Physique Phriday

Welcome to the Physique Phriday thread

What's the point of having people guess your body fat? Nevermind that it's the most inaccurate method available, (read: most likely way wrong - see here) you're still just putting an arbitrary number to the body you have. Despite people's claim that they are shooting for a number, they're really shooting for look - like a six pack.

So let's stopping mucking around with trivialities and get to the heart of the matter. This thread shall serve two purposes:

  1. Physique critiques. Post some pics and ask about muscles or body parts you need to work on. Or specifically ask about a lagging body part and what exercises worked for others.
  2. An outlet for people that want to show off their efforts that would otherwise be removed due to Rule 4, and

Let's keep things civil, don't be a creep, and adhere to Rule 1. This isn't a thread to announce what you find attractive in a mate. Please use the report function for any comments that are out of line.

So phittit, what's your physique pheel like this phriday?

The Future of r/Fitness - Update

Howdy. A few months back we shared some details on how r/Fitness and the moderation thereof was affected (negatively) by the loss of third party mobile apps, such as Apollo, caused by Reddit's changes to its API. Specifically, that r/Fitness would be placed into Restricted mode - which does not allow posts, only comments - while we got a plan in place to address the significant loss of effective tools for moderation.

Since we're going on three months from that, I felt it was time to share an update on where we're at. The "tentative plan" that was mentioned in our first post involved me (formerly u/purplespengler) rebuilding a bunch of the moderation tools that I'd created in the past for r/Fitness and other fitness/lifting subs. This is unfortunately slow going, as I have a full time job and family that take priority for my time, the tools I'm building are pretty robust, I'm writing them from the ground up, and I also have infrastructure to run them on that needs to be set up. That being said, the work has been progressing steadily and the good news is that it should be done within the next few weeks. Once those tools are up and running, it will allow us to take r/Fitness out of Restricted mode so that posts can be made again. In addition, we're going to have some powerful, more targeted ways of detecting and blocking spammers and other bad actors, which should allow us to generally loosen some of the restrictions on who can post or comment, and where.

Thanks for bearing with us while we work to compensate for the loss of tooling that Reddit dumped on us.
