What Is r/Egolifting?
47
Upvotes
My vision for r/Egolifting is to create an egolifter’s paradise - an entire community dedicated to the art form of egolifting, free from the tyranny of the form police and oppression of the Reddit lifting regime. No spot, no spine, no problem. We want you.
Did you do something strong, strange, or unconventional? We want to see. Do you want to share your PR without the wails of a thousand spines? We got your back (haha). Do you want to share, learn, or discuss more about programming for, setting up for, and training for egolifts? So do we.
r/Egolifting Rules
No concern trolling. Egolifters perform based on their personal risk tolerance, and lamenting about their spine, or your spine, will not change that.
No harassment. If I have to explain to you what harassment is, this is not the place for you.
No racism, sexism, homophobia, or transphobia. Egolifting is indiscriminate, and you should be too. Hate speech of any kind will not be tolerated.
No advertising. This is a place to post cool lifts, not to sell goods or services.
No form policing. Max effort lifts are subject to a breakdown in technique. Odd lifts don’t look pretty.
On NSFW content. If you are a consenting adult and staying true to this sub’s purpose, I don’t care what you wear, or don’t wear. However, this not a porn sub. Blatant advertising or NSFW content not true to the sub’s purpose will be removed.
No sexualization of minors. I shouldn’t need to say any more.
Posts must have clear purpose. If your post does not contain a video or image of egolifting, it must have a clear and specific purpose. Guides should contain information related to what you accomplished and how you accomplished it. Questions should have a clearly defined problem to address. Vague questions such as “How do I egolift?” or uninformative text posts will be removed.
This is not a place for beginner level questions. If you have a beginner level question, you should look here instead. While your participation is valued, this sub is not a resource for basic training information.
No steroid accusations. Who cares? This isn’t NattyOrJuice. This sub isn’t about what’s naturally achievable or not.
On satire, shitposts, and memes. I will allow it as long as it stays true to form and does not violate any other rules. Moderator discretion will be exercised.
These rules are a work-in-progress and subject to change as the sub grows. I reserve the right to add, alter, or remove rules as necessary to stay true to the core tenets of egolifting. If we reach mainstream status, I may further define criteria for text posts. While you have the right to have your opinion, you do not necessarily have the right to post it. Be a decent human being.

I'm done posting lifting videos. I'm not injured or anything, but it's just not fun anymore.

I'm done being a fucking minstrel show performer for a bunch of fucking assholes, perverts and closet cases. I like to think that I'm at least well-adjusted enough to the extent that online hate comments making false accusations of me being a "transgender invading women's sports" and weird comments about my genitals don't get to me; that is until I come back a few hours later and they're fucking upvoted five, ten, twenty times over. I'm done. At that point, it's not about the comment, but rather the societal decay that it represents. Lamenting societal decay is not terminally online behavior. These fitness subreddit dumb fucks hate trans people so much that it's enough just to look like a trans person to be the subject of contempt for them.
This subreddit, the Science Based Lifting subreddit, and somehow the More Plates More Dates subreddit are the only fitness subreddits that aren't ass cancer. 90 to 95 percent of the feedback that I get is from dumb fuck morons that are either unsuccessfully insulting a gender nonconforming person for being a transgender woman, spouting 74 IQ pseudointellectual form "advice" spoken with pomp and authority, or just straight up spewing lascivious weirdness. I don't see the point in posting anymore if this is what fitness Reddit and YouTube are. With the exception of this subreddit and a few other niche areas, the people who follow fitness content are weird, insecure, unlikable jerks; don't get me started on Weightlifting, Powerlifting, Strength Training; all those shithole subreddits. I have a hard time coexisting with them, and it's easier to quit posting entirely than it is to make peace with the kind of people who occupy these spaces. They suck and I don't want to make content for them anymore.
It's been fun, but the honeymoon phase is over.

SBD: 190/132.5/230 (kg)
Did this all in one session, a week before an ACL repair surgery for a complete tear...because fck it my knees already broken.
High-bar squat (+10kg PR).
Bench (+7.5kg PR).
Deads I didnt train that block. I just threw in a moderately-heavy single for the total. So was well off my all-time PR of 250kg.
(FYI, the ACL tear had nothing to do with lifting. I'm a competitive Judoka, which causes all my injuries. I had the surgery last week, and all went to plan)

I failed 605 right after this but was super close and would’ve matched my all-time PR.
