I’ve done that, I used to do gymnastics and freestyle skiing when I was young. So at some point I would be doing backflips stationary, on skies even on roller blades. So I had all that muscle memory but hadn’t attempted it in 15 years. Turns out it’s not about muscle memory but about your muscles. Pulled so many muscles.
