How much time does it take to grow back muscle after stopping exercising?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: It really depends on how much time you took off and how fit you were before the break. Muscle memory can be relatively slow if you took a long break. Most people push too hard to come back quickly and get hurt so just listen to your body and be consistent with your workouts. It will return
