Stretch Marks ?

[cFIRES670]

I've done two cycles before and got some stretch marks by my armpits (chest area). My friend said you can prevent them by using cocoa butter in areas prone to theme. I was wondering where else people have gotten them to try to prevent new ones??

[mushroomstampr]

wrong forum....bring this to the AR spa

but its to my knowledge that they dont go away....just wait to the summer and tan them and it should help them not be so obvious

[cFIRES670]

thanks

[timeismoney]

You are right though. THe cocoa butter will help with stretchmarks a little. I have worked with pregnant women in PT who swear by it for the same reason just different areas. Good luck man

where else are stretch marks common??

[Blown_SC]

where else are stretch marks common??

Everywhere........

[cFIRES670]

Chest, under arms, lats, love handles, lower back, back of knees, inner thighs. Anywhere that you skin stretches......

I wonder if women can get stretch marks in their pussies!?! I'd check the next time I dig one.

[timeismoney]

You'll get them front delts, outer pecs, top of quads near hips, arms around the bis more likely then the tris. but you could get them anywhere,

basically you get them no matter what, or are there other ways to prevent them besides cocoa butter?

[Blown_SC]

Grow slowly... keep well hydrated....

I heard cocoa butter works the best.

[smokeydabear]

If u can find it, try and get the Duka Mati Fargas cocoa butter

i dont tan for ****, when you say grow slowly, do you mean lower doses for longer periods of time or....

No. If you run gear, you'll grow quicker no matter what (or at least you should)... if you're worries about marks, lay off the gear....

People that run gear (and grow quickly) give their skin less time to adjust, therefore, a higher propensity to get stretch marks.....

[cFIRES670]

yeah too late for that,on third cycle, but first stack. Luckily ive only gotten them on my chest. I'm not really one to use much lotion and **** but am really intersted in preventing them since i heard they were permanent.

[cFIRES670]

during severe cases can they look ridiculous and completely obvious , and is that just part of juicin

[Blown_SC]

They are permanent. There are laser surgeries for them though...

Not much you can do, except grow slow and steady, keep well hydrated, and properly moisturize.... you can even use a body wash with cocoa butter in it daily....

[cFIRES670]

i appreciate your help man

Stretch marks are part of growth. However, take a close look at most competitors........

It's just another trial you deal with in this game... if you're gonna grow big, and fast, you have to deal with them.....

[cFIRES670]

you got em?

[Blown_SC]

you got em?

Fukk yeah.... alot of us do lol....

Be proud of 'em, shows you that you're packing on the size quickly...

[whitehulk]

it is just a part of workingout in general. personalyy i stretch more when im not an any juice compared to when i am on. and i definalty grow like 5x more when im on juice but dont really stretch due to water retention. its mostly about water if your dry you are more prone to stretch if your saturated then youll most likley not stretch as much. also it is genetics, with the type of skin you have.

the size aint comin as fast as i was hopin this time, good diet too

Yeah, definitely needs alot of work....
You should cook your meals the night before and take them with you to work...
You need to eat 6 meals or so a day, evenly spaced out as well....
Diet is the key bro, seriously, you should work on it.....

Nat protein?

Are you asking what the difference is between protein powders and whole foods?

[cFIRES670]

honestly i really appreciate the advice youve been giving, im going to try to focus more on real foods

[cFIRES670]

do you grow that much more from natural foods is what i meant?

[1-Cent]

I have them under my armpits between my delts and pecs too, one of them looks like I have flesh eating disease would really like to fix those... I have some less noticeable ones above my glutes too

[cFIRES670]

i actually have them on the sides of my neck too

[Blown_SC]

Protein is protein. What whey and such lack, is the other nutrients you receive from whole foods....

Diet is the biggest part bro, don't let anyone tell you differently.

Diet, rest, and training........

[cFIRES670]

is it also better to do 3 sets, 10-15 reps as opposed to more weight and less reps for growth, my buddies been jucin for years, he reccommends it?

Nah, I prefer low (6-8) reps for 3-4 sets for strength and mass... you have to find what works for you.....
