A place where comrades can
(1) discuss how best to optimize their physical health and develop “Iron Proletarian Discipline” in a healthy and holistic manner. Including but not limited to weight training, stretching, cardiovascular exercise, meditation, nutrition, sleep, and daily routines with an eye towards cultivating the best habits possible,
(2) share motivational and educational writings or videos; bonus points if the perspective is that of a Communist thinker such as Mao or Fidel Castro, and
(3) discuss the relationship between mental health and exercise.
Rule:
Approach every conversation in good faith.

I couldn’t agree more on the point about lifting for fun, for a few months I struggled with gym motivation and would kinda just not go often enough because I was so caught up in following a regimen to a tee. Once I started exercising for fun primarily, I started going to my gym more often and for longer periods of time
Yeah, there's a lot to be said for optimized training and getting the most out of your time in the gym. But the best program is the one you'll actually do. Especially for those of us that aren't like, professional powerlifters or something and need to hit certain lofty numbers.
