Stretchmarks ?

[old mcdonald]

Im getting stretchmarks like crazy, is there anything to slow them down or stop them? How long does it take for your skin to stretch without getting stretchmarks?

I have heard from many a source that cocoa butter helps prevent strecth marks. Put some on after your workouts and that should help you.

Vitamin E supposedly, i dont really think there is anything that will stop it though. Unless you can afford laser treatment.

There's not a whole lot you can do to stop it. If your skin is going to stretch and scar it'll do it no matter what. Everyone has a different degree of elasticity so some are more prone than others.

the cocoa butter with vitamen e seems to work decent, and it smells kinda nice!!!!

Stretch marks are like battle scars, they help build character. I heard excessive amounts of vasoline do the job.

I agree with the Architect, chicks dig em! Wear them proudly.

theres this guy in my gym, about 21 probably 6'1, 195 lbs... he has stretch marks on his outer chest, does this mean that he is juicing or is it possble to get stretch marks naturally?

BUMP for some answers.

I got them down on the side of my pecs, but I didnt get them naturally thats for sure.

tailsoo7 I know a lot of guys who have got really bad stretchmarks and they have never juiced. It usually happens when you bulk at least in my experience because I have pretty bad ones. The best thing to do because I've tried everything is just to try and tan all the time so they don't look so bad

I agree with jowers. My lifting partner started a year after I did and grew like weeds in a wellfed garden. He has crazy stretch marks on his arm-and is completely natural. I also know a few people who grow like crazy when they started and have NO stretchmarks. Seems to be a genetic thing
