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?”
RovingFox ( @RovingFox@infosec.pub ) 29•9 months agoThe 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.

I have to buy a good mat.
apotheotic (she/her) ( @apotheotic@beehaw.org ) English8•9 months agoYou 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.

makingStuffForFun ( @makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml ) 7•9 months agoYeah, 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.
sevan ( @sevan@lemmy.ca ) English6•9 months agoAny 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.

Thank you. I’ll never do that in my entire life. I guess I’ll have a good sexual life ahead : )

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.
