I recently listened to the "Stronger by Science Podcast" with Greg Nuckols that recounted all the year's biggest studies, and I found their discussion of this analyses on the concept of myonuclear muscle memory particularly interesting:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7317456/.
If I understand it correctly, this seems to suggest that there's no solid evidence that the cause of "muscle memory" comes from within the cells of the muscle itself. On the podcast, Greg was suggesting that he takes this to mean that muscle memory itself may not exist. This is in direct contrast to both personal experience and a number other studies I've read that "muscle memory" of some form does in fact exist. This includes the very well-documented findings that show increased gains for gear users over lifetime natural lifters. To me, this review merely suggests that there may be another mechanism that we don't full understand that actually results in what we refer to as muscle memory. The paper even suggests plausible causal mechanisms such as an altering of the epigenetic code that could explain the phenomenon. It seems like a clear example of tring to grasp at straws to explain a real phenomenon that we can't otherwise make sense of. Thoughts...?
