Man boobs, moobs, man tits, WTF?

Recommended Posts

I forget where I read this, but I've heard this is true. Moobs are most commonly found on men who used to work out regularly and did develop their pecs. After a long period of working out, the muscle tone disappears causing moobs to appear.

I just noticed that I made a boo boo in my last sentence.

I should have said that if guys have worked out for a long period of time developing pecs, then give up for a while; moobs will appear due to the loss of the muscle tone in the pecs.

Nope. its all about fat cells or development due to drug use (or some other hormone imbalance). Muscle comes or goes, just like anywhere else in the body. The body burns the spare muscle for fuel quite efficiently and quickly when its not being used anymore.

That's an old myth propagated by pencil neck guys.:P

Are you calling me a pencil neck guy, you inbred redneck?



Well, you've pretty much nailed it both ways.:P

I haven't lifted seriously in a few years now, so I've gone from stocky guy that lifted heavy things to overweight guy that has the body for swooping and not 4-way(read: overweight).:D

Hey Chubs,

Unfortunately I'm not the pencil neck you think I am. I haven't mentioned this on dz.com before because well, I've been embarassed. Since my accident almost 5 years ago, I gained between 75-80lbs.:( The good news now is that I have lost approx. 45 of those lbs. and am still losing. I have just about 30 more lbs and I will be that pencil neck again...and it will feel good! According to my calculations, this should happen sometime late September.:)
