Can becnhpress and pushups perk up your boobs?

[Anonymous]

Anyone know if you can perk up your boobs by doing exercises like push ups and bench press?

I have seen and heard people talking about it, but i did benchpress 4-5 times a week, in additon to 20 pushups almost every workout for about 6 months and i didn't really see a difference.

So is that just bullshit? or are they talking about very small differences? Do you think it work best on smaller boobs becuase i have on the bigger side (bigger than DD)?

by the way, i didn't do those exerices for that purpose, so advice on how to perk them up isn't needed

Hey, there are no muscles in the breasts - they consist of fat, glandular tissue and supporting ligaments, so no - that type of exercise will not change your breasts themselves. The story behind what you describe is that by building your pecs you can create the illusion of greater lift because it causes the breasts to be held in a more lifted position on the chest wall - but it will make only a modest difference and to be perfectly honest it's most noticable at smaller sizes where the ratio of breast to muscle is more favourable.

At the risk of getting a slap, and I apologise in advance, I know you said you didn't want advice on what does perk up breasts - the only credible studies I've ever heard of (via an F cup ex) focused on the fact that breasts are naturally supported by ligaments and like all ligaments in the body, if they're not required to work they'll tend to atrophy (weaken). They found that minimise the time women wore bras lead to a measurable reduction in sagging, for the reason that bras do the work of the supporting ligaments for them so wear one too much and they'll become weak. On the other hand without a bra the weight and movement of the breasts will cause the natural supporting ligaments to work and so strengthen - the harder you can work them, the better.

Again, I know you didn't ask that - just sharing what I've been told by a girl who believes it to be true (and, as it goes, would appear to prove it correct!).

Hope some of that helps - take care :)

benchpressing won't, me gropping them 2 hours a day with my special technique will though.

"by the way, i didn't do those exerices for that purpose, so advice on how to perk them up isn't needed" can't you read?

Those build the pectoral muscles under the breast tissue and give the illusion of perkier breasts.

It does not increase your actual bust size. But it makes them appear different.

I understand they dont increase or decreas the size. So they dont make them perkier, they just give the illusion of it?

Your boobs are the way they are. But if you want them to appear different, the bench press will make that happen. But if you stop bench pressing then they'll return to their natural state.

Yes they can and they will.
