"Gynecomastia or male breast reduction can be a very sensitive and highly emotional experience for male patients regardless of age. Unlike the breast of a woman, the male chest is expected to be flat and muscular. For an aesthetically pleasing pectoral muscle, or the "ideal" male chest, fat or breast tissue should be minimal above the muscle (similar to "six pack" abs). Realistically only very few athletes will have this kind of "ideal" chest." --Dr. Mordcai Blau
Gynecomastia (often referred to as ‘bitch tits') is a condition which is actually extremely common amongst male bodybuilders and can vary from mild to extreme depending on the genetic disposition of the individual. In bodybuilding circles it can usually be attributed to the use/abuse of anabolic steroids.

Restoring confidence and self-esteem
Rather than choose between drawing attention to himself by wearing a shirt to swim or going bare-chested, Gregory Bentley, 23, Cohoes, N.Y., opted to simply avoid the lakes near his home altogether. His abnormally enlarged breasts had become a source of embarrassment, and rather than risk public ridicule, Bentley literally kept his secret under wraps as he looked for a solution.
After researching his condition online, Bentley learned that he had gynecomastia, a condition involving enlarged breast glands in men. He also found its possible causes, corrective options and plastic surgeons who could help. In late May, Bentley underwent a procedure performed by ASPS member Mordcai Blau, MD, White Plains, N.Y.
Mordcai Blau, MD, PC, offers hope for males with gynecomastia.

The disputes and legal proceedings between NPC, IFBB Pro and Nspire Sports League have been resolved and settled to the satisfaction of all involved parties.
Right now Cedric McMillan sits in his hotel room here in Rio De Janeiro, shredded, covered in pro-tan, starving, and extremely confused. He’s confused because he knows instead of winning the inaugural Arnold Brazil, like just about everyone and their mama predicted, he’ll be somewhere stuffing his drawn-in and depleted face thinking, “Why me?”, all because he missed the Athletes Meeting today.
