Age/bodyweight/height? Why do I have to keep asking for this data?
Hello coach!
I've been training for the purpose of Powerlifting for almost a year now, and have missed 2 meets so far due to injuries. I keep getting injured over and over again even though my technique has been called decent by the SS coaches on the forum.
(an example for one of the technique posts I made)

Currently I got an injury in my lower back, my right shoulder and my left arm, but those are inconsistent, and I keep getting new injuries over time no matter what I do.
I'm on the 9th week of TM and doing it almost exactly as it says here (only switched cleans for chin ups and removed BP because of shoulder injury):

My current RM5s are
Squat 385
DL 420
Press 170
Haven't benched heavy for almost 6 months due to the shoulder injury. Currently doing 5 reps with 175.
I would be glad to hear any tips you got to stop constantly injuring myself and make my older injuries go away.
Thanks coach!

Must be that there.
The first one is probably right. I don't know how I can be doing this wrong if I'm following TM with correct technique. It's not like I'm adding some unnecessary exercises like speed deadlifts or box squats. I don't want to give up powerlifting just because my body slightly rejects it. Is there something someone who is prone to injuries can do to minimize them? Could doing less volume help?
What does the book say about doing the Texas Method, and who should be doing it?
