Men's breasts....how big is still "normal?"

[Baby Gorilla]

To start, I don't have gyno or any such problem, but before bodybuilding, I was overweight, and some people joked about my having "tits." So, I'm a little paranoid about stuff like this.

My chest looks normal, and nobody makes jokes anymore about having "tits", but when I tighten my pecs, I can still feel small lumps of tissue at each nipple. They look normal, and I know all men are supposed to have some "breast tissue," but how much is considered "normal?"

I try not to be self-consious about this, but it is a souce of paranoia for me. Especially when my body temp is up or it's hot out, the little bit I have is more noticable. What's considered normal?

Other than surgery (would seem silly for such a small amount), is there any way to reduce this pocket of tissue other than more fat loss (I'm already at 9%)?

Anti-E's

On cycles, I've taken anti-estrogens for safety.

Off cycle, I don't see what they would really do for me. I thought they prevented the formation of breast tissue. If what I have is what's always been there, how would anti-e's cause them to disappear? In anyone knows, please share.

Anyone other guys have normal chests? How much tissue can you find? I'd ask a doctor, but like I'd get one of two outcomes....(1) I'd have to tell him I've used gear and he'd automatically blame that for my problem (even though I've had reduction--not growth--since I started bodybuilding), or (2) he'd write me off as a hypochondriac and assure me I'm "normal." Well, "normal" covers a broad range from almost nothing to just about needing a training bra.
