A lot of great posts on the great thread.
My practice, before practice, routine evolves all of the time but some of the constants are 3, 4 and 5 finger E shaped barre chords up to the 12th fret, 5 finger and the thumb E shaped barre chords up to the 12th fret. If you don’t practice your barre chords you will always have problems with them.
The A and A7th shaped and Am and Am7 Barre chords, omitting the treble E string, except for the 7th chord version, up to the 12th fret and as the old coach says do this with your eyes closed as it is muscle memory and also helps train the ear.
The E7 shaped chord beginning on the A, D, G strings. I do these in the before practice practice at least twice a week and sometimes every day. I also love the Bb major 7, B/3, G/2 and D/3 strings to the Am7- B/1, G open, D/2 and walk that up the neck( Cmajor7 to Bm7 starting on the 5th fret to the 4th fret) to the 12th fret. It is a great transition chord to the relative minor of every key, especially if you pick out every note leading to the relative minor.
