Firstly I want to shatter a a big man moob myth. No matter what anybody claims, there is no secret chest exercise that is going to help you lose your man tits quicker. There’s no miracle push up, no revolutionary chest press. These exercises do not exist.
How do I know this?
Because you cannot lose fat in a specific part of the body simply by performing an exercise that works the muscles in that part of the body.
Ask any personal trainer worth their salt and they will tell you the same.
Attempts at localised fat loss (or “spot reductions”, call them what you will) are a waste of time and energy because muscle has no influence over how much fat surrounds it.
So despite what the infomercials would have you believe, you are never going to get rid of that beer gut just by doing sit ups day in day out. And I don’t care if you do 100 crunches a night from now until the end of time you are never going to get six pack abs!
Or at least, you’ll never get six pack abs that anyone can see. The sad thing is you could end up completely ripped, hell you could end up with eight pack abs, but no one will ever know because those muscles you’ve spent hours busting into shape will be completely hidden by the beer gut that’s still hanging over your belt.
My point is, to get great muscle tone that’s visible, you must also lose body fat – and to reduce fat anywhere on your body, especially the stubborn kind, whether it is abdominal fat or pseudogynecomastia chest fat, requires the correct kind of exercise and, to be more specific, the right kind of cardiovascular exercise.
