Ok, here's the story: I bulked up from a pretty lean 140lbs in September to 175lbs 12% bf in December at 5'7". Not too big of an increase in fat, and a pretty impressive increase in muscle size. All my progress was completely natural, no AAS or PH. Just tons of protein, food, and a month of creatine. I'm 19 and I just listened to the advice of taking advantage of naturally high test levels and a fast metabolism. After the big weight gain I noticed stretch marks forming on my biceps, they weren't bad at all at first, but eventually by January they were quite prominent. Then very large stretch marks formed under the front of both armpits. Like huge tears in the skin, and they hurt to the touch at first. They are just giant red scars; I've never seen anything like it. Then by the end of January more stretch marks were forming on my triceps, and the ones in my pits started spreading slightly to my chest. They were once invisible when my arms were down, but are now starting to spread out very visibly.
After they were only getting worse I decided I seriously needed to stop bulking. I started a cutting diet, eating very clean and cutting out most carbs except for at breakfast. I started using r-ala with every meal to minimize effects of carbs as well. I also cut my caloric intake a great deal and I average around 2500 calories a day. I realize this isn't as low as many guys on here eat when cutting, but it's slightly below normal for an active guy my age.
The stretch marks didn't seem to slow down in their formation, so I just finished a cycle of clen and am on nyc right now. I stopped training my arms as heavy and am doing higher reps now than before because I am (un)lucky to have great genetics for arm growth at low reps/heavy weight. I continued to train legs heavy, but now I'm having stretch marks form on my thighs which seem to get worse with every passing week. I seem to be losing fat as my abs are starting to emerge once again, but I'm being plagued further with stretch marks every week.
I'm in a real tough spot here, I love lifting and bodybuilding, but I do it to look good and I can't show off my new muscle mass with these terrible stretch marks all over. Even with a clean diet, post-workout cardio and thermogenic agents I can't seem to lose much size for my skin to catch up.
Is there any dietary supplements that aid in collagen presence in the skin? What can I do to minimize these fucking scars? I almost decided to quit training the other day because I can't deal with further permanent destruction to my skin.
