Do they remember all the video games? Will they retain those mad Elden Ring skillz?

My muscles are fine, it's the fat cells that need to forget.

Yeah! I can feel it!!
Anecdotally I've always heard this and experienced it myself, interesting to see it's backed by evidence!
Same! I used to just explain this to others I was trying to get into working out or into an activity or something. I just assumed it had to be real from experience. Nice to see it scienced!
Definitely! I feel like this was fairly common knowledge even a decade ago and why people would quickly rebound back to previous size and strength when returning to fitness- muscle memory due to myonuclei persisting even when the actual tissue atrophies. I guess this is an additional state of memory for the body. Super neat!
Jokes on them they can't remember what they didn't have
My muscles: "I remember nothing"
My app shows the image as "failed to load" and I'm now a little curious if that is funnier than whatever you actually put there.
It's not supposed to be an image, it's supposed to be a link? Weird. But I also like that it shows failed to load, that works too! I am so used to putting image links I accidentally made it an image link first before I made it a normal link, maybe the edit hasn't propagated to your instance yet.
This isn't new at all, even the cell nucleus number multiplies
that's actually really uplifting to know, thank you for posting this. :)
Its uplifting if you were previously a college athlete who let themselves go, but has the potential to bounce back quickly.
Depressing for someone like me who took up sport and fitness later in life and doesnt have that athletic foundation to build on.
But i guess it also applies to short term injury recovery, so thats good news
That's kinda cool to hear! Not that it's been terribly long so it might not even affect me, but I finally got myself into the habit of working out doing simple body weight exercises for over a year and then I either tore something or got tendonitis in my elbow at work and had to stop for like 4 months now... Glad to know I won't be losing as much as I thought if I have to say off the arm for much longer.
I've had that same injury, from BWF/kettlebell workouts. Its a bastard. Generally called "golf elbow" if on the inside and "tennis elbow" if on the outside.
I found these bendy bars really help rehab it if you do the recommend excersize. I use one of these gyroscopic resistance balls now as well in my current routine to strength the wrist/forearm/elbow and haven't had a relapse.
Thanks for the tips! It's on the inside so I guess it's golf elbow lol
Shit, they must be very disappointed with me...
How can they remember something that never happened? 🤔
