Hey boys and girls. Well, I'm 30 years old. Between 19 and 25 I lived in the gym. When I quit, my once muscular chest became flabby (especially the lower part). It kind of hangs today and I know there is still muscle below the fat.
Here's my question to you guys. What chest exercises can help me to get rid of the excess fat I have on my chest area? I'm currently doing flat bench, seated machine press and seated pec dec. The muscle is growing back and my chest DOES feel tighter, but there is still too much fat in the area.
Suggestions please?
Thanks.

You can't really do an exercise to get rid of fat in a certain area. The fat in your upper body will decrease as your overall bodyfat decreases. You can't target fat loss in a certain area of the body.
Throw some incline DB bench work into your chest routine, probably in place of the seated machine press.

Thanks man! :)

How's your diet??, also if you're looking for some kind of lower pec movement, try dips.

Spot reduction is a myth. Read a book. Hope this helps.

very sound advice

Thing is, since my teen years, my body always seemed to have stored WAY MORE fat deposits in my chest area. When building muscle in this area, it's not as apparent, but when I do NO chest exercises, it's way more visible. I have seriously considered having the fat deposits surgically removed, even though I heard it grows back if you are prone to collect fat in that area.
You know, at a thinner weight I feel it is even more noticeable. At least when I am bulkier all over, it doesn't look as bad. I was hoping to burn the fat right out of that area by isolated that area with specific exercises, hence my original question to you guys.
-
if thats truly the case, that yoru genetically pre-dispositioned towards more fat deposits in your chest.....then taking yohimbe before cardio will help target that area. i would try thinning out on yohimbe, the do a bulking phase with yohimbe and cla in your diet... that should even out your fat stores, at least temporarily
-
What exactly is Yohimbe and Cla?
-
Dude whatever you do, DONT LISTEN TO CANDIDIZZLE ::) No product will target one area over another ???

Sure its not gyno, the way u describe it makes it sound like it may be :-\
And as said before, you cannot spot reduce body fat, regardless of what people may think. For example, doing cardio on a bike will burn fat all over, not just ur legs.
As for chest training, just do the basics, presses and flies, and have a good diet, see how it goes.
-
Stop eating shitty.
-
Cleaning windows for about 6 hours a day will burn fat, and you had to use your pecs also..... ::)
-
First of all, I never said I ate shitty.
As for it being gyno. Well, I'm not really sure. Gyno to me looks like someone who has puffy nipples and almost like a breast is growing around their nipple. In my case, my entire chest area just contains more fat. It's just rounder than the usual I guess, but there is a shitload of muscle in there too.
Again, at a lower bodyweight, it just ends up looking worse.
-
my genetics for chest are pretty crapy... but they look ok ripped,,, when u say lean u cant be lean as u need to be !... theres a few top bodybuilders who look flat as a pancake off season but look amazing come contest time.
when u can see all your abbs, the lines in your quads and hams, got no fat on your lower back... then your chest will look ok..thats a fact
so what u need to do is eat clean, do cardio at least 5 times per week, take clen or ephidrene and see the results

Cardio 5 times a week? You gotta be kidding me man. I'm not training for competition and wanting to see my abs isn't top priority either. My chest is far from flat. In fact, it's quite the opposite. It's too big, but not in the way I would like it to be (a la Arnold). My lower chest seems to stick out too much and it gives the impression of breasts, even though I have a shitload of muscle there.
Anyways, 5 days of cardio just isn't my thing. I walk a lot outdoors anyways, so I get my "cardio" that way. I don't want to take any kind of drugs as has been suggested either. I'm 100% natural, but wanted to know if I could burn FAT off of my chest by doing exercises designed for chest. I don't want to lose all over. Just the fat off my chest.

Jesus Christ man, why are you wasting people's time here? We have told you that you CANNOT spot reduce fat from your body. If your body stores fat over your pecs then that is your genetics and the only way to get rid of it is to reduce YOUR OVERALL body fat %. What don't you get about it? It just might be that the only way to get rid of your pec fat IS to get a six pack by dieting off the fat on your body. End of story. Put in or put out.

