What Causes Man Boobs To Grow Out of My Chest?

There are many men out there that want to know what causes man boobs. This condition affects 30% of the male population and to say that this is an unattractive problem is putting it mildly.

This condition is something that most men don't want to discuss, simply because they are embarrassed about it. Nobody can blame them; I mean no man is going to shout from the rooftops that he has breasts growing out of his chest. What men do want to do, is to find a way to get rid of their breasts without drawing too much attention to themselves.

Like any problem that needs solving, the first step is to find out the root of the problem. Only by doing this can a solution be worked towards. So what causes man boobs? There are a couple of issues here and I will discuss them.

In some cases excessive chest fat is caused by being overweight. You may have led a life of little physical activity and eaten a poor diet. This has resulted in you getting fatter, especially around the chest area. The solution to this will be to start exercising and eating more healthily. This can often sort out the situation.

Another more problematic cause of man boobs can be a hormonal imbalance. This means your body is producing more estrogen than it is producing testosterone. Women have higher levels of estrogen than men, and that is why it is natural for them to have breasts. For a man, this situation can only be resolved by finding a method of increasing testosterone levels.

This can be done in 3 ways.

1. By the use of drugs or medications. However the problem here is that testosterone medications can come with side effects. Some of which can be serious for some men.

2. Another method to naturally increase testosterone levels is through the use of weight training. I don't mean doing a few sets of curls or leg extensions. I am talking about training heavy as you can, with a couple of big exercises. This means heavy squatting and heavy deadlifting. These 2 exercises are the perfect exercises to increase testosterone levels and build muscle at the same time.

3. Finally there are herbal supplements that can be used to lower estrogen and increase testosterone. Although these types of supplements are not the be all and end all of getting rid of man boobs, they can be pretty effective when used with a training program. One of the more popular ones is Gynexerol, which has proved to be pretty effective for a lot of men.

You don't want man boobs, you are a man, not a woman. Now that you know what causes man boobs, you should do something to get rid of them quick.
