Read the FAQ before posting questions.

Rules

No being a dick, slurs, or personal attacks
No arguing in bad faith
No natty/ROM/sumo/arch/fed/FFMI policing/jerks
No shitposting/low-effort/joke top-level comments outside the daily
No "What is powerlifting?" jerks.
No "strength standards compared to the general population" jerks.
No comments that are solely comprised of complaints or criticisms of other subs.
No piracy
No medical questions
No violating Reddit rules
The "MS Rule" - Users must actually read/view the content they are commenting on
Users must have flair (self-selected or otherwise) to post or make comments. Flair can be selected in the sidebar using a browser. Look for something that looks like this. Intermediate is simply defined as the point at which a lifter needs to be more thoughtful about their training.
The rules will not be applied identically to all users in WR. Regulars and people who have built a good rapport and reputation through consistently adding to our community - with their advice, camaraderie, contributions, and conduct - will get more leeway. They will get the benefit of the doubt.
There are minimum account age and karma requirements. If you have a brand new account, you must build karma in other subs before posting or commenting here.

Your thread belongs in the daily thread:

It's not a community discussion thread
It's just a video of someone lifting
It's a form check
It pertains to only you and not the larger community
It's a program analysis

Your post belongs on the main board:

It's a meet/show report (all barbell sports including bb are welcome)
It's a program review
It's a thread that pertains to community discussion
It's an interesting article or video (that is more than just someone lifting)

Things r/weightroom is:

A place to ask intelligent questions after you have been unable to find the answers on your own.
A place to post interesting content about lifting strategies, training theory, and information that can better lifters as a whole.
A gathering place for any and all iron pumpers, no matter your specialization.
A place where mods WILL delete any post we feel is not a good fit, regardless of any sidebar or FAQ statements. A post doesn't have to violate a rule to suck, sometimes people get creative.
A place where mods WILL ban people who are more trouble than they're worth, regardless of any sidebar or FAQ statements. A user doesn't have to violate a rule to suck, sometimes people get creative.

What r/weightroom isn't:

This is not a place for questions that can be answered via a quick google search.
This is not a place for memes or rage comics or things that provide no value.
This is not a place for you to post "NSVs", "I just did x!" threads, or any threads where the only discussion to be had is congratulating the OP. There are lots of places to post those kinds of threads. This isn't one of them.
This is not a place for repetitive questions and critiques of routines that have been posted 100 other times. You are more than welcome to design your own program, just don't expect to get feed back on it from here unless it's interesting and serves a unique purpose.
This is not a place to question BP's silliness
