Hello comrades and welcome to the first improvement megathread of 2025! bonfire

This marks the first full year of megathreads since the first one was posted on Jan 7th 2024. Shout out to everybody who participated in the threads in the past year.

It's the first thread of the year so here are some ideas for discussion:

  • How was your 2024?
  • Do you have some any goals for January?
  • Do you have some plans for 2025?

Thank you (leg press and hip ab/adduction and glute kickbacks are like, my only good/impressive lifts lol, for my size and build I'm really noodly armed naturally and ridiculously disproportionate strength wise in favor of my legs and then that kinda compounds itself into enjoying training legs way more and neglecting push day stuff for arms and chest because they suck for me and I get frustrated with them)

(Also deleted the pics because I realized I was somewhat visible in the window reflection, my bad)

Self Improvement

315 readers
14 users here now

A community which focusses on improving yourself. This can be in many different ways - from improving physical health or appearance, to improving mental health, creating better habits, overcoming addictions, etc.

While material circumstances beyond our control do govern much of our daily lives, people do have agency and choices to make, whether that is as "simple" as disciplining yourself to not doomscroll, to as complex as recreating yourself to have many different hobbies and habits.

This is not a place where all we do is talk about improving "productivity" (in a workplace context) and similar terms and harmful lifestyles like "grindset". Self-improvement here is intended to make you a generally better and happier person, as well as a better communist, and any other roles you may have in your life.

Rules and guidelines:

  1. Posts should be about self-improvement. This is obviously a wide category, and can range from advice, to finding resources, to self-posts about needing to improve in a certain area, or how you have improved, and many other things.

  1. Use content warnings when discussing difficult subjects.

  1. Do not make medical decisions solely because of a discussion you have had with any person here (e.g. whether to take or not take medications; diagnoses; etc.) as we do not vet people. All medical problems should be discussed with a real-life medical professional.

  1. Do not post harmful advice here. If this is seen, then please report it and we shall remove it. If you are unsure about whether it's precisely harmful advice or not but feel uneasy about it, please report it anyway.

  1. Do not insult other users and their lifestyles or their habits (unless they ask, I suppose). This is a place for self-improvement. Critique and discussion about a course of action is encouraged over shit-flinging. Don't talk down to people.
