So, I’m 19 and i have had these puffy manboob nipples since i was like 14. its been really annoying because everytime i have had to take my shirt off, i had to like rub them to make them hard and not puffy. Anyway, so i have been working out a lot more lately, and eating healthier, what are some good ways that i can combat these man boobs?
No exercises will get rid of man boobs (in medical terms – gynecomastia)……..it is natural for everyone ,they fade away when we reach 18yrs.but in some cases they dont.a simple surgery is the only reliable solution after crossing 18yr mark.
*also serum testosterone,lh,fsh ,(sometimes karyotyping also)tests are recommended to find out if there are any abnormalities (genetic abnormalities)

Are you looking for a fast, convenient, and effective way to exercise right from the privacy of your own home? Exercising using just your bodyweight is a great alternative to gyms, weights, machines, and other expensive equipment. Let’s take a look at several of the basics and benefits of bodyweight exercises for women.
Basic Exercises:
Push-ups are a great way to exercise your chest, shoulders, and arms. They also exercise your abs, back, and legs, as well as a variety of other stabilizer muscles. Give them a try in the traditional position or do them with your knees on the ground (when just getting started), and experience for yourself all the different muscles being exercised.
Crunches are fantastic way to isolate and exercise your abdominal area. Crunches are similar to sit-ups, but they isolate your stomach muscles better. Simply lie down with your back on the floor and your legs (bent at the knees) in the air. Cross your feet at the ankles, cross your arms on your chest (with each hand on opposite shoulder), and attempt to sit up by moving your torso and head toward your legs. Slowly go up as far as you can, and then slowly come back down. (Tip: Don’t come down all the way…this will allow you to keep constant tension on your abs and get the best results).
Squats are great bodyweight exercises for women. They isolate the major muscle groups of your upper legs and butt, as well as a variety of stabilizer muscles. The basic squat can be done by standing with your feet shoulder with apart, with back straight, head looking up (not down), hands behind head, and, keeping your weight centered over your legs with your heels on the ground, slowly bend at the knees until your upper legs and butt are parallel to the ground. Hold that position for a moment and then slowly return to your starting position.
Lunges are another exercise that really get results. Start in a standing position with your feet just slightly apart. Keep your weight well-centered so you do not lose your balance. Take a long stride forward with either leg until the knee of your opposite leg barely touches the ground, hold position for just a moment, and shift your weight backwards, returning to your starting upright position. Then repeat with your opposite leg. This will really target your thighs (front and back) and your derriere.
These are some great basic bodyweight exercises for women. These 4 exercises should really help you get started on targeting your core muscles. Both push-ups and squats can be done in slight variations (depending on how close or far apart your hands and/or feet are positioned), and can place more emphasis on different parts of your targeted areas. With push-ups you can target inner our outer chest, and inner and outer thighs can be targeted with squats.
There are also some nice benefits of doing bodyweight exercise. You never have to go to the gym to workout. This saves you time and money, and makes it very convenient to exercise. Another key benefit is you do not have to use or purchase weights and exercise equipment, which can be dangerous to use or expensive to purchase on your own. All of these exercises can be done in the privacy of your own home, allowing you to feel much more comfortable than you might at a gym where you may have an audience. You can do a bodyweight workout no matter where you are, at home or out of town, making it a very convenient and efficient way to exercise.
The biggest benefit is that all of these bodyweight exercises for women will help you get the results you desire. Looking to gain muscle? Wanting to shape and sculpt your legs? Hoping to tone up your butt? Maybe you are trying to firm up your chest, abs, and arms. More than likely you really want all of the above…a whole new and improved you, so to speak. Well, you can have it, and it won’t cost you a fortune. Simple bodyweight exercises are really all you need.
But there is one important key. You need to take action and get started. You are now officially out of excuses. So get started with some of these basic exercises today and start experiencing the benefits and results as soon as possible. You will be glad you did.

i’d like to work out my shoulders, back, and chest, but only have 1 dumbbell. What are some good exercises.
I have been doing dumbbell exercises for 6 years (since I was in 7th grade) and I have tuned them well. I do bicep curls while standing up (biceps, obviously), shrugs (stand with arm down with bell, then lift shoulder only as high as can up past neck), and laying down to do a half bench press – high reps. I use two bells because it lowers tension and stress on the back (results from imbalance), and it is a huge timesaver (about half, of course). I also use them for push-ups while my feet are on a chair for maximum chest exercises, as well as hundreds of curls. Just with these exercises, my workout is 25 mins a day and I have gone from using 8 pounders to 50 pounders in that time, only every other day, and still rising. Good luck.

