>Pilates is a body conditioning routine that may help build flexibility, muscle strength, and endurance in the legs, abdominals, arms, hips, and back.[4] It puts emphasis on spinal and pelvic alignment, breathing, and developing a strong core or center, and improving coordination and balance.

What's muscular imbalance? I've become stronger everywhere, not only arms, doing pushups
>>10543739
Yes, its fucking boring. I do 25 a time, and it takes less than a minute. you should just break up the power ups as you see fit. when I started I did 20 a day, in four parts of 5. when you start to get used to you add more little by little.
gyms are fucking boring and gay.

It's when one muscle is stronger than the opposing one

Pushups only works a few muscles, by doing hundreds of them each day and nothing else, you are training only these few muscles.

For example, maybe now you don't have any problems, but you'll end up with an overtly developed chest in comparison to your back. It's not just a question of aesthetics, you have more chance of getting injured with muscular imbalance.

[Anonymous No.]

I wish I could have a girlfriend as fit as that Youmu; but I know it wont be possible when I am skinny-fat and incredibly weak. Not only can I not attract a girl who actually cares about her body, I have to feel the constant shame of being weaker than the average woman.

Time to start exercising! I shall buy a jump rope and do some push ups on a regular basis. Once I am at the point where I want more, I will go lift weights.

Baby steps!

[Anonymous No.]

You are not going to develop muscles doing push-ups.

[Anonymous No.]

First of all, you won't get "stronger" past a certain point doing pushups.

Your endurance will improve, and you will get better at doing lots of pushups, but you won't get stronger without actually increasing the resistance.

I'm pretty sure pushup don't really improve your overall "strength", it only makes you have large shoulders, which are a pain.

Well, I didn't consider Youmu to be particularly muscular even if she is fit.

[Anonymous No.]

According to this attached image, Yuomu is roughly 5 feet tall. Judging from how she looks slender in almost all art, I would not place her weight above 115 lb.
http://www.exrx.net/Testing/WeightLifting/SquatStandards.html states that an "Intermediate" level squat for a 115 lb woman would be roughly 115 lb.
I chose "Intermediate" because she does not appear to be muscular.

She swings two long heavy swords around all the time. That will most definitely build muscle.

Rampant steroid abuse distorts the public view of "muscular." Non-doped muscular people don't look very extraordinary in loose clothes like Youmu's dress shirt and skirt. For reference, here's a 53 kg olympic hopeful.

Yes. Trust me, as an avid weightlifter, I know how ignorant the average person can be of the field.

>Non-doped muscular people don't look very extraordinary in loose clothes like Youmu's dress shirt and skirt.
I am aware of this. I'll explain my reasoning for me claiming she is not "muscular" --
Going by ZUN's art (which, I'd like to add, most fanart adheres to), Yuomu's forearms and calves do not appear to show any muscle at all, which, given her low body fat, should be visible. Furthermore, she has no shoulder/trap development at all. Obviously there is a big gray area here (I'm analyzing how muscular a touhou is, for fuck's sale, why am I doing this, oh god help me) given that ZUN's artistic abilities frankly suck and that he probably wouldn't even know how to draw a slightly-muscular character.

I'd like to thank you for that picture. I hadn't thought of her, but she seems a good comparison to Yumou. Ms. Wright is roughly 5' and 116 lb, which is similar to my estimation of Yuomu. But you can just look at her arms and calves (two parts of the body that are also visible in official art of Yumou) and see that she is more muscular.
Unfortunately I cannot find how much Ms. Wright squats.

This is where I have to disagree. Even Yuugi has noodle limbs and flat chest in official art and yet everyone accepts her as a muscle and titty monster. I think that Youmu's active, martial, premodern lifestyle would naturally make her, and even demand her to be, quite strong and that is better starting base than ZUN's scribbles.
Olympic style? I'm a powerlifter

you can have muscles and still be soft, cutting fat is more for weight divisions and bodybuilding, moreover a lot of muscle mass is distributed over the thighs

But won't I also gain muscle mass?

What's the training regime best suited to have a feminine body type? I'm afraid of trying anything because my figure might become more masculine, but I'm also afraid of getting a disproportionate big gut. So far I am skinny without muscle mass and no noticeable fat, but not only am I afraid of that changing, I would also like to try a healthier lifestyle without it destroying how I look. I'm not looking to get it on with guys or girls. I just like this particular body type.

I'm sorry of hijacking this thread with this question but I'm sure /fit/ will bully me for asking something like this.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10544523
You want a more feminine body type?

Try swimming and running, with a bit of weight lifting.

Swimming and running builds resistance and may also give you that toned, feminine look you're going for.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10544523
>What's the training regime best suited to have a feminine body type?

Squats, along with glute and hamstring isolation. This will give you defined legs and butt while keeping the rest of your body relatively skinny.

I'm really sorry for making these questions. They sound like they make sense to me but they might sound stupid to knowledgeable people like you and >>10544532 seem to be.

Won't I have disproportionate-looking legs then? And muscled, on top of it? I want to avoid gaining too much muscle. And will that work on my waistline, avoiding me getting that fat belly I mentioned?

I've been considering flexibility exercises as well to help with my posture. I take it flexibility exercises don't reallt have any noticeable effect on how your body looks. Is this correct?

[Anonymous No.]

Broke a 112.5kg squat this week for 3 sets of 5. Feeling pretty confident about 115kg on Friday. I have 300 days to break a 180kg squat.

Trying to get a .75 bodyweight press in the same time frame. Pressing 3 times a week has helped a lot.

I'm doing Pavel's grease the groove on pull ups. Trying it for dips - but I have a feeling it's going to interfere with linear progress on the press.

Big thing is to just keep eating big and sleeping well, which I have messed up a little.Things would be easier if I were still a NEET.

>>10544563
>Won't I have disproportionate-looking legs then? And muscled, on top of it?

No. There's some trans girl on /fit/ with a smokin hot ass (would fug) and she squats about 140kg which is more than the majority of guys in the gym so you don't have to worry. You would see if you were getting too muscular and could stop anyway

>avoiding me getting that fat belly

Nothing will stop you getting fat other than not eating too much, exercise helps you work off your food though!

>I take it flexibility exercises don't reallt have any noticeable effect on how your body looks

It may improve your posture which would be noticeable but it will not affect the size of any of your body parts

Thank you very much for your help, mister! I'll have the coolest body ever! I know I can't win the race against time and hormones but I only intend to have this body type for as long as it can last.

>Nothing will stop you getting fat other than not eating too much

Yeah, I know that much. But if those exercises you suggested don't help burning fat on the sides, then I guess I'll throw in some sit-ups to the regimen you suggested. I don't have any so far but you can't be too careful.

I may lurk /fit/ and ask that girl for some more specific advice. Though she probably went further than I'll ever want to go.
