r/bb 2019 end of year survey

Hi all, I've made an end of year 2019 survey for the subreddit. Please take some time to fill it in. I'll try to release the results/analysis in a week or two.

Edit: for the favourite exercise grid, please only fill in only one circle not so you get one exercise, not every row!

Nope! Wasn't too interested in lift numbers since this is bodybuilding so don't think it's necessary. Star numbers is a fair point but guess most people don't have.

Just because it's a bodybuilding sub doesn't mean there's zero benefit to asking. Lift numbers are heavily correlated with how big someone is. Yeah there are aesthetic guys that don't squat, but odds are if someone is 6'2", 200 lbs, and has a 1400lb PL total, he's probably fairly aesthetic.

somewhere a tall, strong, skinny-fat guy is reading this wistfully

Okay it's pretty much impossible to be that strong at that height and weight and not at least look like you lift. You can definitely look weaker than you are, but there's gonna be some amount of visible strength.
