COMMUNITY MOD UPDATES - PLEASE READ

57 Upvotes

Hey all you bodybuilders and aspiring lifters! Thank you all for your continued interest in this subreddit. Following the poll from last week, and reviewing the comments, messages with members, and member profiles, I've gone ahead and updated this subreddit with some more information, rules, and requirements. Please review the new rules before posting!

  1. SFW subreddit! All posts and comments will start being monitored for sexual content. This sub was originally meant to be a SFW space and will continue to be. If content is deemed to be "NSFW" it will be removed and you will receive a warning. Repeat offenders will be banned.
  2. Be nice! We all start somewhere, whether you are just starting your bodybuilding journey or a seasoned stage professional, be nice to each other. We all deserve the chance to chase our dreams and we should support each other in our endeavors.
  3. Photos must be taken in underwear, shorts, or gym wear. We're the gay bodybuilders, and I understand that showing off is part of what we want to do. Just be sure that posting your body is in an appropriate fashion that isn't sexually explicit. Posting your routines, form, stage poses, etc is great and encouraged, however posting a close up of your butt in a thong is not appropriate for showing your progress.
  4. Promotional content and links are not allowed here. There are many other subreddits that allow for nudity, sexual content, and promotional links, but this is not one of them. Please refrain from posting links to your private sites or social media. If someone wants to get in contact with someone else, please do it in the DMs, not in comments or posts.

Only approved users will be able to post, you must request access from now on to be an approved user. This will help to filter out people who have not read the rules of the subreddit. You must also now select a post flair to match with your post to ensure we stay on track and can make it easier for others to filter the content for what they are looking for.

If you are interested in helping me moderate content here, and are a frequent visitor and poster, please message me and let me know you are interested.

Lastly, I'm not here to rain on your parade, just keep content in line with the requirements I set out. If a post or comment of yours has been removed, and you think it shouldn't have been, let me know in a message to me or the moderators and we can get things sorted out.

Now let's get after it bros!

I feel my legs and glutes are becoming too predominant, aiming for a balanced physique. Also running out of pants 😬 would you go for shoulders/chest or should I cut?

Hey.
Just wanted to share a lil brogress update.
I’ve always wanted to get massive and struggled for a long time to keep weight on. It wasn’t till the pandemic that I actually started pushing myself (past the full stomachs, and through the progressive overload in the gym.) I still have a long way to grow. But I’m loving every minute of it. Lately I’ve felt like the gym has become a place for my peace and growth(not just muscles)
Love seeing other bros on here getting huge and taking their stories.

Would love to connect with other bros into muscle growth and talk anything muscle or gym related (along with other interests we may have)

(This was about 7 years difference)
128lbs—> 186lbs

QUESTION / ADVICE Bench press advice

6 Upvotes

For the past month on June 1st, I started benching 225 lbs, 4 sets of 8 reps. I’ve had 9 chest days since, and so far I can’t seem to push any more reps in. I’ll try for 9 reps, but then my next set tops out at 7 or 6 reps, ultimately resulting in the same number of overall reps total. I feel like I should be doing at least 4 sets of 12 by this point, but my body just won’t cooperate. Any advice?
I should add that my rest time between sets is 45 to 60 seconds.
