    stretch marks

    I did my first cycle a little over a year ago (test cyp 250mg/week Decca 200mg/week). About 2 months after I came off I started to get stretch marks on my left bicep, small at first kinda looked like broken capillaries but before I knew it they ran a length of about 5 inches down my arm. Just my left arm. I figured it was from getting so big on roids so fast, then not drinking enough water while taking creatine after the cycle.

    A year and some change has gone by and now I'm on week 5 of a Tren only cycle (I know, I know) but now on both my front delts the same type of thing is starting to appear. I've been drinking TONS of water every day, been doing cardio after every work out because I'm trying to cut up, not really looking for mass.

    Is there anyway to avoid stretch marks, or stop them from progressing once they start to show? Should I stop my cycle now and start PCT? Does that lotion crap actually do anything?

    I'm not a HUGE guy, I don't understand how some people get so massive and have no stretch marks. I haven't even gained any weight on this cycle (probably exchanging fat weight with muscle weight)

    Suggestions?

    I hear you guys.. I just don't want people accusing me of being on roids.. I blamed it on the creatine last time. Which probably was the cause since I was off the juice for 2 months when they showed up.

    but yea, I see what you're saying. Still wish there was a way to prevent them or stop them from progressing.

    some say use cocoa butter. im not sure though; mine are small and dont bother me cause they arent very noticable. tanning helps also. and like mercy said their are creams to put on them.
    DONT SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF!

    Does that crap actually work though? I feel like it's a gimmick. Your skin stretches from the inside out.

    if some women that had kids I've talked to is right then yes they do. I never really got them, knew people who got it bad though, must be a vitamin or something. Might want to search vit. E rubs

    I tried all the creams and everything the only thing that works is surgery what they do is they will take a skin of your ass and put it on your arms. just kidding. seriously those creams didn't help me at all.

    Oh man I feel you bro. I have had great success with Vichy Laboratories and I must thank them for eliminating my stretch mark - give it a good couple weeks to see results:

    I have very noticeable ones on both my biceps and my triceps (the area that touches the lats when your arms are by your side) and IMO they're a sign of your hard work! Embrace them!
