    Not sure if you're serious. Boobs are not muscles.

    Behind the breast tissue is muscle. Increase the mass of the muscle, you give the appearance of larger breasts. There is a more pronounced projection of the tissue = larger cup size. Any chest exercises will help. Bench press, incline bench, pushups, flies, etc.

    Appearance of larger breasts is completely individual, depending on amount of breast tissue to begin with, total body fat, and other factors. The OP said "tone THEM up" which isn't possible. Of course there are exercises to work the muscle underneath. How that will make breasts look is anyone's guess.

    You can't really "tone" them up, but you can strengthen the muscles beneath them to look "perkier." I lift weights and I didn't really notice that much difference, but my boyfriend did lol. For chest I do bench press and chest flies mainly, plus push ups in my kickboxing class.

    Chest exercises will definitely pick your boobs up! My boyfriend comments all the time about how my boobs look better now than they did when I was 18. And I'm 29.

    Bench press (with dumbbells or barbell), incline bench press, pushups, and chest flys.

    My boobs are beyond the help of chest exercises. Only surgery can help them now!

    If you just want them smaller, then you'll need to lose weight overall. They will definitely shrink.

    Losing body fat would be my suggestion, then. Of course, skin condition after growing and shrinking will also make a difference in appearance.

    Not really.

    Women body builders don't have huge boobs, they have large pecs. You're not going to increase your cup size or give the appearance that your boobs are bigger by working your chest. I was watching the crossfit games yesterday and the women on there were jacked and while their chest was large they did not look like they had massive boobs just a very muscular chest.

    With that said: chest presses, flies, pull-overs, push ups, low, mid, high cable flies. Those all will work the chest muscle

    Because they have so little body fat. Their physiques are in the extreme, not not typical results without an incredible amount of work and diet.

    My point is that you're not going to increase your cup size by doing chest work regardless.

    You could end up with great pecs and little floppy pancakes attached to them:cry: which is my case. A lot depends on age, whether you've had kids, etc.

    Bench, push ups and a good push up bra. To lose overall size, lose body fat.

    I would disagree with that, and have seen that to not be true, albeit anecdotally.
