There has been a lot of ink spilled, and there have been many pixels sacrificed (and keyboards beaten until their springs give up the ghost) on the topic of the best way to get rid of moobs. As you may or may not be aware, moobs are a shortening of the term "man boobs," which are used to describe gynecomastia. Gynecomastia is a term used to describe the medical condition in which a man's chest takes on the large, soft, rounded shape of a woman's breasts. And while this often occurs as a direct result of obesity, it occurs in as high a number as 60% of men for a host of other reasons.

Being generally overweight notwithstanding, moobs are the result of a hormonal imbalance in a man's body. This can result during the flood of estrogen which can happen when a man takes steroids for an extended duration. But it is not necessarily even the individual man's fault if he has moobs, as it can also be a genetic condition passed down through a family. From a completely logical perspective, the best way to get rid of moobs would be to not have the genetic predisposition toward having them in the first place - which really only works if you are lucky, or if you happen to be good friends with a mad scientist. But if you currently have moobs, read on for some more practical advice on how to get rid of them.

For one thing, you need to be reasonably slim, to make sure you are not just storing body fat inside your chest. If you suffer from "Dunlops Disease," (so named because it describes the condition in which your stomach 'dunlops' over your belt) you should not be especially surprised if you have moobs. So the best way to get rid of moobs is to lose the excess blubber you have been carrying around... or at least start charging it for rented space and mileage.

If you are working our regularly and eating reasonably sized meals that consist of actual food, that does not involve talking to some teenager who really could not care less about quality, nutrition or portion size, then you might have a genetic problem that will require a hardcore chest workout... or surgery. Think pushups, bench presses, and cable flyes, if you choose the former option.
