What does muscle memory mean?!


Question: If you're talking about strength training, it means that a muscle eventually "gets used to" the same type of stimulus. That's why people who lift weights will reach a point where they won't get any stronger if they keep lifting the same amount of weight the same way. To increase strength you have to work the muscles in different ways and increase the amount of weight you lift.
