Is there any studied link between the type / amount of physical activity you get as a child and your muscles' responsiveness to training later in life?

When I was 9 or 10 I got a set of two 3kg dumbbells I didn't really know what to do with, so I curled those fuckers all day every day. Then I got a pull-up bar I used randomly till I worked up to 20 reps of my childish bodyweight. Then I spent all of my late teens and most of my 20's as a physically inactive skellyfag. Now that I'm lifting I noticed my biceps and lats are by far the fastest growing / best developed muscles, even though I do relatively little lats work and zero direct biceps work.

Am I onto something here? Should we get our kids into resistance training as early as possible?

i was sedentary and fat from ages 12 to 20. i'm not in my late 20s and i put on muscle slow as fuck. hope this helps.

Did parkour and a bunch of jumping for 3 years as a kid and ive had 17in calves ever since i remember and my legs respond very well to training

literally me desu

I used to do shitloads of pull-ups as a kid but never put on weight because I knew fuck all about dieting and training. Now I actually gym seriously Ive found my back is definitely my strongest muscle group.

oh also, having been fat, my legs got used more than my upper body, so now my squat and deadlift are disproportionately higher than my presses.

It might

I would walk to and from school each day, it was about a 3km walk with half being uphill on the way back. My calves and quads are huge while the rest of me grows pretty slowly. Was also fat though.

Motor engrams.

I've been pretty chubby my entire life but was never too inactive or sedentary. I played sports and skateboarded and played outside and shit but was always the chubby kid. Now my calves are big af and my legs look good as shit so I don't have to take the leg day meme as hard.

>if you work specific muscles they will grow

mindblowing, publish this in a scientific journal

>what is muscle memory

I was weird as fuuuuck as a kid, but I would daily test my balance and shit by running using only tiptoes or my heels, or standing on one leg for as long as I could. Now my legs, ass and back are my strongest muscles and take the least effort to improve.

Literally the exact opposite of what I wrote, you illiterate cunt. Which was:
>even though I don't work certain muscles directly, they grow way faster than the ones I do

Except I'm not using the same motoric patterns I did 15+ years ago.

you being sedentary and fat gave you zero testosterone with the fatness giving you high estrogen giving you horrible bone structure but did not alter how much you grow muscle

are you still getting strong? a good example is jason blaha, strong as fuck but resembles a girl

9 years of dancing(ballet, modern, hip hop, folk, jazz and some others) as a kid. Tree trunk thighs and massive calves to this day.

i think it does, which is why when i have a kid i'm gonna introduce him to light lifting when he's like 11. maybe i'll make him learn oly lifting. i'm not raising no beta faggot son

Also cycling or walking to and from school all year round.

I don't know if childhood has been studied specifically, but training a muscle develops more muscle nuclei, which seemingly last forever. Because they are a prerequisite for hypertrophy muscles with more nuclei will grow faster. This has also come up in the discussion for ban lengths for steroid use in sports, because the roids give you extra nuclei that you benefit from forever.

Yup.
Which is why all of the former fat shits who get pushed into doing SS end up T-rex as fuck.

When I was a kid my father was a retired pro cyclist and we used to do long bike rides when I was really young. When I was 12 we did a camping trip from Washington to San Francisco. It was something like 1000 miles. We did about 50-60 miles a day, and ever since my legs have been strong as fuark.
I think you are on to something OP.
When I have a kid he's getting a power rack for christmas

>no beta faggot son
so why you making him lift?

there are manly things like fighting bears, fighting other kids, manual labour (which will help him build muscle anyway), then there's being a pretentious faggot with body image issues lmao

Used to bike to school for a couple of years when I was younger.
My legs are well off and I could do 1.3 plate squats when I started hitting the gym with no effort.

Forgot to mention, it was a short 5 miles, but there were hills so my legs grew in power and not endurance for the most part.

Dunno. I'm similar I guess. Before lifting, chins/pull-ups were the only exercise I did. Now according to symmetricstrength, my weighted chinup is disproportionately stronger than all of my other lifts.

Well I can tell you that I spent most of my childhood playing video games, I started on the SNES, then N64 moved onto the GameCube and then eventually got myself a pc at the ripe old age of 13,

I can tell you I have far superior hand eye co-ordination and problem solving skills than anyone I know, and have however for the life of me found that my muscles do not seem to grow even on a surplus clean diet doing heavy lifts 5x5

What's your weighted pull up

>did martial arts
>did baseball
>did flag football
>did soccer
>did basketball
>have strong legs as adult
makes sense to me

Literally does not answer a single question OP asked. Are you a retarded?

Spent my whole childhood/teens outside running around or playing sports. Came back to lifting 2 months ago after about a year off and have made very fast noob gains. I think muscle memory might play a part

Yes.
See the muscle and things you learn and do as a child are the blue prints for the kind of person you will become as an adult.

Sitting on your ass beating off and playing games vs going outside playing interacing with others

Are you me?
