    I do not
    know what caused the tendonitis.  My best case guess: either catching
    cleans too low (not in the rack) with heavy weight and pushing it back up on my
    shoulders or back squatting (not having good shoulder position when I have the
    bar on my back), Since I do believe I have very good shoulder
    mobility in general( My Front rack is good, my arms go above my head well,
    etc…), I don’t think it was caused by bad positions or imbalances (but I
    could be wrong!)

    I can only
    guess that these are the cause because putting the bar on my back causes the
    most pain.  Pain can also be caused when I press weight overhead or
    raise my arm laterally.

     

    In regards
    to addressing the situation, I have not back squatted, C&J, or lifted any
    weight overhead.  I have abstained from all activities that involve upper
    body pressing/pulling/lifting and cant seem to relieve the symptoms.  The
    training I do is, squat with a safety squat bar (which requires no arm
    engagement, run, and walk.  So I am not sure what you mean by address the
    situation since I am no longer doing the movement (because I don’t
    want to make the situation worse)

     

    I do
    lacrosse ball (LB) my thoracic spine and chest in effort to get slack in the
    system and this helps but very little.  My tissues in my chest are
    somewhat sore (when I LB them) and it feels awesome when I LB the thoracic
    spine but the tissues are not super sore as I can take a lot of press in
    the entire area.

    does any of
    this make sense??

     

    I do however
    have had a tight/sore neck that is gets great relieve form MOB but it isn’t
    100%
