Hi, first post
I've been working out for the last 4 months consistently and getting pretty muscular (taking cellmass and N.O.xplode) but i've always had a problem with chest fat even when i was a skinny kid....its not getting any worse with the weight gain, but not going anywhere either
Is there anything out there to use to help cut up and help get rid of this, like super fat burners or something?
I know there's stuff out there but i wouldnt have a clue what to get....
Suggestions please?
Thanks

Reduce your calories to keep burning fat, do some cardio, and lift heavy ass weights in the gym. If your diet's not in order, then the extra weight is never going to come off no matter what you do. DIET, DIET, DIET. Can't stress it enough.

You lose chest fat the same way you lose toe fat, pinkie fat, or stomach fat...lose overall body fat. There's no way to target a specific area.

I don't think simply cutting calories is the proper method. I mean.. it is, but just telling him to cut calories might send him off on a 500 cal/day diet and he will go into 'survival mode' (forget the proper term) and he won't end up losing any fat at all. Instead, he'd lack energy and lose the muscle he worked to build up.
If I were you, I'd head toward the fat-loss for noob stickies and stick to a 500 calorie deficit from your basal metabolic rate. Please correct me if I am wrong.

thanks - will some jogging do the trick for some cardio? i'm not a treadmill kind of guy
i think part of the problem if not the main problem is i work a sit down job, and also take muscle milk before bed. i've always had a hard time gaining weight but now i'm gaining but some is obviously fat. i dont mind the weight gain, but dont want the fat gain. i went to the nutrition store yesterday and got some no carb no sugar protein, cause the guy there said unless you're a younger kid with a high motabalism dont drink it unless i want to gain weight. so i guess i'll try the protein before bed instead and hopefully that will help some.
what is yohimburn + aifm? something you can buy, is it expensive?
thanks

jogging is fine, even fast walking. Fast walking is perhaps better because it does not have the impact issues.
Protein intake is important. Nutrient timing as well. But these things affect metabolism and fat utilization, not estrogen and related receptors, which if you have excess chest fat are a problem. But those things are important and its a little more complicated that just adding a zero carb protein supplement to your diet.
Yohimburn increases fat loss from stubborn fat by blocking the estrogen affected receptors that make that fat stubborn (these are called the alpha 2 adrenoceptors). AIFM actually helps lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme.
you can get them both for 78 bucks, yohimburn lasts me about 6-7 weeks and the AIFM has lasted me over 3 months.

as far as I have seen. I have not read anybody having any kind of bad reaction to it. If I put on more than 6 pumps at a time, i get a bit jacked up. Otherwise no side effects for me. I do sweat noticeably more when doing cardio.
this thread here has a lot of info on yohimburn for chest fat as well other additional treatment info for estrogen issues/gyno/puffy nipples/chest fat

this is a pretty informative post, i really had no idea about this yohimburn and all that goes along with it. i'm not saying that i'm going to go on it, but maybe one of you would suggest it? I'm losing weight as we speak, and only got the chest fat obviously as I got fat in college (we're not talking huge, only gained about 20 lbs). So i'm trying to work that off, doing cardio and weights 5 days a week. Would you suggest buying this stuff to help burning the chest fat as well, or will it go as I lose more weight/fat?

In a lot of cases this may be mostly true, but if you have any kind of glandular or ductal development (which is fairly common with excessive chest fat storage) it will generally require more than just losing fat. Also with such fat storage patterns, because of the proliferation of alpha2 adrenoceptors, it becomes quite difficult to "burn" such fats without excessive muscle loss.
Though I highly agree that losing bodyfat is key.
