Flabby chest


Hello, I am 5~{!/~}10 and weigh about 184lbs at this moment. I would like to get down to 175. I use to weigh around 200 but with 5 days a cardio *(30-40 min. jog) and watching precisely what I eat (calorie intake, protein, carbs, fats, sat fat, fiber) 40% carbs, 30% protein, and 30% fats (limiting saturated fats to 10% of calorie intake I have lost weight. I lift weights 5 days a week working chest, biceps, back, neck, and abs one day and triceps, shoulders, abs, and legs the next. Wednesday and Sunday are my off day.
My question is: I am having a problem with my chest. I have a six-pack and my entire body is pretty ripped, but my chest is flabby, soft and my nipples are sort of big. When it~{!/~}s cold outside or when I jump in the pool my chest tenses up and hardens and my nipples shrink and for about 5 minutes I am 100% satisfied with my body. It is just when my chest relaxes back to normal and my nipples go back to normal size then I become displeased. I have never took any supplements, never took steroids, or anything else. I believe its cheating~{!-~}I believe in cardio, eating correctly, and weight training. What I am asking you is what can I do to shrink my chest, to get the flab (fat off of it) I like being ripped I don~{!/~}t want to be big and bulky. Please any information on how I can get rid of my chest and shrink my nipples would be greatly appreciated. I have tried everything push-ups everyday all day long, precision eating, galloons of water, etc..

Thanks for your time
Billy

well , if you do bench press's makes sure you dont do heavy bench press's because you will just build muscle under the fat obviously , but to get rid of the fat im not sure , try cutting the weights down for a bit and try some high intensity cardio ? , im not sure if they can be used for the chest area as i dont know much about the product but you could try certain cutting / slimming gels

Have you gone to your doctor and talked with him about it? He can give you guidance if it is the result of adolescent gyno. If it is he would probably recommend surgery. Another option is to use a cutting gel on the area to get rid of what ever fat has accumulated in that area. Some people say it works, others say it is a waste of money. You won't know on yourself unless you try it.

Have you thought of changing your workout split? If you have been working out as you wrote for 6 months or so you are due for a change. That might also bring some changes in your physique.
