Bodybuilding - everybody wants to be a bodybuilder
Post with careYou can post, but there are rules to clear first.
Can you post your project here?
Self-promotion is generally banned unless it's solely to solicit traffic to one site. Posts should share a variety of relevant content. If you are a competitor, physique posts are allowed with specific frequency limits and details about your plans.
Before you post: Rule 1 states members here "merely for self-promotion or to solicit traffic to just one site will be banned." Rule 5 allows physique posts if you are in prep or an active competitor, with frequency limits and details. Other personal physique content should go in weekly threads.
The rules, in their words
- Self promotion: Members of the community who are here merely for self-promotion or to solicit traffic to just one site will be banned. Do not repeatedly post links to only one website. This subreddit works best when our community shares a variety of relevant content with each other.
- General fitness/nutrition: This sub is about body building. Specifically, the sport that involves preparing yourself for a competition (includes bikini, fitness, figure and physique). For the purposes of this sub bodybuilding is not about building a better body or general weight lifting. The following rules are to try and ensure that items posted here are both of good quality and related to the subject.
- Images without discussion: Do not post images of bodybuilders unless accompanied with some text / description intended to create discussion. Additionally, please make sure that images of bodybuilders are related to bodybuilding itself. Any image of a fully clothed bodybuilder doing things unrelated to bodybuilding will be removed.
- Asked and Answered: Before posting use the FAQ, the reddit search bar, or google (with "site: reddit.com/r/bodybuilding/ <question>" or even just "site: reddit.com <question>) to ensure that your question has not already been asked and answered. Please consider searching on the other related subs: /r/fitness, /r/weightroom, /r/powerlifting, /r/gainit etc. The /r/fitness wiki is an excellent resource.
- Physique Posts: Physique posts are allowed if you are in a prep for a bodybuilding contest, stage shots from your recent show, or are an active competitor in offseason between shows. Rule of thumb for posts is once a week for prep, once a month for offseason and once for your stage pics. You should accompany the post with details about your prep or offseason plan. Other personal physique related content should be posted in the weekly physique threads or the Daily Discussion.
- Workout or Routine Critique: Don't ask us to critique your workout, or suggest a workout. There are certain basic principles involved in workouts designed to optimize hypertrophy. They are in our FAQ. If you follow those principles, what particular exercise you do or in what order doesn't much matter. If you still think you have a valid question pose it in the "Training Thursday" thread.
- Injuries: Do not post questions asking for alternative exercises, or work around to injuries, or about exercise form, or DAE have X when they do Y. The "Training Tuesday" weekly thread is a better place for this or the Daily Discussion thread.
- Memes: Do not post any karmatrain type of posts or posts that refer to memes. Use /r/gymmemes/ for those. Photos / videos posted to generate a similar karma or circle jerk response will be removed.
- Diagnosis: Requesting fellow redditors to diagnose a medical condition is inappropriate (and dangerous) and these posts will be removed.
- Non-Bodybuilding Images: Don't post images of athletes or articles about athletes outside of bodybuilding. This includes tangentially related disciplines such as strongman, powerlifting and olympic lifting. This also includes "I'd like a physique like this guy". These posts are usually better suited for/r/weightroom/ and will be removed. Possibly blurry line is if the athlete is talking about the sport of bodybuilding.
