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 -
Woah, isn't that a high dose ? Don't mean to sound alarmist. Genuinely curious.
Yes. Was it because of a dislocation, subluxation or another injury?
I've had routine subluxations during climbing. Every time I've gotten injured, my last words have been "watch me get injured". Unlike some other muscles, shoulder injuries are rarely sudden. 100% of the time, Bad sleep + Cold body + Stupidity = Shoulder injury/
Strengthening my rotator cuff + scapula has helped a lot. I do a bunch of cable exercises with low weights for my shoulder. Internal rotation, external rotation, face pulls & dead hangs -> arch hangs, cat-camels, scapular shrugs. For standard exercises, I've moved to using dumb-bells exclusively. It recruits stabilizers and makes it easy to bail from dangerous situations.
Yeah, highest you get, anything beyond this is obtained by taking smaller doses together
Subluxation I guess. Please do recommend the exercises you do, climbing requires shoulders to be ok. In my case, I already had a bad left shoulder that would make noises and move in the socket, I kept doing super deep Pullovers to failure and ended up having a partial tear on my healthy shoulder.
