Say like, a 400lb mobile person has been big for like 10 years, then loses a lot of weight down to say 200, are their legs still conditioned for the lost 200, or does the muscle atrophy to meet their exercise requirements and they lose the strength? I guess my question if you speak gym is could they squat 200 easy?
Absolutely, the body will adapt to the demands placed on it. a concept known as progressive overload. I've personally experienced this phenomenon; I was about 250lb at 6'1" without any significant muscle definition. Decided to change my lifestyle, started hiking and cycling regularly along with a more balanced diet. Over two years, I dropped to 190lb, and my lower body strength improved drastically.
