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 -
Did a full Pentathlon today with the 16kg kettlebell. Got near full scores, but missed on the half-snatch. I suspect that this event is going to be the most difficult for me. Pacing just wasn't there. This showed me I really will need to get pacing right with the heavier bells, and work on technique. Every rep needs to be perfect to maximize speed.
Clean: 120 reps
Clean and press: 70 reps (Forgot to stop at 60, only counts as 60 anyway)
Jerk: 120 reps
Half Snatch: 94 reps
Push Press: 120 reps
Score @16kg: 1,028
