weight lifting and strength training. After reaching a certain level of muscle growth, take a break from your workout routine for a week or two, then resume your workout with the same exercises, targeting the same muscle groups. Increase your caloric intake to provide your body with the necessary nutrients to build more muscle. Be consistent and patient with your progress!

Conclusion

Matt_taylorfit's weight gain journey is a testament to the power of muscle memory. By re-starting his workout routine and increasing his caloric intake, he was able to gain 15 pounds in just two months. If you're interested in trying this yourself, remember to build a foundation of muscle mass and take breaks from your workout routine to allow your body to recover and recharge its muscle memory. And most importantly, be consistent and patient with your progress!
