Has /owg/ really merged with /plg/? And stretching is making my tendinitis worst, shouldn't have fell for the meme advice on here. I don't think foam rolling does anything either, except make my shoulders hurt from needing to leverage my body enough to feel the roller.

>idk strength doesnt come one way tho What do you mean by this?
My coach makes me practice light technique at the start of sessions over and over (25kg) for months, so I'm not sure if it's worth programming any real weights yet, he said to wait until my technique is flawless first? Is that just his method of coaching?
>Can anyone help me with what routine to do/give me one? There is way too much choice from what I've read so I'm not sure what would be best.
I would like a lot of focus on improving my back squat, positions and overall mobility/stability such as in OHS position.
I am 75kg 5'9 with a 140kg 1RM backsquat, 105kg frontsquat and a 65kg 1RM strict press. (Not sure if this helps).

use lacrosse ball on your forearms close to elbows
there's a lot of trigger points in there, makes my wrist feel 100% all the time
stretching and foam rolling does not heal anything but it may ease the pain for some people. the only way of healing is by resting
the coaches i had in korea made me add weight when i first went and did not make me lift only with the bar. i didnt tell them that i was already lifting too. the only time i lifted with the bar is when they made me do the same drill torokhtiy teaches in his videos
which is muscle sn/cl --> muscle sn/cl above knee --> muscle sn/cl below knee --> muscle sn/cl below knee with squat. teaching the starting position came afterwards.
Tendinitis needs rest, not stretching. Stretch after the inflammation has cooled off. Use ice or topical antiinflammatories if needed.
Are you sure it's tendinitis and not something else though?

hmm thanks, I have no idea what to do. I've been doing tech for months with no weight and other lifters have said my tech looks fine for now, but the coach is still making me do it?
Should I try adding weight? I feel like I'm getting nowhere.
Where is the place to look/person to ask about beginner programming in the situation I am in with my classics right now?

You're dumb. I saw your grade listed online, you barely have a passing grade. Kek.

Maybe if you shitposted less and pay attention in school you could actually give decent advice.

About that TW squat vid, he says to relax???
I've always saw and read that you have to get very tight and keep upper back very tight but he is saying not to?
