I know this is a weird question. But I’m just wondering. Please don’t kill me.
I do body weight exercises. And finding it harder to do exercises that want me to lay down on my front side. Because, my ____ is squishing.😮💨
Also, there is a stupid stigma that exercise makes women more masculine. But are there any workouts that make a man look feminine? Like, it would be bit weird to see a BLL sized butt on a man, right?
This question came to my mind when I saw a workout plan in my app. The plans’ name is “Bikini Body”. I was like, “I should probably stay away from this. But what happens if I did it anyway?”

The stigma with excersises make women more masculin is because of the mentality that muscles are for men. Excersises will change your body and they will give you a new image but depends on you how you want to view it and choose people around you that view it the same way.
Thank You.
mentality that muscles are for men.

The only one is being aware of good artery health and reducing overexertion as it can significantly increase your risk of stroke, and that the Navy has phased out crunches and sit-ups due to consistent spine injury, and the Marines later followed.
I’m no military lover, but if the people trying to exercise the people to fight our wars are phasing something out for health concerns… that’s pretty significant.
I can see why Crunches affect spine…
Thank you.

Totally! Exercise well :)
Thank you.
Unrelated Question: Why are US military called marines, but also have separate navy?
- averyminya ( @averyminya@beehaw.org ) 1•2 months ago
If I’m not mistaken, I believe the Marine Corps is a specific department of the Navy, and are typically the first on the ground for special operations and are stationed at a lot of the U.S. embassies. The Navy as a whole is more focused on the sea and shorelines, and the Marines cover land and sea.
I don’t know much more than that, I’m not a huge military person haha
Thank you.
Asked this because in almost all the movies, they say “I’m ex Marine” and not Army or Airforce or something else.
- averyminya ( @averyminya@beehaw.org ) 2•2 months ago
Definitely! Yeah the Marines are pretty hardcore, so if someone is proud of being a Marine it’s because even the basic training puts people through a really rigorous program, moreso than the Navy and some other military departments.

If your equipment is being squished, your surface may not have enough give.
I have to buy a good mat.

You should do workouts that align with your workout goals. If you’re a man and you wanna do workouts that are gonna give you a dump truck ass and juicy thighs then fucking go for it. If you’re a woman and you wanna do workouts that are gonna give you a body like Schwarzenegger, fucking go for it! If you wanna do workouts that are gonna do very little for your physical appearance but leave you fitter and healthier, do those!
Your workout plans should align with your workout goals, and your workout goals shouldn’t be dictated by what someone else thinks isn’t appropriate for your gender.
Thank you.

Yeah, listen, I was doing my own exercises and I was everyday watching my wife doing her exercises, and then I realised “holly hell she is exercising way harder than I am”, and working muscle groups that I really wanted to work so I gave up my routine and joined hers.

Any fitness physique you see on Instagram (male or female) took a ton of effort to achieve (and possibly some pharmaceutical or surgical assistance). You can pick any routine in the world and you are not at risk of looking like that unless you are really dedicated to it.

If you want a aesthetic bodybuilder body then don’t train abs, go light on legwork. This gives you a V shape and makes your frame look massive. Personally I don’t like the imbalance and false strength that comes with it.
IMO do legs but don’t over do it and end up with a out of proportion bubble butt or you’ll look like a gayman. I also don’t like the look of massive traps but you won’t get them without roids so don’t worry.
Other than that I think men should train every muscle and focus on being all round strong. Don’t worry about looking fem the only thing you can over train is your ass and the fix is as simple as not training it.

Kegels.

In men, these muscles are responsible for urinary continence, fecal continence, and ejaculation
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kegel_exercise
Men absolutely can do pelvic floor exercises, and especially if they’re having issues, they absolutely should.
You ever see an old guy at the urinal with a paper towel in his hand? That is a guy who needs to do kegel exercises… You ever wonder why you see paper towels in the urinal sometimes? f****** are slacking on their kegel exercises

A properly toned 60 year old should be able to hit a bird in flight from 20 paces with a direct stream of urine.
I think they are just joking. like some other guy said jelqing.
Thank you. I’ll never do that in my entire life. I guess I’ll have a good sexual life ahead : )

All pecs all the time is the only thing I can think of.
If you want to be particularly manly I’d say go for the cobra muscles (lats, traps, delts) and everyone loves a good butt so don’t skip leg day.
