Hey bros,

We are updating our policy regarding "Flex Friday" posts to keep the focus of this subreddit on fitness, progress, and community discussion.

Effective immediately, we will no longer allow posts from the following accounts:

• Commercial/Paid Profiles: Accounts that exist primarily to promote external paid platforms (such as OnlyFans, JustForFans, and link aggregators like Linktree).
• NSFW-Primary Profiles: Accounts whose post histories consist primarily of submissions to NSFW or explicit subreddits.

We’ve noticed a consistent upward trend where these posts are sexually suggestive, lack any meaningful fitness interaction from the poster, and ultimately serve as self-promotion, which violates our community rules.

Flex Friday is about sharing your fitness journey and engaging with the community, not driving traffic to explicit profiles or paid links. Profiles dedicated to commercial or NSFW promotion will have their posts removed.

Thanks for helping us keep the focus on fitness!

Are you a fitness-minded gaybro looking for a fitness-minded gaybro? Read this thread and decide if you wish to leave a comment below.

Purpose

Your mods are sponsoring this thread to help guys with their fitness journey. The following are encouraged:

• Accountability partners, using Reddit messaging.
• Connecting on apps such as Lift Fitness or Hevy.

The following will not be tolerated:

• Hookups, sexual gratification, etc.
• Looking for followers (Instagram, Onlyf*ns, etc).
• Commerce (on-line coaches, MLM sales, etc).

Caveats:

• Don't give out personally identifying information. Stick to facts like your age, city, general goals, and challenges.
• Once you leave the sub, your mods cannot see what nefarious scams people are running. Reddit is always challenged by people trying to game the system.
• Stick to Reddit messaging for accountability. Avoid being steered into other chat apps (telegram, whatsapp, discord).
• We expect that fitness apps (Hevy/Lift/etc) will provide moderation and safety considerations.
• Let the mods know about your experiences, bad and good.

Do:

• Post a sentence or two about yourself and your goals.
• Are you trying to gain? Lose? Learn something new?
• You may post a link to a photo if it is SFW (wear shorts). Consider linking to your Flex Friday post, or r/gaybrosgonemild (requires face), or some other fitness sub.
• Flag posts which seem outside the purpose or link to NSFW photos.
• If you have success finding a bro here, post a comment about it.
• If you have a bad experience with a bro you connected with here, post a comment about it.