Actually I have the same problem. I am dieting. If I get down to 10% and it is still an issue then the only other option is surgery. Fuck, I hate how my body deposits fat. Shittiest genetics in existence... :-\

Don't be so hard on yourself, we cant all have great genetics ;D
In all seriousness though, i think i may have gyno. Im still bulking right now, but ina few months ill start cutting and i guess if i get low % enough i will find out. Genetics are a bitch huh :(

Are you juicing?
Gyno affects the nipple area. You may just have fat layers over your pecs like I unfortunately do.

I havent been under about 15% bf for a while now, so once i get bf low enough hopefully itll sort itself out, :-\

Oh brother! ::)....seriously, are you reading the suggestions about cleaning up your diet and the fact that sight reduction is a MYTH
-
take back everything i said... u know much more than me,,, a freind of a freind told me decline cable flys will melt that fat off and make your cock grow too!!!!
seriously tho, just loose more fat, its as simple as that...my chest looks apalling off season, looks great when the fats off tho, and it does take abbs, lines in the legs etc for that to happen.

if your fat, you eat shitty. period. no if ands or buts.
have you ever used anabolics? if not, its not gyno. or at least, its very unlikely that its gyno.

okay, first off, your a fucking moron. 5 days a week of cardio is not alot of activity...we are talking 45 mins of walking on a treadmill. if you cant do that..kill yourself; or be content with your ugly, fatty chest.
your lower chest sticks out farther than your upper chest. simple...your a fucking idiot and do alot of flat barbell bench press's. heres a hint....go to the gym and leave your ego at the door! incline dumbell presses. use enough weight so its heavy, but light enough so you can isolate your chest.
no. you cant spot reduce, not naturally. supplements can help increase blood flow to areas of "stubborn fat", like yohimbe. or, you could do a topical cream, or injections. those WILL work.
your welcome.

Actually gyno is quite common in teens and young people, regardless of being natural. I think this guy is older though, so id say he is just fat.

yeah i have it, ruins my whole chest's look, so i cover it up with a tighter undershirt lulz

Candizzle's an experienced bodybuilder and power lifter and I really think it would behove everyone to pay attention (in great detail) to the wealth of information he's elected to grace us with,it's not often a child prodigy such as Candizzle comes along to help us sort out whats right and what's wrong with the way we go about doing what we do when we go to the gym.....
thank you Candizzle.....
thank you.........for being you !

cardio and super sets decline and flat
-
ok bud its simple, it really is the routine you have wont address the problem throw in some inclines (I like barbells but to each is own)...DIET AND CARDIO ARE KEY man if you dont have those then all the lifting in the world will still leave you looking fat. Dont worry about the majority of people in these boards, alot of them can be asses at times
-
Lifters beware!
Take the advice of people with no credentials on the internet very sparingly.
Candizzle suggested gynecomaestia is only caused by the use of anabolics. This is far from the truth and often occurs during puberty.
-
no such thing as spot reduction of bf. just build up the muscle of the chest to fit into the skin, and/or keep trying to lose fat.

gyno in the gland is very rarely a result of anything other than anabolics, however, ppsuedo gyno that is both in the gland and the surrounding areas, or just in the surrounding areas (chest and armpits); THAT is common in for men to develop in puberty

Super set incline DB presses with vomiting. 3 days a week.
-
I think the key to tightening up that area would include....cardio/upper stomach work (crunches)/decline press/decline flys..
-
spot reduction is not really a myth using topicals, like lipo derm, although you would have to be lower in bodyfat.
yohimbe increases thermogenesis and temp locally increasing metabolism in the local adipocytes creating spot reduction
-
You can't really do an exercise to get rid of fat in a certain area. The fat in your upper body will decrease as your overall bodyfat decreases. You can't target fat loss in a certain area of the body.

plus 1 for truth

thank you USP, i tried teling the that
other ways are by injecting helios, injecting pgcl, or using clen with dmso cream

you mean clen orally for spot reduction or am i not understanding what your saying. i wasnt aware of that at all, pretty interesting. how does it work for spot reduction?

no you can crush up the clen tabs and mix it with dmso cream and rub it onto whatever spot your looking to burn fat from...the dmso allows the clen to absorb into the fat cells through the skin and the clen then selectively agonizis those fat cels beta 2 receptors.. you could mix some yohimbine in with it to agonize the alpha 2 to make it more effective
the helios injection is clen+yohimbine that you inject subQ into the fat you want to burn
pgcl, im not sure exactly sure of its mechanisms of action, but you inject that subQ as well and it melts fat in whatever area you inject
