Weightroom - A community for strength and hypertrophy training (sh.itjust.works)

I thought some folks here in [email protected] 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?

[–] shittydwarf 1 points 5 days ago

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
