Build a Massive Chest and Get Rid of Your Man-Boobs

We’ll be direct, gentlemen: Nobody likes a guy with man-boobs—especially not the guy with man-boobs.

If there’s one muscle group that defines a fit guy, it’s his chest. So instead of filling out your T-shirts with a flabby pair of fat deposits, trim down and bulk up the right way with this two-day workout. It’s specially designed to target your chest muscles while also keeping your heart pumping hard, helping you burn away the extra blubber to reveal a powerful, rock-solid chest.

And everybody likes a powerful, rock-solid chest.
