What are some good chest exercises to get rid of man boobs?

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

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)

What are some good exercises for chest and shoulders using only one dumbbell?

Monday, February 15th, 2010

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.

Tips for benchpress and weighted chest exercises?

Monday, February 15th, 2010

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.

Im currently overseas in iraq looking for best chest exercises and for a good weight gaininer?

Sunday, February 14th, 2010

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.

is it possible to get noticable chest gains only using DB chest exercises without any BB chest exercises?

Sunday, February 14th, 2010

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!

lots of push ups. also if you have a weight bench, bench presses work great. u can pick a body building a magazine they usually have work out routines for every part of the body. just keep in mind that muscle is not gonna pop up over night, so you have to be patient & consistent.

Which exercises that makes you have a bigger upper chest?

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

I’m 15. I do Incline bench presses, Flat Bench presses, Tricep Pushdowns, Wide grip pulldowns everytime i go the gym. I do about 50 reps for each exercise. The result is, my arms get bigger but my chests just get a lil bigger. So, how to have a bigger chest? What exercises can makes it happen?

50 reps per exercise? thats the problem..

8-10 reps is for building size
12-14 reps is for power and endurance

Your doing the right exercises.. just work on the the reps.

The last 3 pumps on the 8-10 set should be very difficult. If not.. increase the weight. Try to do 3 sets of 8 for example for size. Everyone has their own way of doing things.. but this is a good overall consensus.
