A member asked:
Will doing push-ups make my breasts smaller?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: Push ups cause the pectoral muscles to hypertrophic (increase in size). This firm up the breast and therefore decrease its size. Commonly, female tennis players have a smaller breast on their dominant side for the same reason. Certainly, the more endowed you are, potentially, the more may may notice it.
