There are some areas of the body where it's easy (and undesirable) to gain weight, like the buttocks and hips, and there are some areas where weight is wanted but hard to add, like the breasts. The breasts are really nothing more than fatty tissue. When you are trying to make them bigger, you need to follow a few steps that involve caloric adjustments and some weight training. Although the exercises cannot actually make the breasts grow, they can help build muscle underneath and above them, which can lead to weight gain.
Step 1
Do not cut calories. If you want to gain weight, you need to increase your calories. Add 250 calories a day to your normal intake and split it among six meals. For example, if you normally consume 1,800 calories, increase it to 2050 and then eat six meals of about 340 calories each.
Step 2
Do some incline chest presses. Adjust a workout bench to 60 degrees. Grab 2 dumbbells, lie on the bench and rest them on your thighs. Now bring the dumbbells up to shoulder height, with your palms facing forward. Press them straight up in the air over your chest until they are about 1 inch apart, then slowly lower them.
Step 3
Adjust the bench so it is flat. Lie on it with dumbbells in your hands and resting on your thighs. Lift them straight up in the air, with your palms facing forward and elbows slightly bent. Slowly lower them to your sides until your upper arms are almost parallel to the floor; then push them back up.
Step 4
Take it to the ground. Pushups are a body weight exercise that can work the chest muscles under the breasts. To do them, come into a plank position with your hands directly under your shoulders. Slowly lower yourself until you are about 4 inches off the ground, then push yourself back up.
Step 5
Take some herbal supplements. There are various supplements that can be used to increase breast size, balance hormones and improve the function of glandular activities. Some of these include damiana, wild yam, dong quai, saw palmetto and red raspberry.
Tips and Warnings
- Avoid foods that are high in saturated fats and are processed. Instead, eat nutrient-dense foods like lean meats, low-fat dairy, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts and legumes. When you do incline presses, your elbows should be bent 90 degrees when you first start the exercise. When you do flies, maintain slightly bent elbows throughout the exercise, but do not bend them while you are lifting the weights. If regular pushups are too challenging, place your hands on a table or chair when you start doing them. You can also start by doing them on your knees. Just make sure you have good padding underneath you.
