You will, regain it at 4x the speed you originally got it.

If no muscle mass was gained during your first months, then lost, you will regain it at 50% the rate you originally did

hold fast, do you think that everyone who lifts doesnt get injured or sick?

they stick right to it

You'll get through it, the key is rehydrating till the point where your piss is white and eating to regain the bodyweight

I threw out half a cantaloupe I accidentally left sitting out for 4 hours this afternoon. It was painful but getting sick isn't worth it.

Wash your hands and keep your room/kitchen clean.

A week and a half???

I can stop completely and have no noticeable reduction until about three to.four.months.

I took off a week and a half a few times before, and I always came back slightly stronger than when I left. You must have been eating like a retard, or you're still sick and can't give it your all.

>>40544824
You wont lose it over a week, you're just losing the pump and seen as you've only been lifting for a month that is all you have.

Twice ive gone travelling for ~2 months and lose some but am back to my usual weights about 3 weeks in. Hell i even got crohns and lost 24kg of lean muscle over a year and got back within 6 months of being healthy.

>>40544824

>stopping for a week and eating properly

yeah, totally the same brahs

>>40546007
As said i had crohns for a year undiagnosed, i was so malnourished i began to twitch, had constant tinnitus and blurry vision, lost 24kg of muscle and couldnt walk to the end of my street without rests.

I still put it almost all back on in half a year, with arthritis chucked in now. A week of illness will do fuck all

I bet your close friend was so proud of you when you quit, he never would've wanted you to start smoking again in case he died. Quit!

That's because you're a DYEL.

I've had like four times that I've decided to ramp up cardio, done one long jog and gotten sick the next day.

I'm seriously wondering if something about this just fucks the immune system.

Ive injured myself skiiing, havent lifted in over a month. Havent lost any gains yet. Same when went home over Christmas and didnt workout for around 5 weeks.
If I eat enough and get my required protein, I hardly lose any gains whatsoever. It still sucks but its weird that you notice it after 2 weeks already

>>40544824
>>get flu for a week and half
It takes 2 weeks for muscle atrophy to start, and months after that to actually lose all your muscles

So no, you lost literally nothing except that which you never had which was brain cells. Dumbass fucking /pol/ poster.

>>40546562
Its not that simple
If i stop now i'll become angry and agitated and will only lash out at the people trying to be there for me. I am going to cut down as time goes on but at the moment its all to difficult

>Be me
>Go to for a few months

>>40544849
Are you me?

Had a bad flu in Feb, couldn't eat, lost 6kg in 2 weeks, mostly bedridden. Back in gym this week - squat went down from 130kg to barely manage 95kg!

Fuck it. I just remind myself how I enjoyed making those gains and that they should come back faster, almost like having newbie gains again. It's all about the journey.

Yesterday was first time in gym after flu ;-;
