SICK results

I used to workout all the time about a year ago - got my bench right up there, and everything else for that matter. After i took roughly 6 months off it was like starting all over again. Finally im almost back where i left off and im seeing results and getting stronger faster than ever. Is this common? I hope it doesnt stop anytime soon. I do for example bench about once a week and it seems every week i can add on an extra 5 lbs on each side! :big_smile::dumbbell: -My question is - is it much easier to gain back the muscle/strength you once had or am i getting all these results from being extremely healthy and lifting heavy

It does make a difference and a layoff doesn't seem to have a lot of affect although it's harder to make a comeback as you get older.:) -------------- Mike in Pensacola Now.
	2006/04/13, 04:53 AM great to hear you're doing well....you were probably undereating protein so that the extra protein is going the extra mile for you compared with the average person.... I hope you're also doing this well on Squats, Deadlifts, Pull Ups, and Dips...
