@sydneyelise Exelent demonstration of your journey man. My troughts mostly where into.. how do i explain, i feel like for guys like you the rr focuses a bit too much on "acrobatic" holds and not much "raw" bodyweight strenght full motion exersices, aka, simple resistance, i mean, to build hypertrophy in the important parts to be somewhat resistant to injury before doing holds, that also helps to mainting correct form, in the book of overcoming gravity also talks about this. Basically means, do the basic exersices until you form in 100% ok (means you got the strenght) then after that you progress. I know, if you get bored or stuck, just search for another strenght (full motion the better) exercices, keep for like 3-4 months, then try again you form, youll be surprised. Also, eat a bit more protein while doing it and progress slowly, have and objective for the 2year mark, 1 year is a bit too fast too reach that level. Just my toughts.
Awesome to see your journey.
edit: i also had prblems with my elbow when i started 6 months ago, it was minor, but went away after 1 month, what i did is what i wrote, for example i started doing more pushups and dips in a chair, way more, like 4 months, even if it seemed easier, surprisingly.. really, my form improved in those very basic exercises, i tought i was doing them ok, but you feel it when you do it 100% ok, after that, elbow problems went away and never returned, i also started with parallel dips, no problems.
