How to preserve muscle mass?

Hi guys,

I’m going to be unable to lifting for 2 months due to injury. I will still be able to do light cardio and yoga to avoid non muscle weight gain.

How can I best preserve my muscle mass? Are there good supplements for maintaining muscles mass? I hear EFA’s and CLA are good, as well as eating plenty of protein.

  1. If you don’t lift you are going to lose some muscle mass , but I wouldn’t worry to much about it . Muscles have whats called "Muscle memory" , so after your injury heals jump back into it with proper form and you will be on your way to getting HUGE in no time. Your body will actually "remember" your muscle mass and will try to get back to it as fast as it can……. You will be amazed.

  2. Keep it in a freezer so it doesn’t spoil!

  3. as far as i know you cant keep muscle mass without working them so you will probably just have to work it back after you heal

    had the SAME problem…nature DOES take its course but thre real answer to this for me is this…."WALKING"…and a LOT of it….i walked 3 to 5 hours a day and they disappeared. it sounds like a lot, but walking is so good for you….while walking, I lost 37 lbs in 6 weeks….of course i modified my dietary regimen….NO carbs except in the morning…..like ONE muffin…but use tofu as well…with soy sauce, you can have twice the weuight as any other protein and it does NOT make yu gain weight…use FIRM tofu and actually with bottled teruiyaki sauce, you can make what tastes like a great dish..land twice the amount of it as you would have itf you were to use filet mignon…!!!! Also, if yo uasdd horse radish to it, you can make a cottage salad and it is delicious!!!! I am not a vegetarian,, but tofu, the firm stuff. is amazing!!! So walk, use fresh and steamed veggies and try to use PAM instead of any other thing to stirfry…NO rice now. Only Protiens, no white oniions, use green scallions and know that if yu keep your protiein in halves of let’s say 9 ounces per day …but remember that three meals a day is paramount…This is the way that i did it and the weight poured off me, Including love handlws…what i loved was that each day i looked better and it blew not only MY mind, but people around me saw me turn into how i use to look when I had just gotten married…..well? it is now all up to you and I wish yo uthe best!!!!
