stretch marks

[greenwell001]

when i do chest or overhead press the front of my delts and tendon from my pecs feel like they are going to rip my skin wide open. i feel it too when i do chins. anything besides stretching and using a foam roller to prevent stretch marks?

Honestly they make some lotions that help. Pregnant women use them. I think it's mostly aloe and maybe coconut oil (cant remember) Google stretch mark lotions and I am sure there are a ton.

Other than that they are kinda inevetable. When the skin grows fast or past it's potential stretch marks occure. Most BB just own em like a badge of honor.

Vit E oil I believe as well!!!!!

I was going to recommend the lotions and was curious if studies would support it and in most cases they don't help.

My knowledge only comes from a pregnant wife (along time ago). I think the idea is that if you can keep the skin hydrated it will have better elastisity.

I have heard Vit E oils work though

I think it depends more on your genetic disposition. Those maternal stretch-mark lotions don't work. It's all hype. I got stretchmarks on my back from training naturally. Sounds like you are describing pump though :P

I agree that you are either prone to it or not. I have seen little women pop out huge puppies and not a single stretch mark...

It's an insane amount that develop stretchmarks! 50-55%ish!

It appears that it is more prevalent in younger women that give birth to large "neonates" lol funny word they used.

Same here. Got tons. Dark pink color too. Not normal ones. **** it

I have them on my biceps. I've hated it since I got them.

I have them too. The problem for me is I have them all over my stomach from when I used to be really fat. 310 at 33% body fat. That was embarrasing, it was a dark time in my life. I'm thinking about looking into laser therapy but it cost thousands of dollars. I might have stretch marks on my stomach but at least I have a ton of belly hair to hide them..lol

I was bulking and even got them on my stomach lol wrong type of growth lol.. No matter what I used coco butter or vitamin e oil they still came
