/Fit/ Have you ever made so much gains you get stretch marks?

How do I fix this. and how to avoid it. I dont wanna stop getting bigger but i dont wanna look like a burn victim.
>>
>>40069122
stop using gear
>>
>>40069122
Embrace them, some girls like "tiger stripes"

If you're using gear, stop
>>
Same thing happened to me when I first started lifting, not sure why. Maybe I should've used lighter weights? At any rate, best thing you can do is conceal them.
>>
I have them since puberty when we had to go to the gym additional to our sports training. Its just on the back and you can barely see it now
>>

They mean you're doing it right. They fade away eventually but it takes years. You're probably won't get any more of them though.
>>
I've got those on my ass and shoulders
Still waiting for them to go away, l'm not convinced they do
>>
>>40069539

They fade. They'll not go away. You can get tattoos or surgery to cover/remove them, but naturally they'll never just go.
>>
>>40069539
Have had them for 10 years. The colour fades, the scarry tissue will always be there
mine isnt very deep but you still feel it if you scratch your back
>>
>>40069122
Don't bulk too hard and stay lean. A 200-300kcal surplus is enough and those gains won't stretch your skin.
>>
>>40069122
I got fuck loads just from puberty in weird places like across my knees and the middle of my back. They don't go away, but fade a little.
>>
>>40069634
>not wanting gains so huge you rip apart

i have them on my biceps, triceps, legs and butt
>>
>>40069551
Fuck. I just noticed I got some on my shoulders this week
>>
my stretch marks only showed once i went from 245 lbs to 170

What exactly is your problem with burn victims?
>>
>>40069122
I got some in the pit of my shoulders - pec area, and in my groin, but in my groin I think I have had for many many many years before I started lifting.

Basically yeah use coconut oil or a similar lotion every day and the one day you dont they will come back... Theres not an easy way to get rid of them and they eventually fade

Its entirely based on genetics.. some people get them way worse than others, some people never get them at all. doesn't have much to do with routine
>>
>>40069774
Natty gains won't do that, unless you gain fat a lot of fat.

>>
>>40069122
Come to terms with the fact that you don't need to exceed a certain point of diminishing returns because you have body image issues.

If you aren't a paid pro athlete why pay the money for the extra calories to maintain the excess mass.
>>
>>40070144
Tbh I got stretch marks natty cuz i just started lifting.
>>
ITT: People who are jelly of fast gains

They're very common, don't worry about it brah
>>
So do i slow down my routine? or just rub cream?. That is essentially my question. I already started a cut.
>>
>>40070144
This is bullshit

Drink a lot of water, use lotion, and don't bulk too fast and you can minimize it. I have them, and it sucks

>>40070144
I went from weighing 160lbs 6'3" skellymode, gained 50ish lbs of predominantly lean mass in a couple years and I had stretch marks exactly where OP has them, also on the inside of my thighs from leg growth,
>>
Retinal A cream seems to work well - have them all over and it sucked for a while but you get used to them and they fade.

I refuse to believe thatt nigger lost 300 pounds in a year without surgery or something.

I got some on my biceps, lats, butt, and inner thigh.

I have them on my shoulders from a growth spurt, I have them on my gut from being obese.

made this post yesterday

white people are fucking dumb when it comes to stretch marks

get some lotion that has vitamin E and cocoa butter

massage it into stretch marks that are still red once in the morning and once before bed

they'll be gone in a few days

goddamn it's not that difficult

>>
>>40069122
Hey op try putting some bio oil on the area each night, should lessen the scars and prevent new ones from forming. Basically anything that's vitamin e rich will help

I had the same problem where the back of my biceps were getting it, bio oil stopped it and reduced the redness for me

Use Bio Oil and Vitamin E Ointment to prevent it in the future (It's the same shit pregnant women use).
As for the ones you have, they'll fade away eventually, but never disappear. Make sure to keep them covered from sunlight, because they will end up staying dark forever if you don't.

wait what this is a thing?

please tell me its just for roid users

I lost a lot of weight, and have them all across my belly and biceps. I've never even thought about them really. Does this bug people?

>>
>>40070144
It's probably more normal to get them if you start from skelly mode.

I got stretch marks on both biceps and all over my butt doing fucking SS. Why would I take gear for that
>>
Sorry you're getting your gains too fast OP

>>
>>40069224
It's simple, muscle gains fast skin can't keep up...
>>
>>40069122
I've got them on my backs for growing too fast in Highschool and playing spots like basketball and volleyball. After I started lifting, got them on bicep and shoulder. They get less visible over time, but it will never be smooth area as before.
Also these people unironically saying "get off gear"

Reading this thread I'm unsure if this is high level sarcasm I am too autistic to understand or what

>>40069122

Bro you're looking GREAT. That size looks really lean to me, you're like 15% bodyfat?

You got stretch marks just because you were adding lean muscle to your body too quickly.

This is a trophy to show what great progress you made. Wow.

Keep it up. Maybe 2 GOMAD a day. Another starting strength success story.

>how to avoid it

Just impossible with how fast you are making those gains man and putting on pure muscle
>>
I've got them on my upper triceps, upper biceps, a big one sort of in the pit on my shoulder and some by my groin, all from lifting

They're pretty minor, and I do dislike them, but at least it shows I've been making gains

I've had a weird mark/bruise in the same spot since I started doing bench press around 7 months ago. I never realised until now that this is probably what it is.

You can get silicone sheets and gel which will reduce reddening and scarring.

I'm using it to get rid of a scar that looks like a zit right dead center between my pecs.
