Question: How long does it take a body builder to lose muscle mass and strength!?
I have been weight lifting for almost 2 years now and am wondering how long of a break I can take before I would begin to lose strength and mass!? I am asking this question because school is coming to and end and finals are consuming my life!. I know that it takes much longer to gain muscle than it does to lose it but if anyone can speak from personal experience I would appreciate it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
