yo guys, ive started noticing some small stretch marks up near my butt on my hams, and a couple on the side of the ass...i havent gained or lost a lot of weight at all, so im not sure what this could be from. Ive went from about 170 to 185 in 5 months of training...any havent picked up barely any body fat...what should i do? i dont want any more...only possible thing i can think of is that i do very deep ass to the floor squats, could this be a prob?

battle marks.

 

[ZGzaZ]

lol, okay..but what if you dont like them? then what?? i havent jumped up in weight either...errrr

 

[ZGzaZ]

but my body is my shrine....i need it to stay beautiful! basically, i just dont want anymore...how can i prevent future ones?

 

[NWinters]

there really is no way to prevent it unless you stop lifting....Tanning helps, and so does srubbin the shit out of em. Some of the top body builders, and power lifters have them. There like what califlower ear is to a fighter; "battle marks"

Coa Coa butter helps a little, it gives the skin a little room to strecth without leaving marks. A lot of pregnant women use it to help keep from getting stretch marks on their belly.

I have been getting some real bad ones on my bi's lately, it's cool to have them because you know you're growing but to say it plainly they look like shit.

battle marks.

if i had the chance i would get any operation to get mine removed. I am not proud of them in anyway.
I have them from my collar bones to my knee caps.

I look like a tiger attacked me. It makes me VERY VERY uncomfortable. I feel so bad i warn people about them, and sometimes wont take my shirt off.

The ones on my traps biceps, triceps, chest quads, etc are all "silver".....but my delts and lats wont seem to fade, they are always red/purple.

I think its a diet related thing (to prevent them) i sure as hell ate very badly when i started.

I don't have too many...for a fatass..lol

Seriously the only ones I do have are from major weight fluctuations...the best way to stop them is pure vitamin e gel

 

[circusgirl]

doesn't vitamin E cream help scars/marks?

A good person to ask is actually a dermatologist. Any derms on here? Or any woman who recently had a kid. Lots of pregnant women get stretch marks.

 

[CobraUTAH]

I've got some too. They are at the bottom of my butt where it meets the upper leg. I also have them on the fronts of my legs right at the top. I'm not sure if it was from a growth spurt or from lifting, maybe both.

I dont have any stretch marks yet, but im not sure about tanning helping to hide them.

My sister in law has some horrid stretchmarks because she is a fatass. She tans all the time, but the marks dont tan so she looks like a zebra. I would think she would be better off not tanning.

They are like scars, nothing to love about them. I have them all over my biceps and some on my shoulders.

Wait till you get used to them, I thought they were kinda cool at first but now I wish they weren't there.

[ffknight84]

can the same remedy ( cocoa butter ) be used for lines in the skin from weightloss. I have actual lines on my skin that outline where my abs would be, from the quick fatloss. Also have them on my forearms for some reason,wrists, elbows. I think the arm ones came from my arm pads in lacrosse, little indent lines. Is there anyway to get rid of them, they look horrible and stupid???

Got em around my neck/chest I usually train chest/traps/deltoids the most. Don't really care/pay much attention.
Although I have some on my stomach since my belly would use to fold =/...I probalby shouldn't have said that .

I actually took a pic of my first one, it was like a quarter inch long...that same one is now 4in long!! I hate them, they are nasty, but i have to live with them, so theres nothing i can do. I have them everywhere, bis,tris, back, legs, ass low back. I used to be skinny as shit, so i tell myself im growing outta my skin, helps me get thru the day.

 

[teirrah]

Vitamin E cream used regularly may help them to fade a bit but basically once you've got them thats it.

 

[blinddeafmute]

Do you prevent them the same way then? Vitaman E and or cocoa oil stuff?

Anyone do anything like this to prevent stretch marks? Just wondering because I plan on growing a lot in the next 6 months or so and really dont want stretch marks.
