Yeah, that's been my experience! It largely hasn’t been the memory at all
that’s been an issue (except for the occasional weird things that are Do
The Exact Opposite Of Everything Gymnastics Ever Drilled Into You, c'est la
vie) — my problems have really all been strength-to-weight ratio and some
oddball deficiencies in the shoulders that I’m not certain of their origin
(but that I do suspect my excessive breast tissue of being at least an
Aggravating Factor of as they are not something I dealt with when I WAS a
gymnast).
Still, I’m slowly, steadily increasing that strength-to-weight ratio and
seeing gains and improvements! And I’ve been kind entertained and
flattered to learn -- literally half a lifetime after I left gymnastics! --
that my handstand line down on the floor is still Pretty Goddamn Good
Actually. XD Muscle memory Learned Young is, in fact, a wonder, much like
multiple languages Learned Young.
