stretch mark city!!

[Rich_d]

I have always had stretch marks on my shoulders from when I first started lifting around 16/17, but these have faded to almost nothing now. I recently did my first cycle (december), and I have shit loads more stretch marks. Lots under my arms where tricep ties to my lats and on the inside top of my biceps, which are now pissin me off as there spreading down my arm. Looks awful when I do bicep pose.

This has got me really worried as I'm going on a sus/dbol/eq stack sonn and I'm sure I'll put on good size.

But I don't want to be covered in these things.

Please, someone tell me, what am I doing wrong to be getting these??

How can I prevent them??

How can I get rid of the ones I have?? (other than rubbing vit E cream into them)

There is a company called Magia Bella that makes pregnancy products. As stupid as this sounds they have a cream that is designed for a third trimester pregnancy which is when a lot of growth occurs, it actually helps prevent stretch marks. A friend of mine says this helped him a ton during a cycle. I also know that the company Klein Becker makes a stretch mark cream called Strivectin that is supposed to help reduce the appearance of stretch marks. My sister used that and said it was great. I don't know if that will help or not. You can check out the products at Magiabella.com and Kleinbecker.com. I think Magia Bella also has a first trimester cream that prevents also, I don't know how well that works. Good luck and keep me posted.

Mothers Friend i heard is great. I have a friend that has TERRIBLE stretch marks and he puts that on them and you can barely see them now! Also, all a stretch mark is is the skin doesn't have enough elasticity. Try rubbing moisturisers and lotion alot, it will make the skin a bit more pliable. I am started to get them on the inside of my peck where my arm and peck meet, so i gotta do something.

You can also try cocoa butter lotion... use it twice a day. Right before you go to bed and after you shower. Anything htat makes the skin more elastic will help.

Once you have the stretchmarks its really hard to get rid of them. Perhaps try some retin-a cream.

Bro, for the most part its like losing your hair. If its going to go, its going to go. (I should know ). I was worried about it when I was getting them bigtime too, in my late teens & early twenties. Now I think their cool. Battle wounds. They "grow" on you!! I say let 'em ride.......

bro the only way to help combat this situation cuz i know i hate em they're ugly unattractive and just wack plain and simple plus they make it look like you've juiced....

is to wait be4 you start your cycle a little longer so your body gets used to the new size and def apply the topical creams these guys are talking about...i got some big ones and decided to wait but its just my opinion..

cocoa butter

Also, drink a lot of water... at least 1.5 gallons a day. It will help your skin to maintain moisture.

As stated before cocoa butter. My sister swears by it, she was applying it a couple times a day while she was pregnant and didn't get any stretch marks. She's funny, she ended up having to have a cesarean(sp?) but says the doctor gave her a tummy tuck.

Tanning will help to hide them. But look at the bright side... as long as they aren't on your stomach, at least you are growing!

oi!
ive got em and ive never juiced

i find that just bathing a couple of times a week and moisterising the affected areas helps but unfortunatly they wont ever really go away properlly, only time will help ya out.
just be thenkful your growing i know people who are jealous with the fact ive got stretchmarks - it shows your getting bigger bro! - ride the tide!
