im afraid to flex my arms...

[rickcorso]

About 3 months ago I came home from a good arms workout with a massive pump goin on. I spent like 5 minutes in front of the mirror flexing my biceps. Next morning I wake up with massive stretchmarks running down the inside of my arms. They look really ugly and red...Ive been using Palmers Cocoa butter cream with Vit E on them for the past month or two with little improvement. The redness is still there. The big one near my armpit has smoothed out a bit but is still very red. They make my arms look really bad...makes me want to cry....

just thought Id share..

I just did a pretty popular post on "how to prevent stretchmarks". You can read some of the posts there.

I dont think anything will help if you keep getting bigger, I haver real nasty stretch marks stretching from my armpits right accross my chest.

Same here.... All over my Delt/Pec tie in region and across my lats, inside biceps....Oh well, the price we pay for growth

Er....

Sounds like the vitamin E oil is the best thing to do.

However, I know many would wish they had your problem. I've never grown so fast as to worry about stretch marks. So, it's hard for me to be sympathetic. Skin adapts quite fast, so I can't imagine how fast you're gaining in the arms to get marks from it.

What's your quality fat intake? Fat helps the skin. Also, check your copper intake. Copper helps make the skin more elastic too.

water helps the skin. but you should be on a lot of water anyway.

I notice when I do preacher bar curls I get such a huge pump that I get a lot of new or longer stretch marks. Goes with the territory. Bring em on!!

Really, anyone gaining 20 lbs in a few weeks is quick enough to get stretch marks
IF you have type of skin to get them anyway, in my case i dont have one stretch
mark on my body and have grown very quick many times.

anyone use mederma? i just bought some today. that shit is pretty expensive for such a small tube. Plus it says you have to use it like 3-4 times a day for 3-6 months. At that dose, that tube is gonna last like a week.

Stretch marks suck. I have them badly on my delt/pec tie in region.

Very light ones in the classic spot, pec/delt areas.
No biggie hardly noticable.
