Hi people,

I'll go straight to the point. I have man boobs and I want to remove them. It's quite embarrassing sometimes and always kena perli by my gf, say I got A cup boobs
Also I have no confidence in removing my shirt (eg, beaches, water parks), feel very ashamed.

I notice they have developed back then when I was 12 years old. I suddenly got a bit overweight. Through the years of highschool though, I started losing weight as I was quite active in school. Now I'm 19 but the they are still there even though I look like I have a skinny figure when I put my clothes on.

I'm 175+cm tall and almost 70kg. For about two months now, I have been going jogging almost every morning and also doing physical exercises like pushups in sets and increasing them from time to time. For the past few weeks too, I have been going to the gym to work out.

I have also come to know of those supplements like mass gainer and fat burner. I feel like I want to gain a little bit of mass so I can shape my body through the workout, but I also want to remove the fat from my breasts. I'm not sure if I should be even be taking any of those.

My main concern is removing my so called A cup boobs now. It's been around for far too long. How can I do this? Any food that I need to cut down or diets that I have to follow/supplements to take?

Please recommend as I have very less experience in this kind of stuff

Thank you very much

hmm I actually have not much idea about this man boobs thing... can TS share pics of ur so called man boobs? As far as I know, they only exist on overweight ppl and not skinny or medium sized ppl....

What's your body fat. Sometimes, even with super low body fat, man boobs will still be there. Hormonal imbalance. Only way is surgery.

175+ at 70 is quite alright. I think it's either what kubuk suggest, which is hormonal imbalance, or that your fat just like to stay there.

Try a little chest workout as well, maybe you can shape them to become manly. Despite that emoticon I display, that was actually a real suggestion. Lose excess body fat while you're at it, if you have any.

Malu

More obvious in side view

How to find out body fat? I check google, I dont have the calipers...

Is that possible? Coz that is fat, can really shape them?
Any recommended chest workouts?
Is it better to do more of the running and jogging or more of those workouts? As far as I know, targeted fat removal doesn't work.

hmm they dont seem as bad as u mentioned... in fact with shirt on I think ppl will hardly notice...

but I do think u can turn those man boobs into muscular man chest with exercise...

Yeah, you can't actually target fat.
I don't mean shape the fat, shape the muscle underneath it.
As long as you eat the wrong amount and the wrong nutrition you won't lose the fat. Find your right diet yourself, it's different from person to person.
If you can go to the gym there are various equipments for chest workouts.

But if you're at home and have little equipment, you can do chest dips, wide arm pushups, dumbbell fly (need dumbbells), and pseudo planche pushups. I suggest a balance of cardio and resistance training. Resistance training and cardio could work together for maximal fat loss and strength gains, and promotes good stamina and cardio health.

Go to a physician for more accurate measurements of BF%.

EDIT: Wait, I didn't realize you posted a picture. It's not that bad. That can definitely be fixed. I see you also have a little belly fat. It's normal to have fat concentrated on parts of the torso and little everywhere else. Your upper pecs need more work.

You main concern should be on diet, coz as far as concern which I read from your statement, u do jogging every morning n do some push ups etc, but do you actually know how much exercise is how much, how much diet is how much?

Man boobs is coz by excess fat, everybody knows, and to remove it means to remove total bodyfat around your body, which means total body workout, which means not only push ups but squats for legs, pull ups for backs etc..

I suggest the first thing you do is that if everyday you are consuming sugary drinks such as teh ais, teh o ais, sirap etc, try to reduce that to only 1 serving per day, coz the main culprit of excess calories which develops fat comes from sugary drinks, which most of us took almost everyday..

Then, try exploring some total bodyweight exercise which focuses on overall body parts.. I suggest squats, pull ups and push ups..make some variations towards the exercise once it becomes easy for you, why? this is coz your body adapts easily towards your routine, and that will slow down your fat loss progress, therefore you either need to squat/ pull up/ push up with more weights/ more repetitions/ more intensity.. you might want to do sets of 3-4 of 8-12 reps, depending on your capability..google more on this please..

Once, i repeat, ONCE, your bodyfat level goes down, you'll start seeing changes especially around the target body parts areas.. as a result of your diet n bodyweight exercise, you'll see some changes, though not much for first few weeks, but try varying more n more exercise n diet smartly, eventually it will not be there anymore without you noticing.

Goodluck

I did a lot of bench press... still have tiny bit... the only way I think is a lot of chest workout + cardio..

A lot of reps doesn't mean big chest.. Maybe you're duin 15 reps++ etc.. there's a lot of factor going around it..dun only blame cardio..i got 20% bodyfat and i can still see my chest bulging out across my upper body..

Just sharing my personal record flat bench press, 94kg for 6 -8 reps, maxing at 110kg.. not that great but sometime to be proud of considering i can only do 40kg x 10 reps 4 years before..

Nope. I do cutting, like 10Kg with more reps, I noticed last time when i did 100Kg for 3 reps in 3 position, my boops just get bigger... now, I just do cutting..

Uhuh..you mean that your body fat is too high that that 100kg bench for 3 reps cause it to grow bigger? not 10kg maybe 50-60kg for 15-20 reps for sets?

HAHA.... before, that was about 1 year and half ago..

Actually do size of nipples causes the illusions of man boobs ._. just wonderin

thus u need to have bigger pecs to make them look smaller

True, with shirt very difficult to notice, that's why I wasn't concerned so much until lately, always kena perli

I'll look more into those workouts.

About the belly fat, during these years, it has being going up and down, up and down. Sometimes extra, sometimes less. Like got season

Thanks for the tips, lots of valuable info there
As for the sugary drinks, I don't usually consume that much. Even in the morning I don't take all those milo, teh ais etc2. After jogging most of the time breakfast is 2 half boiled eggs and a few slices of bread + water only.

But then I admit, I'm always on the lookout for snacks in between meals like biscuits, and stuff like that around the house. Then for breakfast and dinner, just a small portion of rice, with some vege and a little bit of meat. My meals are not huge in serving at all. But sometimes I tend to get hungry at night (10, 11+) then I on food hunt again. Most of the time very hungry really and at that time, what got just burger shops and mamak stalls around, so you know lah

I'll have to stop this habit >.<

Anyway, is it okay for me to consume eggs often? Because I kinda take it almost everyday. If not half boiled egg, will be fried egg with bread etc2. Sometimes one day can reach 4 eggs.

As for the pushups, actually I've been following this ebook "7 weeks to 100 pushups" which starts with low reps then increases gradually in reps and also sets. So I'll stick to that for the pushups. For the other workouts, I'll have to do more research on that.

Thanks for the tips!

I think you're diet is ok, just that you need extra time for your body to adapt and adjust..let it go for few more weeks and see.. always keep track by measuring your waist at least everyday..it's a good indicator for fat loss..

just make sure not to consume too much eggs as eggs contain high cholesterol.. you might suffer high cholesterol later..

try to build some serious muscle as now you're not having enough muscles yet.. you mentioned you just started gym for few weeks ago so you definitely need more time in the gym.. at least for a couple of months..but make sure you maintained constant diet n exercising.. should be no problem..

tltr..relax bro, in short, just hit the gym, ur problem can be fixed easily
you'll see result in 6 months

Okay I'll try my best. Another thing that concerns me is I will be going to US to study in March. So the whole routine might get disrupted for a few weeks during the transition. After that I hope there I got time to continue working out and maintaining diet, also have to adapt to the food there also

just looking at the frontal pics it looked like real gyno. the rounded shape underneath and the fat from the side. try going for a cut but you'll need surgery to really do away with it. rm4-6k procedure.
