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?”

A muscle is a muscle, workout however you want. I get weird looks from some idiots when doing hip thrusts sometimes, but I can lift 170kg and my butt looks banging.

Agree with you. Esprecially the hip thrust thing.

Nah do it all,except ones that literally would not work with your body like bending over on the knees without bracing with your hands. That’s something only women are able to do so your face would just fall onto the ground.

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.

A women working out and lifting wont make them masculine or “bulky” same goes for men if you do hip thrusts or those leg spread machine ones you won’t look “feminine”. In fact they are very aesthetic and can help with many lifts or general looks. Don’t sleep on any exercise.

I definitely got some looks when I did that one exercise all the ladies do, the one where you lay under the Smith machine on a block with your upper back, rest the barbell across your hips, and hump the air. They do it because it creates a big booty. I was doing it because strong glutes can help with posture and back pain.

Yes, I’m pretty sure that’s what it’s called. At the gym I went to before I bought a squat rack for home, the Smith machine was right behind the squat rack. Women were always back there doing that exercise, so I looked it up to see what it does. I found out that it’s great for back issues and posture, so I added it to my routine, and got more than a few strange looks, usually from women.

Muscular butts also look good on everyone. I don’t understand why more dudes aren’t doing them.

You get a pretty solid booty doing squats and deadlifts.

It’s good to have options though. I messed up my foot pretty bad and while I can jog a few times a week, deadlifts or squats are right out.

I did some hip thrusts in the gym, thought it might be easier/more comfy to use a power bag instead of a barbell so I did that.

It probably was comfier, but what I didn’t take into account is that the bag rests on your groin and it looks very much like you’re just lying in the gym humping a big pillow.

Stick to the barbell!
