The r/bodybuilding subreddit gets around 1000 new subscribers every day, so here's a quick intro to this sub:
This is a community specifically for competitive bodybuilding. It is NOT for general health and fitness, fat loss advice, how to bulk up, how to get started at the gym, or how to get into shape in general. If that's what you're looking for, go to these subreddits and read their quick start guides:
r/Fitness Getting Started Guide: Launch link
r/loseit Quick Start Guide: Launch link
r/gainit Quick Start Guide: Launch link
This subreddit is also NOT for general progress pictures, memes, or questions about whether you should bulk or cut. Those belong in r/progresspics, r/Brogress, r/GymMemes, r/swoleacceptance, and r/BulkOrCut.
If you think you're in the right subreddit, remember to respect your fellow redditors and read the rules before you post: View now
We don't allow self-promotional posts. Don't post about athletes outside of the bodybuilding realm. Check the rules to see if your post would belong in one of our bot-automated threads rather than as a separate post. Do not ask for advice on how to rehab an injury or how to deal with any medical condition. Don't post about supplements. If you haven't been training as a bodybuilder for at least a few years, your questions probably belong in the weekly Newbie Tuesdays thread.
Any question or comment that isn't allowed as its own post can go in the most recent Daily Discussion thread. This thread is stickied and the bot posts it every 23 hours.
As always, general reddiquette and Reddit rules apply. Do you see someone breaking r/bodybuilding rules or Reddit's rules? Report them by hitting the report button.

Feel free to post things in the Daily Discussion Thread that don't warrant a subreddit-level discussion. Although most of our posting rules will be relaxed here, you should still consider your audience when posting. Most importantly, show respect to your fellow redditors. General redditiquette always applies.

Welcome back to MPW!
NEXT WEEK'S POSE: Front Lat Spread
Welcome back to another installment of MPW! Were hitting Side Chest today.
Lower body start! Face the side, then put the ball of the outside foot (the one that faces the audience) into the instep of the inside foot. Spike the outside toe flexing the calf. Drag your outside leg across your inside leg to elongate the muscles, then put your inside knee behind your outside knee into your hamstring, and squish both legs together as you sit into the stance. This is what gives that freaky hamstring look from the side. It is actually the other leg in the back that is making the muscles “pop” by squishing it out.
Scoop your rear pec with your rear bicep. Squish and flex the bicep into the side of the pec, this will help make it appear bigger, and bring out some striations.
Grab the wrist of your outside arm with an over top grip, make a fist with the outside hand, palm up.
Brace tightly with your inside arm, while making a movement to “pull away” with the outside arm. This will force everything in the outside arm to flex, from your shoulders right down to your forearms. This will also help to bring out the rear delt, which will make the shoulder appear larger, and fuller.
Rotate your torso and half face the judges while keeping the legs pointed straight ahead. Smile!
