My best performance was an 8c flash. For non-climbers, that means -that I completed an 8c route without any prior knowledge to how this route is -build and supposed to be completed. I just went on the wall and did it. -In late 2019, I hurt the the tendons in my right middle and ring finger. This -put me out of commission for about 6 months. When I finally recovered the gym -was closed because of the COVID-19 virus. I never enjoyed any other forms of -physical activity, so I let myself go and gained about 15 kilograms. At this -point I should add, that during my peak climbing days, I was underweight. -I am 183cm tall and weighed about 63kg, which wasn't exactly healthy. -I now weigh around 77-79kg and I haven't really actively climbed since 2019. -What I mean by "actively climbed" is at least three times a week, which is the -minimum of what I did back then. Nowadays, due to work and a longer commute to -the gym, I go about once every two weeks. -Now, this is why muscle memory is weird. -I don't go climbing three times a week like I used to. -I gained 15kg, most of which is probably fat. I lost muscle. -AND STILL, after only four climbing sessions, I am back to flashing 7c. -I know, it is not an 8c, but I expected WAY worse, and I honestly don't -know how I'm even able to do this. I don't think I should be able to do this. -I thought I'd start back at around 6a or so, simply because my shoulders and -back muscles got way weaker. But I can still do these routes without an issue. -If this is really just muscle memory doing its thing, then I'm really excited -for what I can do, once I get back into climbing regularly. -- cgit v1.2.3
