afaik u usually need weights and such to progressively gain more muscle in the lower body but if i use weights then i’ll simultaneously get muscle gain in the arms such as the deltoid muscles and i don’t want that. i also wanna avoid building muscle on the side of my hips so i don’t get the man waist

thank you, very in detail. i appreciate it much. /gen /pos
but what does active carry mean? i dont think i recognize this term. also, i kinda won’t be able to use machines since i definitely cant go the the gym since im not about to gym in a hoodie+bad posture and i need that to manmode if im in public, so thats kinda why i made the post lol

hm yeah well then active carry is what i assumed would naturally happen when using weights.
and i suppose going to the gym would be possible with a hoodie, though if i am to go to the gym often ill certainly need more sets of clothing specifically for that as i cant wash them every day and buying that would be quite a large investment and such it will have to wait until after ffs
ty very much for all the help tho
I think that if you’re holding weights while doing squats it still is just working the glutes and not doing work for the upper body, at least that’s been my experience!
no yeah it will definitely mostly work lower body musculature your upper body wpuld still have to be active enough to hold the weights n such, no?
I mean it seems like it should work that way, I get so confused by the way bodies work. But when I looked up on youtube all the excercises to do with the hand weights, they’d all say to do this for glutes. I can’t say if they’re correct because I have poor discipline but it really seemed like they all knew what they were talking about and they didnt have big arms
hope ur right, ty
