    I like getting the marks, they show you are progressing. Try cocoa butter. Also they will become less visible if you tan.

    understand one thing, you can never get rid of stretcxh marks just reduce the apperance. All the coca butter and these kinda of remedies work very well to reduce the size and take the colour out of the stretch marks. tho you can never completly remove stretch marks

    Try this sh*t. Palmer's Cocoa Butter.
    http://www.drugstore.com/products/pr...ndFilter=19229

    It stopped my stretch marks in there spot and help faded the old ones. And tanning does nothing for stretch marks, it makes them worst because they don't tan but the skin around them does making them worst.

    And ya that sux where you're getting them, i feel for ya. Good luck.

    You guys are funny..
    Here's a news flash: stretch marks are not beautiful at all.

    They're usually genetic by the way.. some people have good genetics and some don't when it comes to skin elasticity.

    the lighting sucks in here so I can't take any good pics, but mine are awful - they're in all over my inner thighs and hips (my legs grow quickly) and I have big ones stretching from my outside pec to my biceps

    Man I used to be pretty lean, 210lbs 10% BF. I had NO stretch marks. Some things took place in my life and I went downhill. I was out of the gym for 3 years, and now 273lbs and a shitload of body fat. My stretch marks are crazy! They are all over my love handles, biceps, traps. Its miserable. Even if I get back down to 210 through strict diet and cardio, they will always be there???? It looks really really bad, nothing to be proud of considering they came from being fat!

    They are purley genetic, end of story. Some people get them, others don't.
    I had some on my thighs since I was about 14 & I was skinny. A friend in high school had them on his lower back & he was tall & skinny. They happen from any rapid growth whether due to a growth in height, rapid fat or muscle gain. I know lifters that did gear, grew huge & never got any. After I started lifting, a got some on the edges of my chest & some very very small ones on my tri's, but that was it. None the less, they do suck. We used say in our gym "Old stretch marks never die, they just fade away[some]".

    Trim that pit hair down man, looks like you got Don King in a headlock. Seriously though they are not that bad they will fade over time and as reccomended above try the creams and lotions I also used topical Vitamin E oil on them and it helped try a bit of that before a workout as well to increase elasticity

    stretch marks suck, i dont care about the people that say they are abttle scars, or wear them proudly, thing is after a while they get old and ugly end of story. i got tem at a very young age and though sweet i got stretchmarks so im getting bigger. well now it looks like a lion has mawled me and i hate it. best thing that works for me is the following:

    tan 3-4 times a week with preparation-h cream aplied to the stretch marks for 15 min at a time
    after showering, apply vitamin e oil all over the stretchmarks
    before working out aplly cocoa butter to the stretch marks

    i honestly feel that cocoa butter will only halfway prevent stretch marks and not reduce them. the prep-h has done wonders for mine and they honest to god are starting to leave my sholders and chest. the e oil works great too, but not on its own. ive been doin this for about a month and a half now and its a very noticable change but not there yet. i would venture to guess theyll never be completely gone, but i dont like them anymore and i am gonna try to get rid of em as much as possible

    Some guys are just genetically prone to them. Cocoa butter and tanning helps. There are even a few doctors who can laser remove them. That's if you have the bucks and you are either vain like me or are going to compete.

    I like my stretch marks. I consider them a reward for growing. Only ones I don't like are on my hips, that I've had since puberty.
