Hey everyone, I'm new here. Does anyone have advice about how to loose fat around the chest area. As you can tell by my username, I like running, and I'm about to start my 3rd cross country season. I also run track. I used to be overweight, but since I started running I've lost a lot of bodyfat. However, I have stubborn fat around my chest. Does anyone have any advice? Oh, and in addition to running, I also do pushups on most day of the week. Thanks!

And by the way: I'm 17 and a guy

well running is your problem....cortisol build up is high which stores fat and your testosterone is low as can be for a 17yr old...lift some wts and eat some food

What weigh lifting exercises would be the best for my situation? Squats, deadlift, bench, shoulder press, lunges, pushups, flys?

Thanks, I can do this over the summer, but what can I do once school starts and I have practice everyday?

well you'll still need some strength work to maintain where you get to so you'll need to plan it all out to get recovery and training balance right
