Are there any workouts that men shouldn't do?

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 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?

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.

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.

gpstarman OP ,

Thank You.

mentality that muscles are for men.

ikr

Delphia ,

A lot of the whole thing about women avoiding exercises because they dont want to look more masculine is ridiculous. Its like putting $50 in a savings account and worrying about the tax implications of your future millions, its not going to happen by accident.

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.

Never had that problem, maybe because I have the thigh-gap body type.

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.

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).

gpstarman OP , (edited )

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.

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.

gpstarman OP ,

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.

nothing wrong with experimenting! if you’re curious about exercises that might give you a more femme shape you may be interested in (warning:reddit) www.reddit.com/r/sissyfitness/ which i’m told is highly inclusive and helpful.

gpstarman OP ,

Probably I’ve worded my question badly. Because, femme shape is the thing that I don’t want.

It might still help, because I can look that subreddit and avoid what is recommended there.

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

gpstarman OP ,

I’m assuming you are wearing something

I do. The struggle is real.😮‍💨

The_Che_Banana ,

Kegels.

gpstarman OP ,

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

If your equipment is being squished, your surface may not have enough give.

gpstarman OP ,

I have to buy a good mat.

xmunk ,

Alternatively, buy a lot of sugary drinks to make the otherside more squishy.

Aurenkin ,

I think exercise selection is a pretty personal thing. There are going to be exercises you like that feel good and some that you don’t really get into. I’d say mix it up until you find a routine with exercises you enjoy or at least don’t mind that still hit the muscle groups that you want.

I don’t really know how to answer the rest of it. If you find exercises you enjoy and they are helping you towards whatever your goals are I’d say who cares what people think but that’s just me.

gpstarman OP ,

Thank You.

cizra ,

Jelqing, for example

gpstarman OP ,

Thank you for your valuable comment.

It would be better if it’s bit long (your comment)
