Men-Don’t Try To Shortcut Your Chest Development

Hello, this is Bruce Barker, a 68 years young Fitness Advisor and long time gym lover. I feel that I’m as fit as most 20 year-olds despite working hard in business for many years. Enough about me as the aim of this article is to impart some information about male breast growth.

It is a matter of fact that a large proportion of young people and adults are not as fit as they should be and less fit than those of us that grew up in the 1940’s and 1950’s. People ate less and ate better, worked physically harder and walked or cycled  more. As a result both young and old weighed less and generally looked leaner and were more mobile. I didn’t know anyone that worked out in a gym and indeed most people didn’t need them!.

more people sit down to work and too many sit down to play. Include with this the fact that too many people eat too much of the wrong food, it has meant that the majority of people carry too much fatty tissue even if they wouldn’t class themselves as overweight or obese. The drain on medical resources is staggering. This means, of course that there will be a demand for fitness gurus like me for the foreseeable future!

Alongside their normal weight issues, many guys are concerned about their chests, with some it’s because their chest is underdeveloped but with lots more it’s because they have fat overlaying this, giving rise to what look like breasts, this being known as false gynecomastia. Accordingly, I have had to work out many different programs for them. The result? breast development that’s muscular instead of fatty.

The ideal man’s breasts should be composed of pectoral muscle fibers in the main with lesser amounts of glandular and fatty tissue. When these proportions are as they should be the result will be the manly and chiselled appearance coveted by most guys. In this new millenium it is mens’ lifestyles that prevent them having a good chest, although for a few there are medical or genetic reasons. If you think that this might be the situation with you then you must check with your doctor.

On the assumption that there is no medical reason not to go ahead, The next step for me is to find out everything that I can about my customer, both his mind and his body. the client also receives general dietary and exercise advice and that other essential of goal-setting. Finally we venture out to the gym and start on the client’s first exercise program, which is closely monitored by me. As the instructor it is my responsibility to tell my client the need for him to increase his overall fitness and lose some weight first before going on to specific chest work. It is absolutely necessary for the client to make progress generally first before he can get on to chest-specific work. The client can, over time, by working out regularly and with good technique achieve the kind of chest development that he wants. Unfortunately this does pose a problem for a few young men!

It is the mindset of the quick fix or desire for immediate gratification that compels some guys to search for the short cut to that chiselled chest. Guys who will not listen to fitness experts and succumb to the marketing spin or friends’ pressure and indulge in anabolic steroids.

Any qualified fitness instructor can soon spot those guys on ’stuff’ by noticing the rather dramatic increase in bulk, including the chest. It is particularly noticeable that the weights that guys are lifting/pushing are considerably greater. Strangely few users will admit to taking steroids! The most popular anabolic steroids are ‘Sustanon’, ‘Anadrol’ and ‘Dianabol’.

However, a funny thing takes place after lengthy use of these and similar substances and I don’t mean the fertility issues or increased aggression. The user’s body does, in fact, react smartly to the significant increase in testosterone and starts to ‘aromatise’ this into estrogen which is a feminising hormone. Surprisingly, the overlaying of a lot of glandular breast tissue takes place…the embarrassing ‘man boobs’!. The medical name for this is Gynecomastia and is definitely not what they bargained for.

It is, I’m sure you agree, far too simple to get hold of anabolic steroids nowadays, both by way of so-called ‘pushers’ and the Internet. I don’t know how to legislate against this, do you? Also, A lot of young men are both arrogant and mistaken in their conviction that they know what they are doing but in reality the lack of understanding of testosterone and its derivatives underlies the steroid user’s risks and subsequent problems. Conditions such as the feminisation of the male chest known as gynecomastia. For instance, I know of one plastic surgeon who has a photographic series of well-known bodybuilders on whom he has used his professional skills and, notwithstanding that the procedures are always a success, why put yourself in the position of having to part with thousands of dollars just to rectifyunnaturally fast male breast development?

Interestingly, many men, including a considerable number of steroid users, have dealt with their female-like breast growth by investing in  natural, alternative ways.There is also lots more information available on ‘The Best Chest Guide’.
