Have You Noticed Your Voluptuous Goose Bump Moobs Are Really Growing?
There are many things we would prefer never to hear in our lives.

I’m afraid, sir, your first rectal examination was inconclusive, and we’re going to need you to touch your toes once again.
Yes, my colleague will be conducting the examination this time.
Yes, he was previously a professional rugby player.
Yes, he did play in the front row.
Yes, he does have hands the size of shovels.
No, you can’t come back tomorrow!
Another I would have preferred never to have heard includes the line let me get my hands on those frisky Goosebumps of yours. Followed by you really need to invest in a moob sports bra!
Gynecomastia, often referred to as man-boobs or moobs — is a more common condition than you might expect, with up to 30 per cent of men suffering from it. Breast tissue in men swells, becoming more extensive than usual, affecting one or both sides of the chest. Stood in front of the mirror, how would you describe what you see? Do they wobble, or is it more a saggy droopy look. Like squished mounds of melted candle wax with a pink wick?
If you think you have moobs and you have concerns go get them checked out. Don’t do what many men do and ignore the issue. It’s better to know than not know.
During puberty, gynecomastia is relatively commonplace and down to hormone changes. Between the ages of 50 and 69, it reaches its pinnacle, where at least 1 in 4 especially in overweight men will be affected. It has few physical complications but can cause psychological or emotional problems caused by appearance.
Various medications, drugs and alcohol can also be attributed to the onset of gynecomastia.
Anti-androgens — used in the treatment of an enlarged prostate, prostate cancer and other conditions.
Anabolic steroids — sometimes used illegally by athletes to build muscle and enhance performance.
Anti-anxiety medications — such as diazepam (Valium)
Tricyclic antidepressants
Antibiotics
Heart medications
Calcium channel blockers
Stomach-emptying medications
Marijuana
Heroin
Methadone

If you’ve any concerns regarding moobs, go get them checked out. Don’t do what many men do and ignore the issue. Hopefully, everything will be fine. However, you might discover, and I suspect this will not come as too much of a surprise to some of us, is that you’re overweight. Maybe even medically obese, and once again, my friend, you’ll be faced with the exercise dilemma and how best to turn a routine into a daily fun thing.
This will take some thought and determination and possibly diving straight in and doing Plyometric Press Ups might be something you would want to work your way up to doing. The good news is with a bit of effort, you’ll soon notice the difference in your chest and upper body shape.
Let’s focus our attention on the humble, tried and tested press up that can too often be overlooked. The good news is there is no real need to sign up and pay to belong to a gym, or for that matter, purchase gym equipment. All you really need is a little floor space.
If it’s been a while since you last attempted a press-up ( join the club metaphorically speaking). The general rule of thumb, the wider your hands are apart, the more you engage your upper chest muscles (the pectoralis major). The sizeable fan-shaped muscle stretches from the armpit to the collarbone, down and across the lower chest region.
The closer they are together, the more you engage the muscles of the (triceps) back of the arm. Knowing this fundamental difference means you know how to manipulate and train the muscle.
Research conducted at the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition at Colorado State University monitored the post-exercise energy expenditure in men after heavy resistance training. They found following a strenuous 90-minute weight-lifting workout. A subject’s post-exercise metabolic rate (the metabolism rate remains elevated and keeps burning calories) remained high for a prolonged period. It may enhance the rate at which you burn calories.
In working to reduce moobs, you need to reduce your body mass index (BMI), a rough estimate of body fat percentage. Together with exercise focused on power, speed and strength and the volume of work done. This translates into more repetitions.
Now hit the floor, and give me five press-ups. It’s a start!
