News and Articles Muscle Nerd Articles Get Rid Of Man BoobsI've been getting a LOT of emails over the years about what us guys call "man boobs".
By The Muscle Nerd, Jeff Anderson
You know, like what causes them...and especially, how to get RID of them!
I can understand how embarrassing this is for guys, especially when you want to take your shirt off at the beach, right?
It's really NOT a funny situation for those guys who suffer from it.
Well, if you'd asked me a while ago, I would have simply chalked it up to lack of exercise and a high body fat percentage...nothing more.
But this was just plain IGNORANT on my part and since I was getting so many questions about it, I did some research...
"Man boobs" (actually a condition called "gynecomastia") is caused by a hormone imbalance in the body.
Just as women have a larger chest due to estrogen, when guys start to gain more body fat, they too produce more of this female hormone.
So basically, just as if a woman were to take male hormones she would grow a mustache, if you're a guy and experiencing lower testosterone or higher than average estrogen levels, then, well...you're gonna grow something else!
Fortunately there IS a way to get rid of "man boobs"!
I've included a website below that someone turned me on to where this guy actually shows you EXACTLY what to do if you suffer from a saggy, female-like chest...
