I've been spending the whole week in a meeting with a group of Germans, so pardon the title for this week.
I've started working again yesterday after a week of the gym bag sitting and waiting in my car. So at the moment I'm all Gung-Ho about working the everlasting fat off. For some reason the intensity of this determination has fluctuated quite a bit since the past few months. Don't really know why. On some reasons I just feel like, okay diet all the way and get to my ideal weight. On some days it's like" yeah whatever, that burger and fries dripping with oil looks good". Bottomline: dieting is hard, continuously being pumped up about working out is even harder.
My biggest problem aside from the hopelessness of losing the gut, is the excess fat in the pectoral area, or better known as manboobs.
So, in order to motivate and strategize my gym sessions, I have compiled the top workouts to target the pectoral area to eliminate moobs, For all us males out there with some bosom’ical issues, here’re some actions that may help us out:
1- Seated chest press: Sit with your back flat against the machine and slowly push the weights straight out in a horizontal motion, then return to the starting position. Keep your breathing controlled and the movement steady. Perform four sets of 8 to 12 repetitions.
2- Cable crossovers: Attach the handles to either side of a pulley station and stand with your arms extended at shoulder level, your elbows slightly bent and your feet shoulder-width apart. Slowly bring your hands together in front of you and cross them. Return to the starting position and repeat. Concentrate on using your pectoral muscles to generate the power needed to perform this action. Do four sets of 8 to 12 repetitions.
3- Incline flyes: Sitting on an incline bench at about a 45 degree angle with the dumbbells held above you, lower your hands out to the sides (but not lower than your shoulders), then bring your hands back together above you, mimicking a hugging action. Perform four sets of 8 to 12 repetitions.
4- Bench press: Lie with your back against the bench and slowly press the barbell directly upward. Make sure that your back does not rise off the bench, and that you are breathing out on the upward movement and inhaling on the downward action. Perform four sets of 8 to 12 repetitions

5- Incline bench press: The first exercise you’ll want to focus on is the incline bench press. Most gyms have a machine that focuses specifically on your upper chest; this is the incline press machine. A greater amount of muscle mass in the upper chest will tighten some of that flab around the nipples. Remember that building muscle mass with a weight training regiment requires fewer reps with greater weight.
On another note, the Google phone is out. Can it challenge the likes of the Blackberry and the iPhone?
