Help! Can't isolate the kegels muscle for training.

So I'm male, and I started to try to do kegels 5 days ago and I still can't isolate and train just that muscle.

​

I tried the stopping urine method, multiple times. And while I think I found the muscle, I simply can't contract it without using my butts, or my lower abs, or both.

​

I tried lying on my back, on my side, standing in the peeing pose ...etc and I still can't do it. And I notice I can't relax my butts when trying to actually stop urine stream either. After 5 days I feel like I'm gonna have 50 packs butts instead of good pelvic floor muscle.

​

So any guys has any tips for this?

​

Is there a specific exercise/pose that makes it easier ?

​

Do my butts have to be perfectly relaxed or is it ok to tense the part near the crack and anus? Same for the abs, is a little tensing of the lower abs ok?
