Getting Rid of Man Boobs and Replacing Them With Muscles
Exercises to build chest muscles are among the most common exercises you can see being performed in the gym, and are useful for those men trying to get rid of man boobs.
Your pectoral muscles are actually made of two muscles resting on top of your ribs on the chest wall. The smallest of the pair is called the pectoralis minor, and the larger muscle lies directly on top of this one and is called the pectoralis major; it's also the one which gives your chest its size and shape.
A good, well-developed chest is considered by many to be a sign of masculinity. When you have strong, well-defined chest muscles you will find that not only do you have more upper body strength, but fitness as well, which can help you in a variety of sports.
Many chest workouts not only focus on the chest wall but also work the triceps muscles at the back of the arms as well as the shoulder muscles. Therefore, doing a chest workout will develop the overall shape and size of the upper body.
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 exercise to keep in mind is the simple push up. It doesn't require any equipment other than a flat surface which can be found in your bedroom, living room, or hallway. Simply lie down on your stomach and place your hands beneath your shoulders. Slowly push up, remembering not to arch your back but keep it straight to prevent a strain. You'll know you're at the top of the push up when only your toes and hands are touching the floor.
Some people may find this difficult at first, so don't be afraid to let your knees stay touching the floor. Lower yourself slowly rather than just dropping down in order to get the most for your muscles out of the exercise. When you get better, and stronger, and are looking to make it more of a challenge try bracing your hands further apart.
One of my favorite chest exercises is the bench press, which you will see many people perform down the gym. It is important you have a training partner to help you with this exercise for safety reasons. Lying flat on your back on a bench hold the barbell out at arms length. Then, slowly lower it until it just touches the chest and then proceed, again slowly, to lift it back up to the arms outstretched position.
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.
