Preventing stretchmarks

[quadrat]

Is there a way to prevent stretchmarks? I know that since you get them - it's almost impossible to remove them, except laser surgery. I'm very prone to stretchmarks and want to know is there anything that could prevent or at least minimize its size.

The only way I can think of is to not grow quickly, that's where the worst one's come from - when you grow at an extremely rapid rate and your skin doesn't have time to grow with it so it just stretches.... Try rubbing vitamin e on problem areas maybe, I'm not too sure what else would work?

mine are getting pretty bad

ive started rubbing this murad oilfree moisterizer on them as soon as i get out of the shower twice a day. im not expecting them to heal, but im trying to see if the added moisterizer will keep them from getting as irritated as they usually do when im lifting. a nice tan helps too bro.

Usually once you start worrying about stretch marks it is already to late. You have them. The way to prevent them is to understand how you get them. Simply, you grow... and then you blanch your skins of oil. People mostly blanch their skin by using soap. If you apply oil IN THE SHOWER while you are still wet you will not get stretch marks. If you soap off in the shower and then step out and towel dry before you apply oil... you can get stretch marks. It happens that fast. You have to apply oil before your skin dries.

Bro,

I think another reason why you get stretchmarks is because of the hormone imbalance induced by AS. I have read this and also experienced this when I did a fina only cycle. Hardly grew any muscle (because I was dieting) and got condsiderable amount of stretchmarks on my biceps and forearms.

Sofageorge, what kind of oil do you use?

 

[Surgical]

I use Baby Oil with Vitamin E and Aloe. It's Johnson's Baby Oil, it has a white label and the writing on it is green.

Theory

A theory for the developement of stretch marks is that you are actually born with them but they are so small they are visibly undetectable by the eye. But when you get to a certain size it comes out. Kind of like if you were to draw a tiny line on a deflated baloon then blow it up.
My strength coach told me about this. He used to be a strength coach at nebraska.
