Whats the best way when you have stored fat? I have heard it all. Im currently power repping starting off at sets of 10 on everything then doing the pyramid effect of 8,6,4. Im doing that on usually everything i do. I am doing 10 mins on the bike followed by 30-35 mins of cardio on the treadmil walking at 15.0 incline at 3.0 - 3.5 ( i increase it every few mins)
I want to get shredded but still keep my musclar look. I eat pretty clean lots of meats and protein shakes, oatmeal,protein bars, etc.
My chest can't handle yohimbie so that rules out most HC burners. What you all think>?

One thing that you might consider is dropping all of the aerobic work and switch to High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). This method has been found to preserve muscle mass more and be much more effective for burning fat for a longer time period.
Here is another idea:

As obesity rates continue to climb, there is a pressing need for novel weight loss techniques. However, the energy-restricted diets recommended for weight loss typically result in significant amounts of lean tissue loss, in addition to the desired body fat loss. Leucine, a supported anticatabolic agent, has shown promise in research at many levels. First, leucine is known to stimulate the mammalian target of rapamycin pathway, which initiates translation and protein synthesis in muscle cells. Furthermore, leucine may help to regulate blood glucose levels by promoting gluconeogenesis. Finally, several recent studies provide evidence that leucine aids in the retention of lean mass in a hypocaloric state. The aim of this paper is to review relevant leucine research in the three areas described and assess its potential as supplement for obese individuals.
