What r/HybridAthlete Is For
This community is for people who are weightlifters, whether they are powerlifters or bodybuilders, and who also enjoy running long distances or doing any other type of cardio exercise. It is a place where members can share their experiences about this type of hybrid training journey.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The two rules that decide whether a marketing adjacent post survives are “No AI” and “No Self-promotion”.
What To Post
A good post here is one where you share your personal training experiences. Talk about how you manage the balance between heavy lifting and cardio. You should focus on the journey and the challenges of hybrid training, not on selling anything.
What To Avoid
You must avoid posting anything that is written by AI. You also must avoid soliciting your coaching site, your instagram, your AI slop vibe coded app, or any other form of self promotion.
A note from Anthony
The rules here are very clear about what is and is not allowed, especially regarding promotion. The “No Self-promotion” rule is strict, so you need to focus entirely on sharing value rather than selling something. Since there are no observed top posts, the community values genuine, non-promotional discussion.
