nope. If you have too much fat, you get man boobs.

Different than true gyno & rare these days because people are much more aware of how to balance out their physique. I had real gyno & had surgerxm - best money i ever spent :)

Many bodybuilders get gyno from drug use . Excess fat may cause man boob s. Large amounts of pec uscle can look odd,

Some gynocomastia will not respond to any amount of diet or exercise, .it is not always fat tissue but actually breast tissue, then surgery is the only solution. I tried everything before i had surgery.

^ Good it can be upsetting, albeit mine was minimal - it bothered me, so i paid for a surgeon. I believe td proceedure is much quicker nowadays.
I do ocassionally see guys who have over developed their pecs - easy to rectify.

I'm pretty sure the "Man boobs" comes from being a bit obese and such. As far as the nipple thing I think its genetics, and pec development through compound and isolation exercises, pretty sure its genetic too, I don't really know what "over developed pec" means, but some guys just have boob looking pecs even if there chest muscles aren't really that big, my cousin is one. We both go to the gym together for years and hes constantly complaining about his pecs being to "oval" or cicle shaped.

I personally don;t think it looks weird, were all unique in our own way even in bodybuilding, like traps for example, some people look like freaking cobras, some people barely have them. Same thing with pecs, some guys just have the most "booby" looking chest out there, regardless of there exercise routine.

As far as I know, man boobs (gynocomastia sp?) is caused by a hormonal imbalance and is alleviated with a dietary shift, detoxification and exercise.

sometimes it can come & then go in the teenage years, but for some it will NEVER go without surgery, even if 8% bf. For this reason the surgeon will/should eliminate weight loss 1st before operating.
