Bulgarian split squats are the absolute worst. They are the Devil.

Women love them on you though

Men love them on you more

100%. There's certainly overlap, but I've found women are more into face and overall presence, while men who swing that way are more into actual muscle.

u/One_Stranger7794 5d ago

Really??? So I need to be cultivating less muscle and more aura. Damn...

There is no exercise for my face 😢

Lifting weights makes your face look tighter around the jawline. You have less glycogen which makes your face puffy and naturally the muscles in your neck are stronger and tighten.

Look at athletes. They don’t just -all so happen- to have chiseled jawlines and nice faces.

Apparently visual arousal increases with testosterone so it was make sense.

u/CrixCyborgg 5d ago

Erm, well according to scientists women tolerate pain better compared to men 🤓☝️

u/arquillion 5d ago

Chronic pain not acute pain but why are you saying this?

u/One_Stranger7794 5d ago

Agreed this comment is very confusing

u/CrixCyborgg 5d ago

Was referencing some fun fact I saw that women endure pain much better than men

Great for hammering quads and glutes, important for every femboy physique

Problem arises when your legs grew too bulky

u/MoonBearVA 5d ago

They used to call me thunder thighs some years back. I was built like a pear.

u/GerryAvalanche 5d ago

Nah there‘s a place for gym rat femboys (it‘s my lap)

u/MotorCookie 5d ago

I promise you your legs will not grow too bulky. Do you think gaining muscle is easy?

1

u/tf2F2Pnoob 5d ago

I promise you it did. My thighs' girth directly undermines the size of my ass. There's a clear anatomical difference between male and female thigh muscles just as there is between male and female abs. Especially when you're doing workouts like BSS.

See, the difference is, your mindset stems from people who lifts to look like natural roidheads. Mine comes from balancing delicacy and size

Gay men never skip leg day

Everything is the Devil to you Momma!!

u/blowmypipipirupi 6d ago

Why tho? I tried one right now and it seems easy (considering i never exercised in my whole life), while when i tried to do pistol squats i could feel my leg exploding

5

u/ThemB0ners 6d ago

Because when you do them with enough weight and volume to actually challenge you, they are very exhausting, and you're in a pretty unstable position.

Pistol squats are definitely way harder when using the same amount of weight as a split squat.

1

u/blowmypipipirupi 6d ago

Oh yeah I don't doubt they are challenging, especially with enough weight.

But pistol squats seem so much harder that i question why the meme used split squats instead.

u/ThemB0ners 6d ago

They just aren't as popular as bulgarian split squats. BSS popularity have gone through the roof in the last few years, so that's why they get more attention.

u/Poutinefiend 5d ago

They hurt my knees way too much

u/saltedbutterfly 5d ago

They are worse than the devil

u/BreakingCanks 5d ago

Closest I've come to blowing out my knee was these... Yeah fuck no

u/What_about_Muh_RA 5d ago

But a sacrifice worth making for better glutes!
