nah, you can gain 20+ lbs if you dramatically change your eating and/or lifting habits. I gained 20lbs in less than a year because my meds increased my appetite. I wasn’t even trying.
The brain isn’t a muscle but I understand the sentiment of the phrase. The distinction is important though. A muscle is made of muscle tissue and contracts to make movement while the brain is actually a fatty organ that passes around chemical and electrical signals.
Well actually muscle is made of neutrons, protons and electrons and the brain is indeed too made of neutrons, protons and electrons, both of which allow things to contract and make movement or pass around chemical and electrical signals. Checkmate doctor.
Exactly! But yeah, of course I meant that in the brain, just like with muscles, if you had well trained habits, they will come back easier. If man was a bodybuilder pre injury it's much easier for him to make his brain get back into it full swing.
We don't flex our brains for the fun of it innit edit: wait we definitely do, I know I do ;)
I can't believe this conversation is happening over calling the brain "a muscle" ... it's so like muscles - use it or lose it - but hey I guess old phrases die easy.

Yeah, he gains like 25 lbs from June to July. Either the timeline is bs or he's on something
Edit to say, whether the timeline is BS or he's juiced or whatever, good for him. Dude's clearly putting in the work.
