Announcement Update on "Flex Friday" and Promotional/NSFW Accounts

236 Upvotes

Hey bros,

We are updating our policy regarding "Flex Friday" posts to keep the focus of this subreddit on fitness, progress, and community discussion.

Effective immediately, we will no longer allow posts from the following accounts:

  • Commercial/Paid Profiles: Accounts that exist primarily to promote external paid platforms (such as OnlyFans, JustForFans, and link aggregators like Linktree).
  • NSFW-Primary Profiles: Accounts whose post histories consist primarily of submissions to NSFW or explicit subreddits.

We’ve noticed a consistent upward trend where these posts are sexually suggestive, lack any meaningful fitness interaction from the poster, and ultimately serve as self-promotion, which violates our community rules.

Flex Friday is about sharing your fitness journey and engaging with the community, not driving traffic to explicit profiles or paid links. Profiles dedicated to commercial or NSFW promotion will have their posts removed.

Thanks for helping us keep the focus on fitness!

- The Mod Team

Are you a fitness-minded gaybro looking for a fitness-minded gaybro? Read this thread and decide if you wish to leave a comment below.

Purpose

Your mods are sponsoring this thread to help guys with their fitness journey. The following are encouraged:

  • Accountability partners, using Reddit messaging.
  • Connecting on apps such as Lift Fitness or Hevy.

The following will not be tolerated:

  • Hookups, sexual gratification, etc.
  • Looking for followers (Instagram, Onlyf*ns, etc).
  • Commerce (on-line coaches, MLM sales, etc).

Caveats:

  • Don't give out personally identifying information. Stick to facts like your age, city, general goals, and challenges.

Do:

  • Post a sentence or two about yourself and your goals.
  • Are you trying to gain? Lose? Learn something new?
  • You may post a link to a photo if it is SFW (wear shorts). Consider linking to your Flex Friday post, or r/gaybrosgonemild (requires face), or some other fitness sub.
  • Flag posts which seem outside the purpose or link to NSFW photos.
  • If you have success finding a bro here, post a comment about it.
  • If you have a bad experience with a bro you connected with here, post a comment about it.

Question Looking for someone to hold me accountable into staying small and working out/ running

0 Upvotes

So as the title says, I’m looking for someone who can hold me accountable for working out/running. I’m open to it being any type of dynamic you prefer it to be. If it’s like coaching/mentor, friends, flirty, or bullying or anything, I’m very open. I just wanna stay lean and fit. I’m 5’4”, 90 lbs, and 21, so I am on the smaller side. I run 10 miles every day and go to the gym 5 times a day after my run. I actually just signed up for the gym 2 weeks ago and have been consistent 5 days a week, but I just need that extra boost/motivation to keep doing it, and I don’t mind doing the same for you and holding you accountable for the gym I do have a size kink with like muscles and body, so if you’re into that, we can play into it and actively grow that gap between us. But for the most part, I just need help staying lean like under 100 and getting a little more toned or looking my best, so any help would be appreciated :)

Progression 16 weeks done.

Just finished my 16 weeks with my PT. Super proud of the progress. I got up to the heaviest I’ve been in a long long time 192 lbs. I lost about 15lbs from not eating much, working out some and playing softball. I was coming out of a 12 year relationship and honestly felt like I hit rock bottom. I decided that if I didn’t change, then nothing was going to change. I quit drinking and smoking and decided to invest in myself and got a trainer. This is 16 weeks of meal prepping, working out 4/week and just showing up. Down to 164lbs but feel bigger in a good way. I honestly don’t think I could’ve done it with out the support from my trainer. I learned a lot about myself in these 16 weeks but the main thing I learned is if you keep showing up, the gains have no choice but to show up too.

So timeline of events.

Broke up a dog fight May 19th which tore a tendon in my finger finger on my left hand so could bench without pain or really do anything without pain.

June 16th, Had surgery. They replaced the tendon with a cadaver and it successfully took. Didnt push anything really for a few weeks but since being cleared july 20th, ive been benching 3x a week and pushing just reps.

Yesterday, I decided to bench 315 and I got it for 2. Thankful that this has been alot of movement forward and I have the foresight to keep going.

Advice Hitting a Roadblock

Hi everyone! Sorry if this isn’t the right place I’m new to Reddit.

I’ve been working out for about four months now and I’m not seeing a lot of progress to be honest. I do lots of cardio work (running, treadmill, stair master), and a few at home workouts. I can’t really say I’ve seen much of a change. My main goal at the moment is just to cut and slim down a bit. Any tips or tricks? I’m super new to fitness and working out so I’m definitely out of my element here.

Better work quickly before the pump deflates and you lose the lighting 😶 Somewhat happy with the mass I've managed to put on, would love to do a cut and lose some fat but honestly just can't find the motivation to start tracking food, macros and all that jazz
