That's my question as well. If it's relatively low, you honestly may want to consider having lipo done. They will target just the pec area and tighten up the skin.

If it's high, then you just need to lose weight/ build more lean muscle. I think it's really dependent on your body fat percentage.

have you considered it's genetic? you're just prone to storing a bit more fat there.

Get a "The Bro", otherwise known as the "Manssiere" like Kramer was trying to sell on Seinfeld.

It might be genetic, see what your old man has going on. The other thing is to stop drinking or cutting back on alcohol, some guys get man boobs instead of a beer gut.

I agree, diet and cardio is your best bet in removing man boobs without surgery.

Every time I hear "I did not take steroids"...
We did not ask you about them. You volunteered. Conscience speaking?
1. Step up with burn outs for your pecs. Light weights, multiple repetitions/cyclic sets/strips. Alternate them every 3 weeks. Start with tha area moment you walk into the gym
2. Wear a loose shirt but underneath the shirt, wear elastic binder, just wide enough to cover your pecs. You will hear many opinions saying it's quackery and will do nothing. I know it works. Mof, if you can get a neoprene binder, will be even better, unless you sensitive. Anything retaining heat and making it sweat.

Best way to get ripped is to tighten up your diet first. Avoid sugars, bread, and fried foods if at all possible.
For cardio look into doing High Intense Interval Training (HIIT). I lost 60 pounds doing this type of cardio. Long
distance regular pace running won't do much for you at this point. You need to up your heart rate by including short sprints in your exercise. Trust me. HIIT will tighten you up if you stick with it. Google sample workouts online!!

One more proof that I need not work out chests at all. As I know, but may be wrong, chest muscles are male version of boobs.

I'm not on trial here, so no need to lie.

I juat wanted to get the question out of the way before someone asked.
