tendons come and go

[111]

Muscles come and go. Tendons do too but much more slowly. If I took a year off climbing and suffered the corresponding muscle atrophy, how long would it take my tendons to atrophy to a non-climber level as well? I want to have fun and pull hard but don't want to pull too hard too soon.

I'm going to give the wrong answer here Ian. I just had a year off, getting back feels like it has all been muscle work. Tendons seem fine.

 

I know. Wrong answer, but I still hurt from the last surgery and haven't been going even 80% yet, so there is that.

 

Good luck!
