How to loose man boobs?

[BoostedBB6]

I'm getting back into working out again and this is an area I want to work on more.
Since I stopped a few years ago I have very soft pecks again and want to build this area back up. Get rid of the flabby crap.

Any suggestions on workouts that focus on this area and give good results quickly?

[gdoh]

put in work shit dont happen over night

[BoostedBB6]

Ya, I know that for sure.
I'm getting back into the whole gym life again and just looking for some exercises that give me results for this area.
Not looking for changes over night because those don't exist, just looking for focused workouts.

Incline bench, flies, flat bench with dumb bells
I'm sure there are machines as well

Make sure that you don't work just your chest, work out your entire body

I do a full body work out every trip I make to the gym but I like to focus on areas I need to improve as well.
I'm basically just looking at a split between cardio and upper chest workouts. I prefer using a machine rather than free weights because I find I can target certain areas better but I will have to get over that.

remember you cant spot reduce. squat, deadlift, bench, clean. do some cardio (sprint for 20 secs, walk for 40 secs, do this for about 10 mins?). eat clean. give up all those bullshit carbs unless youre going out with a friend. i dont even eat out anymore acutally unless its social. pack your own food

[xzman]

man boobs are essentially fatty tissue so get the cardio in there and hit the bench to firm em up!

[KuSouL]

they sound pretty loose already to me

[SwiftStriker]

just swim. Swimming is great! It works your upper body

[The_AK]

seriously dude,
these


Push ups are beast

[hal0g0dv2]

machines lol

Why would you want loose man boobs?

[chin3se604]

a bunch of chest exercises transform that clay in to hard muscles
and cardio to burn the rest off that is covering your hard earned pecs

[jdc430]

watch calories. High impact and whole body activites. cardio, cardio, cardio.

Well I'm a rather large individual (258.4lbs as of today).
My goal right now is to be back at 220 (and eventually 180-200)

My work out plan right now is 30-40min of cardio (rowing or stationary bike), followed by 30-40min of weight training. Right now the plan is to do this for 5 days a week with 2 days off .

With a schedule like this do you think my goal is achievable within 6 months time?

Anyone have any suggestions for low caloric (and good tasting) meals? I usually don't have a lot of time to eat and got into the bad habit of eating out a lot but I need to drop that habit ASAP if I want to get results.
I love salads and chicken, are these good foods to be eating and expecting these kind of results?

It seems that your "boobs" aren't the only issue, you're obviously trying to just shed weight.

I would weight train first, and THEN go do cardio. And I would work up my endurance on the treadmill instead.

As for meals, I'd just eat a lot of veggies, eat plenty of fruit, lay off the sugars/salts, and drink lots of water. I'm not a dietitian but its merely a suggestion for living healthier, and naturally helping you to lose weight for the long run.

Any reason you recommend weight training first?
I was around 240 in highschool but was not much fat one me then :P Spent all my time in the gym or on the field.
As for treadmill, that's a no go for me. I severely injured my knee in highschool playing football so running causes issues.
Anything else I am good with. I prefer the bikes because its less impact on my knee.

In a whole, yes I would like to work on the overall picture not just one area but I figured I would focus on something and go from there.

two schools of thought on this depending on your goals:

do cardio first weights second - this would be better suited to you - imo -as you want to reduce bodyfat while firming up.

do weights first cardio second - better for someone who wants to build strength as youre not burning energy doing cardio before hitting the heavy weights.

your diet is important, reduce the calorie intake while increasing the amount you burn - pretty easy formula.

if it was me, i would scrap the 40 minutes of cardio before your workout, and only do a 10 minute warmup cardio, and then hit the weights HARD with high intensity doing full body compound movements and keep your heart going doing that.

and then do HITT once or twice a week on your off days


imo, steady state cardio like riding the bike is for people who cant breath well enough to walk up stairs

Well I'm by no means a personal trainer or anything, but for me, I do cardio post weights because the school of thought here is to burn off the "excess" fat after a workout, I've forgotten where I've read about this but it was a while ago. Plus it's also a mental thing to try to muster up the energy to run after doing weights (I run like 6-7k after working out for an hour, probably not a good idea anyway lol).

But like what the guy above me said, bikes are either for ci-lais or morbidly obese people. Since you're an athlete don't you want more "movement" in your cardio? When my right foot/knee used to hurt (bball injury), I would go on the elliptical, you might want to try that out, it sure beats the bike.

Thats your choice to believe what you want. I had no set work out plan just hit the gym with my friends and played football 24/7.

I'm asking for advice on a focused work out as I have never tried to focus on a certain area before. If you don't have any feel free to take yourself somewhere else.

I will try this out for sure.
I do enjoy the elliptical but it seems so does everyone else at my gym. I will see if I can grab one tonight. If not may just hit the pool and do some lengths.
