Are there any workouts that men shouldn't do? (self.fitness)

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?"

I would argue that you should go out of your way to do hip thrusts or any other butt strengthen exercise. Strong glutes help back pain and posture. Try to strengthen your whole posterior chain of muscles.

Some guys skip hip thrusts or glute bridges, but they are dumb. Chicks like butts too. A strong butt won't make you look feminine. Strong glutes help with your thrusting motion. It helps generate more power when you thrust. Does that sound feminine or could you think of another reason why you would want a stronger thrust?

But also fuck the haters. Find what feels good. Work on controlled movements and try to go through a full range of motion. Don't get injured.

If you are doing body weight stuff, look into sissy squats, if you haven't. I don't do too many of them, but they are tough.

Thank you.

sissy squats

I never thought there will be something like this.
