When Pecs Become ManBoobs

By Editor on Wednesday, 2nd December 2009

We’re always impressed by an impressive pair of pecs on a MAN even though it is at times tough to tell muscle from man boobs. In fact, 65% of 14-year-old boys have what is called gynecomastia (boy boobs). While most young men naturally loose their “breasts” in 2 or 3 years, adult men with gynecomastia should probably talk to a doctor.

According to familydoctor.org, man boobs can develop from a number of factors including age, disease such as kidney or liver failure, medications (AIDS cocktails, antibiotics, anti-depressants), drugs like pot and alcohol…but no worries there are treatments.

Beating Man Boobs

Getridofthings.com suggests changes in diet in focusing on key exercises to rid of yourself of pesky saggy pecs. “Once men like you and I start getting closer to 30 the metabolism that kept us from growing beautiful man bosoms when we were younger starts to slack on us a little bit. It’s time to stop with the meat and potatoes diet. Drink less beer, for sure, and stop eating sweets if you want to get rid of man boobs.”

“The first exercise you’ll want to focus on is the incline bench press. Most gyms have a machine that focuses specifically on your upper chest; this is the incline press machine. Aerobic exercises like running, cross-country skiing, and biking are the best way to lose fat and your plump little man boobies.”

Then there is always cosmetic surgery. In a post on Miamibeach411.com more than 16,000 men had breast reduction surgery in 2001 – almost 3 times the number in 2000. The average cost of the procedure is around $3,000 and is not covered by most insurance.
