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?"

Do anything that gets you in the gym! Please, please, please don’t ego lift and watch videos and read books on proper form. It only takes one slip up to screw everything up. I was lifting one day as a matter of habit, but shouldn’t have been because I was in a bad mental state that week and was over tired and exhausted from a long weekend before of hiking and manual labor. Got sloppy and lazy and been dealing with back issues ever since including multiple procedures and surgeries.
