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?”
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.
If your equipment is being squished, your surface may not have enough give.
I have to buy a good mat.
Alternatively, buy a lot of sugary drinks to make the otherside more squishy.
You may have never realized, but big ol bubble butt on a dude is considered very attractive lmao especially if it’s muscle.
There’s exercises that might make you leaner instead of bulkier but I don’t think there’s anything that can strictly feminize, I think this is the eternal struggle of self-styled femboys.

I do realize it. But, just wondering whats the limit, cause I’ve seen a dude on Youtube (it’s a clip where the host got distracted by a man walking with a giant butt along with his bodyguards) with a massive butt.
A big butt is masc. Ever seen baseball players? They got nice big butts. They get scouted at least partially on the sizes of their butts.
You will not exercise your way to a truly enormous giant butt. If that’s your goal, I’m sorry that you likely won’t achieve it. You can exercise to a big ol nice butt that can turn heads but I wouldn’t worry about it being “feminizing” cause… plenty og hot dudes have big butts
Thank You.
If you’re doing leg days so much that you’re concerned about having an ass that is really just too big then honestly good for you
As a big ball haver yeah you gotta watch out doing pretty much everything I’m assuming you are wearing something to keep them from going all over the damn place
I’m assuming you are wearing something
I do. The struggle is real.😮💨
I would say the most beneficial thing you could do for yourself instead of investing energy in to avoiding “feminine” workouts, is to work on unlearning the toxic masculinity that has created these false, sexist, and bioessentialist ideas in your mind in the first place.
Once you’ve done that you’ll be free to consider what exercises actually works best for you, rather than what exercises to avoid because you don’t want to be considered “inferior” (by yourself and others who harbour toxic masculinity).
toxic masculinity false, sexist, and bioessentialist ideas you don’t want to be considered “inferior”
I never said or even didn’t have any of these things in my mind.
I don’t know whether this is sExIsT ot not. But I do think there is certain body type that people love to see on their partners. And it differs from person to person. And as a person who just discovering the world, I’m just curious what other people’s opinion is like. And just found out that not everyones’ opinion is worth of my curiosity.
Maybe you should unlearn the way of seeing everything in the lens of toxic masculinity, sexist, inclusivity, etc.
The fact that people are doing this in a conscious manner is pretty weird itself. Like, Is that what people like you got in mind all the times regardless of the context?
Also, I don’t like fact that clumping Masculinity with Toxicity became a exciting hobby for many people for whatever reason that only God may know. Which is sickening.

Thank you for your valuable comment.
It would be better if it’s bit long (your comment)

Thank you.
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.
You are absolutely welcome and best of luck with your workouts!
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.
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.
Which country is that?
United States
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?
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.
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 you want to avoid squishing your junk, I recommend buying some elasticated boxers that are just a LITTLE bit tighter than you would buy for every day wear. Keep your business pulled in close and tight.
As for avoiding workouts… theres a lot to unpack there. The short version is “You have the DNA you have” no amount of a “Bikini body” workout is going to give you tits or a BBL booty and any workout that mentions “Targeted fat loss” is bullshit. Situps do not burn belly fat. Workouts for bodybuilding and workouts for functional strength are different. Workouts for cardio and workouts for conditioning are different.
But what might build a bunch of muscle and functional strength for a 60kg woman might only qualify as a warmup for me, programs written for women will likely be different because (THIS IS NOT SEXISM) men on average carry more muscle as a percentage and less fat. Workouts programmed for women tend to have more cardio and lower weight. Not to say that you couldnt do that workout and hit it with intensity and get results, but its likely to be suboptimal.
If you’re interested in learning more about exercise science Dr Mike Isratel of Renaissance Periodization on YT has some fantastic and easy to digest videos (not exactly geared for beginners but theres some very quality insights if you find the right videos.) As well as James Smith, Dr Pak, Jeff Nippard and their associated friends.
I think the term you’re looking for is called Sexual Dimorphism, and I have only ever heard edge-lord-feminists call it sexism. Most feminists that I have met acknowledge it.
Thank you for the valuable insight.
(THIS IS NOT SEXISM)
It’s sad that you got to mention this specifically. I almost got called sexist in this same comment section for asking this question. 😮💨
Never had that problem, maybe because I have the thigh-gap body type.
Yes, odd question. I’m a lady, and honestly could deadlift and squat and curl all day and never would my body end up looking like a guy’s - like my husband and I could literally do the same exercises and end up looking so different.
I see guys in yoga class all the time and they look lean and fit, not bulky, that’s still a strong and manly look. As my biologist daughter says “testosterone is a hell of a drug.”
I don’t think you can err here, just don’t skip legs and butt.

I’d avoid these types of exercises.
Dang it. I was just planning to do it this weekend.
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.
The analogy I tell people is that getting a look like that without using a specific program and requisite effort is like taking algebra 101 at a community college and expecting to get a PhD in math.
