You can utilize the Would You Rather templates to present classic training split dilemmas, such as 'Would you rather follow a push/pull/legs routine or a full-body workout plan?' This not only encourages engagement but also allows members to justify their preferences, share experiences, and discuss the science behind different approaches. Make sure to encourage respectful discussion and highlight that there's no single best method for everyone.
Nutrition is a hot topic among bodybuilders, so Would You Rather posts like 'Would you rather bulk with clean foods or go for a dirty bulk for faster gains?' can generate strong opinions.
