You fell off, like 99% of men do. You failed.

Muscle memory is big, you can build back two to three times faster than the time it took initially. You can lose fat and build back a lot of muscle au the same time which is normally not really possible otherwise. Do it and quit this cursed board most will try to pull you down. Just don't be a tard and try to lift your previous weight on your first workout. Build back up

All longest in-depth studies only last like 6 months, and muscle memory does persist in that timeframe. It's the hypomethylation of your DNA (so it's epigenetics).

It should come back quickly but you might want to hop on trt to help yourself out
Really depends on if you drink, if you roided, how good your cardio health is etc

Muscle memory is based on myonuclei development in the muscle, it is retained for a long time but like anything will degrade over very long periods of time. Just do a GLP-1 cycle and then follow up with steroids.

You'll remember the routine but your muscles are definitely not gonna spawn back in tomorrow if that's what you're hoping for
But it won't take THAT long either, like two months ish, to see good results again
Good luck

Idk why these replies are so hostile, but here's what I can share:
My dad decided to get back in shape in his early 60s after not exercising for a long time, and he built up stamina and physical strength to the point where he could keep up with me while biking for 30 km and got to doing several sets of 10 pull-ups in about a year. I believe you can do it too, especially if your wife's up for it too.
Also, cute cat.
