    [MOD NOTE] r/xxfitness was hacked, and is temporarily private

    @andersenkc To the mods: you are awesome and thank you for all of the hard work you put in. This Trump hack situation felt like bizzaro world. But this sub is such a labour of love thanks to you guys.

    Experienced lifters, how much do you b/s/d? Either 1 RM or typical training weights

    @frbrian Get on your hands. I think the only reason I was able to get a decent OHP after only introducing that lif in December was because I spend a lot of times on my hands (handstands, handsprings, giant swings, etc.) due to my sport. It's a really tough lift.

    IPF World Classic Open Powerlifting Championships in Malta: Preview and discussion post

    @nathan2018 I'm also excited for the -83 and if Ena is going to figure out his grip consistency issue and actually pull above 400 kg, like he's alluding to on social media. He gave us that haily mary pull moment last year. Big question mark on Chance as well, given he pulled out of Sheffield...

    @lovejoypeaceetc I screamed at Enahoro's hail mary deadlift attempt. And he was so close to getting it! Also, Lya out broke my heart in all the ways. And some queen shit fron Pantea for casually switching to sumo on her 3rd DL. Had hoped Kjenner would take it, since I'm a fangirl, but happy...

    @nathan2018 So I'm a die-hard Jess Buettner fangirl, but to see her battle it out with Sitko is going to be a highlight.

    What can I do when I’m young to keep healthy when I’m older?

    @burialchoice There are certain popular goals in the fitness world which require trading in long-term health for short-term success. Ironically, these are the goals that are most visibly associated with fitness. I'm talking about extreme physiques, high-level competetive athleticism and adjacent...

    "What Animal Do You Lift?" is back online!

    @readerjoseph This is one of my favourite websites. I recently benched a baby elephant for a triple! And two days ago I, uhm, also benched a baby elephant (albeit a slightly lighter one) for a set of five.

    Does body recomposition actually work?

    @_marc97 Well, yes. That's kind of the point. You want some of that extra energy to go into your muscle building and recomposition efforts. If you keep protein high and training hard then fat gain can be kept minimal and muscle gain maximal. The reason people keep saying to eat more is because...

    Does body recomposition actually work?

    @_marc97 Yes, recomposition works. But it is an outcome rather than a complete action plan with a set of rules. The idea behind recomposition is to change drastically in body composition compared to any changes in scale weight. And recomposition does not have to be strictly equicaloric. Say, a...

    Do you guys have opinions on Wendler's "North of the V**" concept?

    @cz1611 Yeah, that's gonna be a hard no for me. I've tried the whole "not being so by these sentiments offended" thing and it's become very clear to me, that a good amount of people call out people for "being offended at everything" because they are offensive and don't want to be more...
