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.

Notes -
I'm not out to claim that "genetics don't matter" or something, but off the top of my head at least two of those attributes sure seem trainable.
Fiber type: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30006671/ (and see the fairly extensive animal literature as well e.g. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s004410050647)
Tendon strength: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18556433/
I am pretty sure "CNS drive" is also fairly trainable, but my eyes glaze over every time I see the phrase and I'm not sure it's terribly well-defined.