At the moment I am working on 50kg benchpress. I do 50 sets of 10 and have seen some improvement in the last two months. My last bar had 30kg and so i have improved. My body is quite big to gain muscle so I dont’t take any supplements and have a regualr diet with protien rich food. I want some tips on how regularly i shoud conduct these exercises? is it good to everyday or everyother day? or are there any restrictions or advice i should be aware of which may continue to benifit me for higher rate of muscle growth and gaining muscle mass in the chest area
You had already been reaching the 50kg level and you are just asking now…
It is good that you did not encounter any injury with that… You should not be doing any workout on a body part everyday, because they need rest for the recuperation of the muscles. If you do not give them a day off, they will not repair and they will not grow.
Try doing negatives, meaning emphasizing on the down motion and not the up motion of the bench press. You can also try the bench press with elevated or decline benches. It is ideal to vary your work out routines every so often, so that your body will not adapt to the stresses you induce on them.

The singlemost important golf fitness factor for your golf performance is flexibility. The less golf fitness stretching exercises you do, the less flexibility you have, the worse your game. It’s that simple. Ignorance of the proper golf stretches and lack of flexibility are responsible for keeping the games of many players from ever reaching their full potential – on all levels.
No equipment breakthroughs, no magical flying golf balls, no $300 lessons and no ‘electrically charged’ bracelets will ever take the place of what a proper golf fitness stretching exercise program can do for your game.
With the right golf stretching exercises, the easier and further your body can turn, the better, more powerful, your swing is. Period.
Moving the club head over a greater distance allows for the generation of more club head speed, hence more distance on the ball – WITH LESS EFFORT.
So, What Does The Ideal Golf Stretching Exercise Program Consist Of?
1) It must include several key compound stretches – stretches that elongate several joint areas at the same time – mimicking natural movement patterns. Allowing the golfer to be more accurate through enhanced fitness flexibility, body awareness & control.
2) It must include a series of single or double joint golf stretching exercises. The effects of these stretches increase exponentially when the specific body movement requires several of these joints to move in coordination with each other (ie – the golf swing).
3) It must follow a symetrical protocol – the true key to maintaining optimal muscle/tendon/joint balance on both sides of the body. This allows for enhanced golf swing power without a large increase in swing effort. And this is also very important to chronic and acute injury prevention – and hence fitness and playing longevity.
4) It must offer several golf fitness program variations. A long version for regular training days and a short version for Pre-Round Stretching. A few variations with the large exercise ball should also be included (extremely important for the golfer) along with a couple of club stretches to do just before tee-off & between holes if necessary.
5) It must be realistic & easy to do for golfers at any fitness level with no equipment except for a stretching floor mat (and an exercise ball for certain stretches).
6) It should be thorough – addressing the head and neck all, the way down to the feet. Remember, the golf swing is a full body movement.
7) It should feel good – especially afterward. This type of stretch routine should make you feel as if your posture is immediately better & you should feel stronger – just because your body moves so much easier & more fluidly. You should almost feel like you could rip the cover off a ball if you were to hit one right after your golf fitness stretch routine.
It should cause some of your golf buddies to become ‘hateful enemies’. Once you start bombing your drives & ripping your iron shots ‘the boys’ are not going to be very happy with your new-found golf fitness abilities – they will be ‘green’ with envy.
9) Multi-plane, rotational floor stretches are a must. Glute, piriformis & IT band stretches are a must. Heel (Achilles) and calve stretches are a must. Hip flexor, quad, and groin (adductor) stretches are a must and have to be included in any golf fitness flexibility program.
10) Neck, trapezius & shoulder girdle stretches must be included. chest, arm, abdominal and oblique stretching exercises must be included. Upper, middle & lower back stretches must be included.
11) A complete golf flexibility exercise session should take you no longer than 45 minutes on a long program and no longer than 14 minutes on a ‘quick golf stretch’.
The starting point of your optimum golf fitness exercise program should place priority on the flexibility component. A carefully crafted stretching program, consisting of the right golf exercises, should be the foundation for which the rest of your golf performance conditioning program is built upon.

My supply is limited in the PX but the weight room has little also i only weigh 148 pds and im 6′6 where do i start i eat like crazy nothing helps how do i put on weigh and build a chest
Wow, that’s a really low weight for your height. Have you talked to any of the coremans about putting on weight? As far as building muscle you want to do heavy weight with low reps.
Some exercises to do are bench press, dumbbell fly, dips, push-ups and all the variations. See if you can work up to a one arm push-up! Remember you want to do heavy weight a few times over lower weight many times. Good luck and be safe.

And does anyone know a website that has the ratios between DB and BB for bench (chest) press?
if you are working to failure on 2-6 reps of about 6-8 sets then you should be cool. You should switch between the barbell and dumbbell’s though for maximum muscle shock. it will help you gain. You need someone to spot you to failure though or you will never gain anything!
