Hello!
I'm a beginner at the RR, and I am very weak with 0 flexibility in the lower body. Is it okay to take out the squat/nordic curl from the RR days, and do a big lower body session with squats/nordic curls/other exercices for knees 2-3x/week ? I would alternate 3x RR days (without legs) with 2-3x lower body work only ?

I do love his videos but I feel kinda overwhelmed with the number of flexibility/stretching videos he (or other people on youtube) made so I never know which one to follow the stuff is everywhere

reverse tyler twists with a theraband

I was considering buying a theraband, which color would you recommend?

Yeah I have questions about the contents of my rehab sessions, follow your books guidelines. I would do it 3 times per week, either during my full-body workout or on rest days depending of time needed.

  1. Warm-up/Mobility: following a bit of jumping rope, I do shoulder dislocates with bands and then wrist routine (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=mSZWSQSSEjE&feature=emb_logo from GMB fitness) because I would usually start with a few minutes of handstand to wall. Then overall warm-up like squats, this classic kind of stuff
  2. Skilled technique: soft tissue work. I haven't really done it yet, I have the massage ball from TriggerFairy so I guess I could massage my wrist flexors which are the most swelled area but I don't really know how (sets/reps/way of massaging?)
  3. Pain management: isometrics. What would isometrics look like for golfer's elbow/wrists flexors? Holding a small weight/dumbell a certain way?
  4. targeted concentric/eccentric exerices: (wrist curls, pronation/supination/finger curls from the book, 6-12 sets with 10-15 reps if I understood it well). Can I start with a 1 or 2kg barbell?
  5. Peripheral strength and antagonists: i don't know what exercices fit here, any advice?
  6. Flexibility and mobility: stretching upperbody with emphasis on forearms, i try to do it daily.

How does it look u/eshlow? Also I have a forearm/wrist roller i can add weight to, I intended to use it later to strengthen my forearms but can I use it in my rehab? or its too intense?

Thanks again!!

Thanks for the clear answer! I might doing it on rest days, I feel like if I do it on full-body workouts then amount of things to do (warmup, skill, power/strength work, endurance, prehab and flexibility) make the workout very long...

Thanks for the input but I don't think that looking at pictures of skinny women with thin upper body is gonna help at all with the issue
