Testosterone Elevation Methods:

Zinc: 30mg on an empty stomach before bed. Gives your body "fuel" to produce enough testosterone.

Tribulus Terrestris: An herb found to increase LH output, which will then elevate endogenous testosterone production.

Dietary Fats: Make sure that you are getting about 50% of your total fat intake from good monounsaturated sources such as nuts, avocados, olive oil, natural peanut butter, etc. 20% of your dietary fat should come from saturates (the remaining 30% will come from polyunsaturates in the form of fish/flax oil). This type of eating can encourage adequate testosterone production.

Steroids: Either a prescription hormonal replacement from your doctor, or your own "home prescription" will surely help to eliminate fat in this area. Make sure you do your research (your doctor sure won't) and design a good, safe cycle. For more information on that subject, read Ryan Norton's great series here: Part I, Part II.

Clomiphene (Clomid): Described above, this will boost endogenous testosterone production as well as serve as an anti-estrogen.

Pro-Hormones/Pro-Steroids: This is usually my last recommendation, as so many of these compounds effects vary greatly from user to user, and some have side effects just as bad if not worse than real steroids (terrible headaches, nausea, fatigue, flu-like symptoms, etc). However, if you tolerate them well, some good ones can be found with some experimentation. If you have questions about specifics, feel free to email me.

Compound, Multi-joint Movements: When you are in the gym, make sure that you incorporate squats, deadlifts, cleans, dips, chin ups, etc. into your program as these exercises have shown to elevate testosterone as well as growth hormone more than single joint movements.

Quadricep:
Everything that was covered under "Tricep" applies here. For the ladies in the house, this is where the aforementioned alpha-2 adrenoreceptors come into play, so apply the yohimbine recommendations. One other interesting thing I have noticed is that long duration cardio (45-60min) can help to decrease this skinfold preferentially to others. Avoid this long cardio however, if your abdominal reading is one of your highest numbers, or just use the long duration workout once per week.

That covers the basics, now you have some knowledge to attack that stubborn body fat. Interestingly, the more research that I uncovered, the more local "crossover" I found between storage sites and their implicated hormones. This goes to show again that the body is not a machine, not a collection of parts, but rather a flowing synergistic entity that needs to be treated as a whole. The above information can and should be applied to regional body fat loss, but keep in mind that one should strive for overall health above all to keep the body working in harmony.
