Not a stupid question.
YES IT WILL HEAL IN A SHRUNKEN STATE AND SLOW DOWN GAINS!

Hey Bib… Fatigue and limiting factor questions
Therein lies the words of the great PE Jedi Bib himself:
>I read an article or research study that described the after failure situation in the collagenous tissues as sort of a crinelation (sp), where the tissues were microscopically folded upon themselves. In normal healing, these damaged tissues bond together, within a collagenous matrix, in effect keeping the overall tissue structure the same length, if not shorter, and after healing, making them stronger. With repeated stresses, these microscopic areas, in the process of healing, are retorn. If the stress is adequate, the stress not only keeps the tissues elongated, but creates new tears. <
There! In the second line:"…if not shorter…"! :eek:
