Good point, results do tend to speak for themselves .. a guy with pins for legs and gorilla arms obviously wouldn't be a good starting point for squat technique

Most people at the gym are either itimidated by, or presume that the biggest, buff guys are the most unfriendly.
The fact of the matter is, they have put a lot of time and effort into something they enjoy or are good at and are more than willing to help out with advice.
If you feel you're doing something wrong, or not sure .. just go and ask.
I've often wondered how much in the real world, technology and the associated costs affect due diligence.
I'd tried pretty much everything in that list, as well as an operation on my right wrist. I won't say nothing worked .. because I was able to go from not being able to hold a pen .. to not being able to hold a plate :)
I'd actually given up (both therapy, and Music/Software Engineering) due to nothing seemingly working, and by chance started hitting the gym. As a part of my regular workout I integrated some basic wrist exercises (initially, I think it was wrist curls / reverse wrist curls).
So fast forward 10+ years and I now have absolutely zero problems. In hindsight I'm sure it was a combination of all the treatments and building significant forearm strength .. but not one Doctor, or Physiotherapist mentioned physical training as part of the path to recovery/prevention.

It's a pity there's not a decent aggregator like Indeed.com for EU.
