Having a saggy chest can get really uncomfortable and annoying, You try to cover it with clothes, but it gets bitter when it comes to a point when you remove your T shirt, don’t worry, there are ways to get rid of it, BUT You need to first figure out the reason ,
Reason #1: Chest Fat
Here’s what everyone automatically assumes the cause is, and in many (but far from all) cases they are correct. And that is simply fat. As in, body fat. As in, the same type of fat located on any other part of your body (e.g. your stomach).
In this case, it’s located on your chest which just so happens to be a really unsightly place for it due to the fact that the softer, rounder, puffier appearance it creates begins to take the shape of something more closely resembling a woman’s breast rather than a man’s chest, especially since the majority of that fat is stored on the lower portion around and below the nipple.
Reason #2: Loose Skin
Up next we have the unfortunate side effect of reason #1. See, when you have a significant amount of body fat on ANY part of your body, and you then successfully lose that fat you’re going to be left with some degree of loose skin the majority of the time
So, if you had a lot of chest fat at some point and then lost it, there’s a chance that the loose skin now left in that area has taken on the appearance of saggy looking breasts/moobs.
Reason #3: Gynecomastia
Next we have what can really be considered the official technical term for man boobs… gynecomastia. The main difference however is that gynecomastia is NOT fat or skin. It’s actual breast tissue that occurs in men as a result of testosterone and estrogen levels being a little (or a lot) off.
This is why gynecomastia most often occurs naturally (and commonly) in boys during puberty (when hormone levels are wacky) and in older men (when testosterone levels are declining). Similarly, gynecomastia is also a common side effect of steroid and drug use (and certain medications as well). And, least frequently but still possibly, gynecomastia can sometimes be a symptom of a more serious underlying health issue.
Cause #4: A Combination Of The Above
It’s certainly possible for your man boobs to be a combination of gynecomastia and fat. Or fat and loose skin. Or loose skin and gynecomastia. Or all three of them.
So, those are the 4 potential causes.
Now for the solutions…
REMEMBER:
No exercise targets chest flab, as spot-reducing body fat is impossible. However, doing brisk cardiovascular exercise shrinks excess body fat wherever you have it, including your chest area. Once you trim the top layer of fat and reveal the underlying muscle, any strength-training you do for your upper body will build your pectoral muscles of your chest
- The Chest Fat Solution
If your moobs are caused by chest fat, you’re in luck. This is by far the easiest to fix. All it takes is… creating a caloric deficit and losing some body fat. That’s it. Our genetics predetermine the pattern in which we store fat on our bodies when we gain it, and where we burn it from when we lose it. This cannot be changed. So, to lose chest fat (or any other fat from any other body part), the one and only thing that will ever work is simply losing fat from your body as a whole. At some point, it will be lost from the specific area you want it to be lost from the most.

Surgery. Unfortunately, that’s it. Surgery is the one and only way to get rid of significantloose skin, and the one and only way to get rid of gynecomastia. (Note that in the rarer cases of gynecomastia being caused by some type of drug or medication, stopping it may sometimesbe enough.), Sometimes a doctor will prescribe medications that are used in the treatment of breast cancer, such as raloxifene or tamoxifen; regular hormone injections can also help reverse the growth. A lot depends on how advanced the condition is.
Strength-Training
Building your pectoral muscles will make your chest look more defined as you lose flab. You can do pectoral presses, bench presses and standing flies to target your chest area. Another option is doing resistance exercises that have you pulling and pushing against your own body weight to build muscle density. Good options that involve your upper body as well as other muscle groups include pushups, pullups, burpees, plank pose, downward dog and triceps dips.
Supplementing with products such as CLA, Carnitine, Fat burners, will assist you with the process of getting rid of the fat, but the most important aspect is a well balanced high protein diet, to lose those stubborn fat efficiently.
