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 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.

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

        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.
