After coming down with the flu recently, I lost all energy and desire to work out for about 4 months. I am an advanced bodybuilder, "I GUESS".. been working out for over 5 years. My problem and question... I am mostly an ectomorph..built kinda like frank zane"I SAID KINDA FELLOWS!"..Well,I lost over 15 pounds..I never had any fat so I guess it was muscle weight..anyway what I'd like to know from anyone who's been there..HOW LONG does it take to build back to your former size? I started working out again two weeks ago and I can see muscle coming back on but "LIKE EVERYONE of US"..IT AIN'T FAST ENOUGH!!
Thanks for hearing out this lunatic barrage peoples..ANY reply will help!

I´m more of a mesomorph than an ectomorph but its just as hard to see some gains for me as it is for others, in reply to your question just use a program that worked or works for you if you dont see any good gains within a month ask again.

whats a mesomorph and ectomorph?

These are somato types. They teach you this in your health class. A mesomorph is a natural athelete they are the ones with killer genetics and thus well muscled. They can drink beer and still have a six pack of their own. The ectomorph is a lean individual who has trouble puttting on weight of any kind. The endomorph is the other somato type and is naturally inclined to be a tad bit pudgy. Most people are actually a cross between meso-endo or meso-ecto though.

I was just wondering how much muscle do you averagly lose in a month if you dont weightlift. Do you eventually lose all muscle you gained once.

lets get it straight, endomorphs are fat piles of shit, and the only way to be is a meso-ectomorph...lean mean ass kickin' machine!
