Truth

I do not know the science behind it,but its true.I can take a very long break,and within 2 weeks of training and eating right,I am in damn near great condition again.It is always easier to gain back what you have lost then to build it in the first place.

so

what he's saying is that the weight gained back after taking a break is primarily fat? I concur with BaldNazi. It only takes me a month to get back up to par... if that.
