I thought some folks here in fitness@lemmy.world might also be interested in a more strength and hypertrophy training oriented community, with a focus on weekly training logs, program discussions, questions and lifting techniques.
After humming and hawing about it ever since the Reddit API migration, I decided that if I wanted to see it on Lemmy I really should make it so.
One of the things that I missed the most from Reddit was the strength training subs, as they were great motivation to stay consistent, and the occasional program parties were a lot of fun. A bunch of folks trying to get through super squats and drinking a gallon of whole milk per day made for some pretty interesting workout reports.
I have not traditionally been a community builder in the past, but I believe there is big a gap in the Fediverse where strength and hypertrophy training should be.
Doesn’t seem like splitting off the discussion into two subs would help at this point. Strength and hypertrophy is a large part of fitness. What is the benefit of dividing the user base like this?
The split is a carryover from the way Reddit was organized, with the fitness sub being very generalized and larger, and the weightroom sub a lot more structured and focussed on strength and hypertrophy. The structure goes hand in hand with methodical strength training, personally I found the regular training logs to be helpful for accountability. Over the last year or so on Lemmy a few other people had mentioned the same, so I thought I would try my hand at providing that structure here on the fediverse
Is that a genAI pic?
