Muscle memory and muscle physiology
55:55 - 1:03:29 (07:34)
There is much still unknown about muscle physiology, but recent discoveries suggest that the ability to experience hypertrophy is limited by the amount of muscle nuclei one has, and muscle memory is independent of the muscle itself.

The concept of muscle memory is largely independent of the muscle, and different forms of exercise tap into different mechanisms, but with overlapping sets of mechanisms.

Summary
The concept of muscle memory is largely independent of the muscle, and different forms of exercise tap into different mechanisms, but with overlapping sets of mechanisms. Muscle hypertrophy is associated with strength increases, and the amount of hypertrophy is often limited by the amount of nuclei a muscle has.

There are parallels between strength and hypertrophy changes and neuroplasticity.

Summary
There are parallels between strength and hypertrophy changes and neuroplasticity. We know that the ability to learn different languages or play instruments at an older age comes from changes in the cells and in the nerves that innervate these cells, similar to experiencing increases in strength and hypertrophy.

Summary
The understanding of muscle physiology is constantly evolving and new research has revealed that there might be different types of nuclei impacting muscle growth. However, established methods for training and nutrition adaptations remain effective.
