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?"

I think exercise selection is a pretty personal thing. There are going to be exercises you like that feel good and some that you don't really get into. I'd say mix it up until you find a routine with exercises you enjoy or at least don't mind that still hit the muscle groups that you want.

I don't really know how to answer the rest of it. If you find exercises you enjoy and they are helping you towards whatever your goals are I'd say who cares what people think but that's just me.
