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).

Notes -
Here's another way to think of it: Ahnold had small wrists. If you lift seriously and consistently, and keep a good diet, a slim bone structure makes you look bigger and more sculpted by comparison to the points on the body that don't grow. Aesthetics is about contrast. In many ways harder than hoping for a magic pill, but there's no replacement for iron and chicken.
That is a good consolation for the aesthetic side of my concerns. Not going to stop looking for my magic pill but if I don't find it, this is a good way to think about it. I do still wonder about performance though, but with enough training and proper training you can probably still perform at a high level. I guess I just want to get there faster and resolve any underlying obstacles in bone structure.
The other thing to note is that fixing one's posture and particularly upper-body muscle tightness (traps, chest will make your shoulders noticeably wider. Also, look into Ibutamoren/MK-677. It won't get you the huge results you want but it improves GH secretion in a natural pattern. With regard to athletic performance, in life you have to work with where you are - a lot of amateur athletes learn to live with the limitations imposed by their past injuries, they just came from a different origin than yours.
Will do, thank you!
