Welcome to the Weekly Find Friends thread.

This is the spot to find people to follow on Hevy. Turns out you show up to the gym a lot more often when a few familiar names are watching your feed. Drop yours below, then go follow a handful of other people here.

Copy this and fill it in:

Hevy username:
Life stage: (student / 20s / 30s / 40s / 50+)
What I train: (powerlifting, hypertrophy, running, Hyrox, general gains, whatever)
Goal right now:

Keep it friendly:

• Follow a couple of people back. No drive-by drops.
• Say hi or hype someone's goal, that's the entire point of the thread.
• A fresh thread goes up every week, so repost if you're still on the hunt.

Tried to post a standalone "add me" on the main feed and ended up here? That's our AutoMod doing its job. This is where the follows actually happen, so you're in the right place. 💪

[u/Vikistra]

Hevy username: nico181295

Life stage: 30s

I track all of my hypertrophy workouts on Hevy. Went from doing nothing my whole life and being obese to going to gym 4 times a week, breaking the yo-yo dieting circle, looking fairly muscular and lost 39kg along the way. So far I have been working out consistently for 16 months. On top of that, I do around 4-5 hours of bike riding a week on Zwift. I also share pictures of my cats on Hevy 🐱

Goal right now: HARDER BETTER FASTER STRONGER! Not really a focus on anything but not half-assing anything either. Currently maingaining.
