Wellness Wednesday for June 17, 2026

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).

True, true. Yeah cap is actually my fav hero haha. In part from our histories being kinda similar. I guess I would continue doing what I'm doing, just with easier results I guess? It's my opinion my bone sizes make training harder for me. I think with small enough bones acromegaly would be less pathological, since there's more room for things to overgrow on my body than in most. But good point, I guess the frantic urgency is IF there is some kind of epigenetic signaling that does indeed stop bone width growth after a certain age, (but after growth plates are closed), and whether or not I may still be before that signaling, meaning in a few years maybe HGH really won't do anything for my bone width growth whereas right now, it just might, so I have to act now. But that urgency comes from uncertainty, without the uncertainty I wouldn't have a sense of urgency really, because then the best you can do really is just training + diet + maybe some conventional supplements like creatine etc.
