    Stretch marks

    I wanted to ask about exoeriences of getting stretch marks while on cycle. Ive been lifting for years and at one point (when i was single) was hitting the gym twice a day. I ended up puttin on a lean 25 lbs in a 5-6 month period naturally. Had excellent diet control etc.

    The issue being that i started to develop stretch marks. I am not sure if it was from hormones or from growing so fast. Anyway ive done some fitness modeling and luckily tanning seem to cover most the stretch marks i had and was wondering if doing a cycle to mass up would further add to this problem nad what can i do to help keep it minimal.

    Most likely you are prone to them and yes they are mainly from hormones and some get them and some dont!

    Putting on 25lbs of LBM in 5 months will do it.

    Ya i was a hardgainer for a long time tried everything. Then i started doing some study and stopped doing cardio trained smarter (more intensity less time) got my nutrition in check learned more compound exercises, took 2-3 full rest days a week and packed on crazy lbs and upped weight like mad. Went from a wienerish 400lb squat press 3x8 to 900 3x8 which isnt insane by all means but a drastic change

    Think i might get crazy results from a cycle

    Use some coca butter and/or some high end lotion (CETAPHIL) in the areas of concern.

    During my wife's pregnancy she used vitamin e oils to treat stretch marks. It didn't,t prevent them however, it's un avoidable if your pre disposed.
