The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.

Odd experience:
Training to try to do Murph (Mile run, 100 pull ups, 200 push ups, 300 squats, mile run) on memorial day, figure trying it a couple times a week is good conditioning anyway. Working up to it, I'm thinking wow I suck at this, I wonder what the record is and/or what a good time is online?
Normally when I look up CrossFit benchmarks, or powerlifting standards, like Fran or Grace the elite numbers and even normal standards strike me as basically impossible, numbers I can't imagine Hitting.
This time, it wasn't THAT bad. I'll definitely reach mid, which will make me happy at the event.
Just weird feeling. Normally I find out I suck worse than I thought.
Hopefully that carries over to the weekend: I'm going to a BJJ open mat at a different gym while I'm out of town for Easter. Hoping not to be embarrassed.
Ah but were you wearing your official ROGUE(tm) 25lb plate carrier with Punisher skull patch?
I have a mucho cheapo vest from Amazon that I intend to use in the final event, I might have been able to stomach the sticker on the Rogue vest then I realized it DIDN'T INCLUDE ANY WEIGHT, which is just insulting.
