    Show them off like battle scars... I have heard that vitamin E oil can help, but if you keep growing you will keep stretching...at least that is my experience...

    Just use some type of moisturising cream. This will soften the skin up and allow it to stretch slowly rather than the pink slivers.........ya know what i mean

    A lot of people use what CJ is suggesting. Seems to work fairly well although it is very difficult to stop them from happening at all.

    Things like cocoa butter and shea butter help prevent stretch marks, they dont make them go away once they are there. Also a vitamin E cream that you use when you get a tatoo, that works as well.

    Cocoa butter can't fade them , that sucks. I think stretching alot has helped me with not getting ALOT of stretchmarks. The shoulder I stretch the most and is actually bigger is the one with hardly stretch marks on it. I guess when constintly stretching the skin it makes it more flexible so no tears=stretch marks, just my hunch.

    if stretching works for you then try stretching and using shea butter so you'd improve the elasticity of your skin even more.

    They'll eventually fade... but you can try and get those bars of soap from Dial with Coco Butter in it (not sure exactly how much Coco Butter is actually in it), I used to use them a lot - or anthing else that will help the elasticity of your skin...

    I agree - display your caluses from grippin' the iron... and the popped blood vessels in your neck from pushing with everything you got... show those off with pride... but not stretch marks... stretch marks should be avoided. They eventually fade with good hygiene and tanning - but the mor supple you make your skin the better off you'll be...

    Now your talking...broken blood vessels in the eyes from pushing too much is great for conversation.

    her: what happened to your eyes?

    me: was benching 505 for reps,it always happens

    her: dripping wet

    hahaha

    I ordered this, I have no stretchmarks so far, it's a lotion so it's easier to apply than a creme.

    Actually they do. A man with caluses is a man that knows work and is more likely a good choice for her protection... wether he earned them in the gym or buidling a house - he knows consistent, hard work. It's those primal things - like most men love nice hips and breasts because the woman represents an ideal icon of fertility and sex...

    And... I have found many woman that like to clean up there man - if it's plucking eyebrows or scrapping caluses off with a razor blade...

    Stretch marks represent drug use. Its just a fact. If you see two big dudes in the gym and one has big red stretch marks all over his upper torso and the other has clean skin - people will always think drug use for the guy with the stretch marks. And with that profiling comes the idea of illegal practices (in most countries) and the media instilled ideas about those that use AAS to grow.

    Stretch marks are often related to fat too. Most people with stretch marks aren't mass muscle monsters - they are big fat asses... and their stretch marks are from getting fat too fast or being fat as a child.

    Stretch marks are blemishes. They are imperfections on the skin like acne. I would sooner want to be covered in pimples than accept an out of control break out of stretch marks.

    They are inevitable when using AAS and a hardcore training and diet routine - but you can minimize them, help them fade faster and otherwise keep them less obvious... IMO, you should.

    Yeah - I know... retarded... but it's true!

    People that maintain a low bodyfat, or otherwise always been lean, may be at more of a risk because there skin is tighter and less supple than someone who has gained and lost weight before... if I lose 20 pounds of fat, then gain 15 pounds of muscle... I probably would see less stretching than some who all of a sudden gains 15 pounds of muscle... ya dig? The skin was already stretched before...
