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^.^😮‍💨^

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?"

All pecs all the time is the only thing I can think of.

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.

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 : )
