Alternatively just find a woman that loves suckling on those titties of yours.
Ha, there not majorly huge, just the rest of me seems almost to be the right shape (give or take) and It puts me off wearing tight tshirts. Have been sticking to a pretty healthy diet tho and no beer during the week. Almost tempted to do a weekly photo type thing but I'd figure the piss taking would require more in counseling...

If you have the real gynaecomastia training will not reduce the size. Mainly it will emphasize it due the the pec muscle pushing the breast tissue out more. Surgery is the only option.
If the tissue is hard behind the nipple its gynaecomastia.
If its softer than its more lightly to be excess fat store.
Yet again if this bothers you an if it is fat lipo is good for a target area. if training doesn't sort it.

It's pretty soft to be fair.

Theres a tiny hard bit but I'm assuming thats normal!

There was/is a theory that moobs were on the increase because of drinking water having an increased oestrogen level from women using the pill.

This (arguably) provides a more balanced view.

I thought I had gyno for a while as even when my bodyfat was lowish, I still had a sort of pointy bit at the end of my chest lol. It was only when my bodyfat came right the way down after a good 6 months of keto and hard training that they went and I realised to my relief it had just been bodyfat. The thing with moobs is that I think, like other stubborn bodyfat deposits, the longer you've had them the harder they are to shift. I'd been overweight since school and always had them, and they were pretty much the last place the fat went from. Shame you can't spot reduce it (other than surgery lol).

Exercise should do it.


As an aside, this man had surgery when his genetics start to give him moobs.
What bf% is this guy at?

Bearing in mind perfect lighting and photo has probably been fiddled with I'd say 15-16%.

Also how did his genetics start to give him moobs? Nothing to do with anabolic steroid-induced gyno then?!

I recall hearing (at the time) that what he was getting happens to Samoans.
99.9% of wrestlers take steroids. Rock is the only one I have heard off going to get surgery for breast reduction.
Not saying he didn't take them, not saying they didn't have an effect. Also not saying it was 100% drugs that did it.biggrin

This is reassuring to know. I'd wouldn't say I was "fat" as such. As in, I don't have a huge gut.

All of his cousins have them. But they're also a lot chunkier than him.

Stinkface!biggrin
Yeah, it meant he wore a shirt for a while which was pretty cool. I know he was nowhere near as chunky as his cousins, but back when he hit as Rocky Mavia in 1996 he certainly wasn't ripped and had a healthy layer of fat. Changed his image a while later.

We are talking about ' The most electrifying man in Sports Entertainment ' biggrin

The Rock is a great Wrestler who still entertains when he does a wrestlemania comeback, one of the best being his fight with Stone cold Steve Austin which he finished with repeated Rock Bottoms biggrin

Just train upper chest and avoid the man boob machines - pec dec, pec fly, bench press etc; anything that hits the middle chest will give a more pronounced moob.
