To use these templates, choose a news topic from a trusted source, fill in the details, and post using the template. Always cite your source and add your own brief insights to spark conversation. End posts with a question or call to action to encourage responses. Rotate between template styles to keep updates fresh and reach different segments of your community.
On all platforms, use eye-catching headlines, include relevant hashtags, and tag authoritative sources when possible. Visuals like infographics or short videos can boost engagement. Pin important news posts or use announcement features to maximize reach.
Use templates to spotlight recent changes from regulatory bodies like the FDA or WADA that affect supplement availability or legality. Ask for members’ experiences with these changes, how they’re adjusting their supplementation protocols, and if they’ve noticed differences in performance or competition compliance.
Share news posts highlighting any updates to IFBB competition criteria, posing requirements, or qualifying events. Prompt members to discuss how these changes will affect their prep routines, coaching strategies, or decisions to compete, fostering expert-level conversation.
Summarize key findings from new sports science research and create posts that translate technical jargon into actionable tips. Invite members to share their own experiences with different hypertrophy or periodization approaches, and encourage respectful debate on applying the latest science to their programs.

Create posts comparing new federations’ rules, judging criteria, and event locations with established organizations. Ask members if they’re interested in these alternatives, if they’ve competed outside of IFBB/NPC, and which formats best support natural bodybuilding, classic physique, or other divisions.
Share timely updates and encourage members to talk about how these changes affect their training routines, access to facilities, or sponsorship opportunities. Use industry news prompts to gather firsthand reports on adapting to gym closures, trying new equipment, or navigating shifts in the sponsorship landscape.
