So I'm loosing fat with my running and now I'm looking to add some weights in to get rid of my bh tits. Tbh they're not too bad (around a A-cup)biggrin but would like to firm them up.

At home I have some dumbells and a straight bar with weights but no bench. I'm a PAYG member of a local gym but I have no desire to start going pre-Chritmas as I think my main focus is to keep up with the cardio. Any thoughts on what I can do for max effect with the equipment I have?

keep losing the lard then do plenty of upper body exercises...press ups and bench presses....clean and jerks above head. These should do the trick

Sorry no can do spot reduction. You need to keep on the diet and try to reduce your fat percentage...

Won't those exercises develop chest muscles which will just push the fat out more?

Yes, but more muscle = lower body fat ratio, so it'll look less bad than manboobs.

Swimming.

Reduced fat all around - as you can't do spot reductions. But you can tone up the underlying muscle to improve appearance - which swimming can help with.

Just do some weights and cardio

As said above you cannot do spot reduction but no harm in working the chest area as you will have some nice muscles there when the fat goes.

I did the stronglifts program with cardio and was getting really good results.

Sorry boys unless its fat not breast tissue you won,t get rid of it with out surgery . Called Gynecomastia. Diets will reduce the fat round the tissue but not the tissue. chest exercise in most cases will push the breast tissue out more .Happens due to hormones in puberty . And theres more out there than you would think.

Its fat.

Eat less, exercise more. Whether you do weights, cardio, run, swim is up to you, just burn calories.

Chest exercise will be fine because you arent going to pack on muscle when you're eating so few calories that you are loosing weight.....you dont want to put on muscle AND be fat anyway, you'll look fatter.

People say you cannot spot reduce fat, and to a great extent, that's true, however, I do have a small theory that your body will adapt (albeit slowly) to make it efficient in certain ways.

So certain exercises that may put strain on certain parts of your body, may cause the body to 'streamline' and fix some issues.

Supported only by my experiences when I started training for the marathon, in that the area where I had weight near my back started hurting when I ran (literally through fat movement - pounding) and that was the first place I lost fat.

It's magnified at elite sports level, in the shapes of sprinters, long distance runners, power lifters etc.

But even at light levels, I think what sport/exercise you're doing will affect certain areas of fat loss more significantly than others, albeit not massively noticeable.

Just a muppet theory. No scientific basis whatsoever.

You loss X% all over - because you had a load of fat on your back the lbs lost there was higher for a given % - thats all.
