Anyone else here suffer a case of man-boobs

Just get wedge, init.

I would certainly try to drop body fat and build a bit of muscle first, just to eliminate the possibility that it is just unfortunate conventional fat storage.

 

[Morba]

Would having more muscle behind not make the moobs appear to be smaller?

Imagine a jelly on a plate, now imagine a jelly on an 8oz steak next to it.

Which looks smaller?

What I meant was that if you look at people who have plenty of muscle and a bit of fat , the fat doesn't seem as noticable on them compared to people with hardly any muscle so the moobs will appear more prominent

Surely you can't do both at the same time???

Ah right, yeah in that sort of ratio it's less noticeable on most.

Lower bf% while gaining lean mass? Easy.

 

[Fuzz]

My bro takes the Mick saying I need a bra. Does it faze me much... Not really.
Was on the beach today without my top on but I would be hesitant at walking around like it.

Meh, nothing a bit more abuse on the weights won't fix.
Or maybe a shot of test.

I thought one required a calorie deficit and the other a calorie surplus.

Read what I said.

Cryptic Morba

Additionally to Morba's point, think about the period over which a deficit or a surplus might be required. As a crude explanation, over eating around good resistance training will have a tendency to fuel lean growth. To properly achieve both muscle growth and fat loss requires some thought and isn't easy, but it is possible.

 

[Morba]

Not really cryptic

if you are putting on more lean mass than you are fat then you will have a lower bodyfat%

 

[sorn21]

Hold on. In what world will making the muscle behind the moobs make the moobs look smaller?

Well it will pad out slightly the fatty tissue,
and also a few weights workouts will lead to elevated testosterone levels, decreasing the ratio of estrogen, which will also help matters.

will do bugger all tbh, you know that as well as i do. it needs more than a few weights workouts.

Yeah, I facepalmed after reading it a few times.

 

[lakitu]

Do we know what %BF the OP is? I'd try and get it down to 10% then see where I was at then.

 

[Noni Juice]

Its called gyno, you can get surgery to get it removed.

I have them but they are muscly not fat, which is odd because I dont do any weight training. They are at least a handful each and bounce when I run, sometimes my nips bleed from chafing on long runs. I've been trying to figure out how to shrink/firm them.

Post a pic up fella.

I have a bit of a beer paunch which might be contributing a bit. I want to like "condense" my muscle so it's more firm/smaller if you know what I mean. More dense, less floppy.
