When I put my arms down to my side there appears a lump of fat between my arm and chest. What is the best exercise to get rid of this?

Well from what I know, you can't spot reduce. Say you have a flabby stomach and you try sit-ups to get rid of it. Well sit ups will be good for you, and you'll build stomach muscle, but it's not gonna get rid of the fat on top of it. What you really need to do is shed the fat in your entire body. So try some cardio and look at your diet. If you eat right train properly, those pounds should fall right off. They are for me!

Yeah, like above you just have to continue with weight training and cardio and evenutally it will be gone. When my bodyfat is higher I get the same thing.

Cardio and a good balanced low-fat diet will rid you of those fat deposits.
