The outside edge and all of the 3 or so inches before it inserts.
Your biggest problem is going to be convincing your scaps to move on your rib cage properly. Fixing tight pecs is kind of step 1 here, then comes a crap tonne of scap pinching/depressing/shrugging and shoulder external rotation work.

Totally forgot
I'll see if I can find a willing subject tomorrow.
Balls I forgot to get a video!
Slower negative, go slower as your arse gets closer to the floor. Avoid "dumping" your hips onto the ground - they actually never really want to be at rest, instead having constant PPT.
Slower leg movement, with a pause at full extension.
Firstly, I'd try investigating to see if there were any form faults resulting in too much lower back movement (any is too much for all lifting, obviously not the case for your MT).
The only reliable remedy beyond that is using a lacrosse ball/foam roller and attacking it until the pain goes/you pass out.
Much more aggressive PPT.

No stretches! Basically none ever.With all the Thai boxing and the increased volume in my lifting, my lower back is getting really pumped and often quite stiff hen I hit the gym.
Any recommended stretches I can do before training (this includes before MT as well) Ice (or anyone else) that will help loosen it up? The old school lying on the floor and lifting your head up does nothing but stiffen it up more
I still do the hip/glute stretches you recommended a long time ago and they are great

No stretching in the lower back is a rule of thumb that applies more often than not. I'd only ever let a professional prescribe it.
However, what you'll find is that soft tissue work is more than enough to loosen it up. After smashing it, try touching your toes (as much of a lower back stretch as I'd do myself) and you'll see what I mean.

I think you misunderstand what this thread is for.
Reading this back, I sound like a douche.
Let me be a little bit more helpful.
A small amount of reading in this thread would have told you that a lot muscle soreness is best attacked with soft tissue massage techniques and some stretching. A bit more research would have allowed you to tell us exactly what muscle was sore, which would mean we wouldn't have to guess.
Also, your posture is your responsibility to fix. It's literally as simple as finding out how to stand/sit, and just doing it all the time. If you can't do that, I can't help you.
Your posts in this subforum have come across as a bit lazy, to me anyway. It would help you tremendously to read some of the resources here and elsewhere, as not only would you know more, but your questions could be more targeted and you wouldn't be asking people to rehash often repeated fundamentals to provide you with the appropriate information.
Read that back, I still sound like a douche...
There are some hip capsule specific things that I can show you when you come to Iffley, but I'd bet literally sitting on your lacrosse ball and attacking those hamstring/adductor insertions would help. For maximum grundle punishment you'll need to do this o a solid chair/bench/whatever
