routine list

Update log:
6/12 – changed pre-tourney and pre-pre-tourney routines, made other routines more practical

During routines, make sure to remind self of the importance of each action/when to use

Do routines 3 days of the week
2 days of the week replace routine practice with shadowboxing instead
