stretchhhhh marks

I dont got a pic but when i started lifting i got stretch marks on my middle back nowhere else, and theyre fading a bit but not really, do most people that hardcorely lift weights get these red beasts across theyre back or on other parts of the body  

Ummm..no.

But maybe i don't lift hardcore enough?  

i got em all across my delts, outside of my chest, my biceps, lats, the pit between the forearm and bicep, legs...  

I got some on my arse but won't post a pic.............A.B might like that...........lol  

So gymphreak u got alotta stretch marks that arnt fading? HWO CAN u show ur muscles off?  

I have some on the out side of my pecs and on my legs. The ones on my pecs are right by the armpit and are gnarly looking. Not much you can do but wear them with pride. Tanning will lessen their appearance. I have heard of a couple of creams that will help, one being retin-a, and the other one I'd have to look for, but it is 120 bucks for an 8oz tube. I never tried either long enough to know how well they work. Used retin-a for a few weeks and didn't do much. I'd just suggest tanning I think that's the best option.

its the way to go bro...get in there and pick up!  

I have huge red stretch marks between my chest and shoulder on bother sides of my body, i used trilastin for a few months it pretty expensive but worth it they faded significantly.  

Anyhow, Their is a stretch mark creame(sp) at GNC for pregnant women. I have been using it for about two weeks now. It doesn't prevent them but it helps them heal a lot faster.  

Word of warning if you're fair skinned: tanning might help w/ stretch marks but you're likely to start getting moles as you get older. They look worse then stretch marks imho, and it's $$$ to get them removed!  

Be pround of them....There showing your muscles are growing.  

i'm not a crazy fan of tanning..but i guess its not too bad in moderation..i would just prefer stretch marks to skin cancer, so be careful  

got em on my biceps and they got better with a tan  

i'm miserable  

lol..don't even have a come back for that one..but will a tan help with that? lol

Haha, but, has she always used her nostril to speak?  

??? wtf  

This is a really old thread but just a bit of FYI since tanning was mentioned to try hide stretch marks, It's not the best idea because stretch marks will tan quicker than your normal skin and can stand out more. If you tan quick or have dark skin it would prob be ok. The stretch marks will eventually return to normal skin colour over time.
