Can't Get Rid of Pectoral Fat? Stop Using These

Are you finding it difficult to shed excess pectoral fat in spite of eating a clean diet and doing frequent sessions of cardio? Bodybuilders who cycle anabolic steroids are aware of the fact that it might contribute to the development of fat over their pecs, even to the point of causing gynecomastia (breast development).

Unfortunately, those of use who choose to build muscle without the aid of anabolic steroids can and do experience problems with stubborn pectoral fat, and in some cases even develop gynecomastia. Why does this happen? Well, sometimes it's obvious as to what this excess fat is the product of, and sometimes it isn't.

Let me start with the obvious; men can develop excess fat around their pecs due to genetics, bad diets, age, and even certain bodybuilding supplements. Poor posture, while not a cause of fat pecs will make them more noticeable. So resist the urge to hunch over in an attempt to conceal them.

Most of us who experience an excess of pectoral fat are doing so because we are carrying too much body-fat. But there are other factors which can and do contribute to this problem that many of us are unaware of. One is the presence of estrogen and steroids in the meats that we eat (I wrote about this in my previous post).

Other factors include drinking water from plastic bottles that contain BPA, which mimics estrogen. read more about the dangers of BPA and how to avoid it here . Next on the list is antiperspirants, which contain estrogen and other ingredients that encourage fat to accumulate over our pecs and then makes it difficult for us to get rid of it.

The reason antiperspirants are so effective at delivering unwanted estrogen to our bodies (pectorals) is because we apply them to an area that is very close to them. read more about how to avoid estrogen producing antiperspirants here .

So, discontinue the use of estrogen causing products, stop consuming foods and beverages that are packaged in plastics that contain BPA, and continue to do cardio (I prefer HIT training for burning fat) and over time, your overall body-fat will decrease. That's when all of your hard work will reveal itself, including those pectoral muscles that you have worked so hard to build . Let's go.
