Discussion Divot in lower back makes… strange noises

3 Upvotes

I encounter a strange problem at the gym and wanted to know if it was just me😅 My fat distribution and musculature almost forms a sort of divot in my lower back running along my spine. This spot forms a pocket of air when I support my back on something (ie: hack squat) and when I brace my core and straighten my back, said air releases and sounds like an armpit fart. It’s muted a little by my shirt, but everyone at my gym probably thinks I’m constantly ripping fat ones. Is it just me?

Exercise Advice Request Workout for more masculine build

0 Upvotes

Hey guys, so i just started my journey as figuring out who i am. I am not on T, but i have short hair, i bind, i dress masculine and i never liked my female body. Now i wanna start working out again cuz i am finally able to again. For the info im in my early twenties, i am 5"3 and weight about 123ibs. even though i'm on a healthy weight i gained 11ibs in a year and my body has become more female like my thighs got bigger and my stomach is bloaded. I always wanted bigger arms and wider shoulders. Does anyone have like a working out schedule i can do to achieve this? if not, any other tips? i really wish for a more masculine build and i'm not mentally ready to start T. PS: I'm talking about work out that i can do in the gym with the equipment they have there.
