Get Rid of Man Boobs By Building Your Chest Muscles

By Ricardo d Argence

You will find that chest exercises are one of the most frequent exercises performed down the gym and are very important if you are trying to get rid of your man boobs.

Your chest is made up of two muscles, one on top of the other, that rest over your ribs. The smaller muscle that lies closer to the ribs is called the pectoralis minor while the larger muscle that lies on top of this small muscle is called the pecotralis major. This is the primary muscle that gives your chest definition and size.

The chest is one of the main big muscle groups within the body and is frequently thought of as a good sign of masculinity. Good strong pectoral muscles will often provide good overall upper body strength and fitness which is also important in a variety of sports.

Most workouts for the upper body focus not just on the chest but the triceps muscles - located at the back of the arms - as well as the shoulders. So doing exercises for the upper chest builds more than just the pectorals.

But don't forget to stretch and do proper warm up exercises before you start working out. A useful aerobic exercise for the upper body is an indoor rowing machine. Not only will this help stretch the upper chest muscle groups, but it encourages blood flow to the muscles themselves, helping prepare them for the upcoming workout.

Another useful exercise is the push-up. You don't need fancy equipment, exercise machines, or weights, and can be done at home in your own bedroom. To do this, lie flat on your stomach with yours arms braced beneath your shoulders. Push up with your arms, keeping your legs and back straight. When your arms are fully extended, only your hands and toes should be touching the floor.

At first, for some people, this exercise might be a little difficult and so you can keep your knees in contact with the floor rather than the knees. One of the important aspects of this exercise is to lower yourself down slowly so that you continue to exercise those important muscle groups. As you improve, one way to ,make this exercise more difficult is to move your hands slightly wider than shoulder width.

Another good chest exercise is the bench press, popular with many people in gyms. You need a training partner for this workout to avoid hurting yourself or causing an inadvertent injury. Settle down on your back, feet braced on the floor to either side of the bench, and lift the barbell slowly up above your head until your arms are fully extended. Then slowly lower the bar until it just touches against your chest before lifting it up again at a slow, even pace.

Don't try to jerk the bar, or bounce the weight off of your chest since this can cause an injury. A simple routine of three sets of eight reps done twice a week will soon show results as it develops your chest muscles.

When trying to get rid of man boobs these exercises will be very helpful, and improve your chest muscles, as well. - 17268
