Are there any workouts that men shouldn't do? (lemmy.today)

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^.^๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ^

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?"

IMO: Not really.ย 

Working out is a discipline, and it comes back to having the correct form without getting injured.

Squats are really popular, but getting the right form is really important.

Many people get hurt when doing squats if they do not do them correctly.ย 

In my group, it is important to do upper body workouts so as not to look too skinny and weak, while also doing leg workouts so as not to have chicken legs.

We focus more on continuing to grow as much as we can while making sure not to get injured.

Thanks for the advice

You are welcome!

Do not spend too much time thinking about others; you are working out for a reason, hitting goals, and improving yourself.ย
