REMINDER: This is a BodyBuilding sport subreddit and not about general fitness. 2017 edition

The last one was over a year and a half old so I figured I'd update it.

Any thread with 3 reports will be automatically removed. You have the power to control shit posts!

This subreddit defers to other subreddits' purposes and encourages their use. General fitness posts should be in r/fitness, meme pictures are better at r/meatheads, and so on.

Why was my post deleted?
Generally, posts are deleted when they don’t belong in the r/BB sub.

1. Self promotion -> r/bb doesn’t allow self promotion posts
   
2. General fitness/routine/nutrition questions/working around injuries -> r/fitness
   
3. Steroids -> r/steroids (http://bit.ly/2nVgfTO)
   
4. Health/injuries -> Your doctor
   
5. Memes/funny pictures/funny stories -> r/meatheads or r/swoleacceptance
   
6. Motivation video -> r/fitness
   
7. Food/supplement reviews/requests -> r/mealprepsunday or r/fitness or r/supplements or r/nutrition
   
8. XXXX looking shredded/diced/sick/etc (Rule 3.10)-> r/meatheads
   
9. Informational video/blog -> Post the video instead of the blog. Or r/fitness
   

Answers to general BB questions from threads commonly deleted (updated as people comment):

A. Nutrition

1. I don’t have time to cook. What do I do?
   Crock pot or pressure cooker. Meal prep every week

2. I’m eating so much but not gaining weight. Why?
   You’re not eating enough. Track macros and everything that goes into your mouth with a food scale.

3. I can’t physically eat more but I’m not gaining weight.
   Eat more. See bullet above.

4. Should/how do I load Creatine?
   No

B. Lifting

1. What program do I do?
   For beginners, it doesn’t really matter. PPL or U/L splits are the norm here. Work out each muscle group 2x a week.

2. Do I need a strength base?
   No.

3. I’ve been lifting but nothing works/ I’m skinny fat and making no progress
   You’re either not eating enough or you aren’t lifting enough (or not sleeping enough). If your weight isn’t going up, you’re not eating enough. If you’re gaining weight but your lifts aren’t going up, you need to lift more.
