A place where comrades can

(1) discuss how best to optimize their physical health and develop “Iron Proletarian Discipline” in a healthy and holistic manner. Including but not limited to weight training, stretching, cardiovascular exercise, meditation, nutrition, sleep, and daily routines with an eye towards cultivating the best habits possible,

(2) share motivational and educational writings or videos; bonus points if the perspective is that of a Communist thinker such as Mao or Fidel Castro, and

(3) discuss the relationship between mental health and exercise.

Rule:

Approach every conversation in good faith.

What fitfluencers do you follow, if any? (lemmygrad.ml)

The world of fitness influencers is filled with weird right wing gymbros who can only seem to promote the mindset of a tumor (that is, constant and unending growth).

Growth, don't get me wrong, is a good thing to aspire when working out. You want to become stronger, fitter, healthier to some degree. However, I sort of miss balanced takes when looking for online fitness figures.

In The Netherlands we have Joel Beukers as the leading fitfluencer. He's known for his dramatic screaming into the camera and selling his own pre workout and protein shakes (filled with insane amounts of cafeine). Lately he's becoming a more AliExpress version of Andrew Tate it seems and things are starting to get to his head. Some time ago he made a vid about 'starting from the bottom' despite growing up in the ultra rich Gooi area of the country. He also drives around in Gold lambo's and stuff.

Anyway, my own goals have shifted from becoming a literal hulk with an eating disorder to maintaining a more balanced lifestyle while also working on my strength, cardio and agility. But I can't seem to find any good online figures to check out for tips. So far the only ones I keep watching are Joe Delaney for routines and Andrew Bernard for (vega) food tips.

So, what people do you guys follow?
