    Friends Stretch Marks

    Hi, I have a friend that is 5'11'' 255 that's really strong for natural with around 30 percent body fat. He's looking to get down to around 12 percent body fat, but is really worried how his stretch marks will look after leaning out. He has them bad on stomach, lats and chest. Any advice or words of encouragement?
    Thanks in advance

    A friend of mine was in the same situation. He lost the weight and the stretch marks actually weren't as noticeable as you'd think. You can see them but there not grotesque looking by any means. They tightened up over time and seem to look better and better as time goes on. He has them on his shoulders and all the way down his sides.

    Nice, DId you see your friends stretch marks when he was fat? how bad were they? Seems to me the ones on the Stomach should fade the most cause that area will reduce the most with weight loss and that's not a area that will get stretched from body building only getting fat.

    They will disappear once he drops the weight. Tanning will help as well.

    I wouldn't hold your breath here, once you get heavy stretch marks they will pretty much remain forever. Some things like tanning and keeping excessive weight off will help but to completely rid the marks will require going to a professional.
