Man boobs, or gynecomastia, is a condition caused by:

  • Hormonal imbalance (low level of testosterone and high level of estrogen)
  • Excessed fat

In the first case, the condition should be treated by a medical specialist. In many cases, it occurs during the period of puberty and can disappear on its own when hormonal levels in a teenager's body go back to normal.

If this doesn't happen, and your physical shape excludes the possibility of gynecomastia to be explained by excess weight, you should contact a doctor immediately. A full checkup is recommended in this case, as hormonal imbalance can be a symptom of some serious diseases.

The exercises that will help you get rid of man boobs are:

  1. Take a pair of 15 or 20 pound dumbbells and lie down on a bench inclined at 45 degrees. Your arms, with palms facing each other, should hang straight down. Next, bend your elbows and row the dumbbells to the side of your chest while squeezing the shoulder blades. Repeat the exercise as many times as you can for 30 seconds.
  2. Use a knee-high bench or box and stand about four inches from it. Pick up a dumbbell and hold it in front of your chest, your elbows should be down. Bend your knees, push your hips backward and squat until you sit down on the box. Stay in the position while you can, then stand back up and repeat for 30 seconds.
  3. Your arms straight, with a dumbbell in each hand and your body in a pushup position. Bend your arms and lower your whole body to almost touch the floor. Pause and push back up. When you are about half-way up, pause again and lower your body one more time. Pause and get back in the original position.
    This exercise will be hard, but it will strengthen your muscle, and the results will be well beyond merely fixing your chest problem.
  4. Hold a dumbbell in each arm while standing with your legs shoulder width apart and your knees bent. Swing your arms backward while thrusting the hips forward.
