Yes, almost every pro has them somewhere to some degree. Vitamin E and coco butter help a little for some guys, but the only real way to get rid of them is laser treatment...which is something I'm going to do on my left bicep if it gets much worse. BTW, laser treatments hurt like a bitch!

I do it in the morning and when I get off work (before workout). After workout I shower and after that I don't feel like having oil on me. I have some horrendous marks, perhaps I'll take a pic of them sometime and post, good thing I'm not a body builder...

I love them. True battle scars

Beener · « **Reply #6 on:** October 01, 2007, 07:56:05 PM »

I've known poeple who say that its their "battle scars", but quite frankly they look like shit. Its not battle scars, usually its "you got too fat cuz you didnt eat clean on your cycle" scars.

Call them battle scars if they're real scars, not stretched skin.

I find a lil jergens keep them at bay, maybe its just the moisturizing, i dunno. I have massive stretch marks goin horizontal accross my back from when i grew like a foot in highschool. Looks like i got whipped haha, i never bothered puttin anythign on them, they arent red anymore..but my back is bumpy:P

Are you telling me you only get stretch marks from getting too fat?

Beener · « **Reply #8 on:** October 01, 2007, 09:35:23 PM »

Not everyone, but lots of the people who get huge ones gain a lotta muscle, but then even more fat which just makes the weight gain all that higher, resulting in even more stretch marks.

and as for naturals, its easier to gain a lot of fat real fast than a lot of muscle.

Its bumpy from the stretch marks. Like scar kinda bumpy. Seriously if you'd seen my back in highschool you'd have thought my father beat me wiht a knife and a whip. Stupid growth spurts. The redness went away, but theres still like channels goin accross my back. Lesson being, when you start getting stretch marks, stay on top of that, keep that bitch moisturized and use some coco butter.

shit i hear ya what was weird to me though is that i felt like my stretch marks got worse afgter my cycle even when i lost size and fat..is it just delayed reaction?

Beener · « **Reply #12 on:** October 09, 2007, 10:05:06 PM »

Tough to say dude, stretch marks are a weird thing. Some peopel get them from gaining lots of weight, others from losing lots of weight.

im no doctor so i dunno what to tell ya. maybe they just stretch, then later get more red. just a guess

Stretch marks result from stretching of the skin. They're most apparent when one either gains or loses weight/size.

There are creams that will allow you to remove stretch marks, but it can be a very long, laborious, and expensive process. Unless you're committed to seeing it through, as well as refraining from the activities that resulted in the stretch marks to begin with, you might as well not even bother.

I use to have stretch marks on my breasts, and was able to completely get rid of them.

ps - No, I won't be posting pictures to prove it.

SWOLETRAIN · « **Reply #15 on:** October 10, 2007, 06:57:57 PM »

i use a vit e/ celulite cream while tanning and it worked great. There very light and hardly noticable

lightspeed7 · « **Reply #16 on:** October 11, 2007, 11:31:26 AM »

If you want to get rid of them use retin-a it works. They will go away if you use that.

Strivectin (sp?) that shit is expensive but it really works. I was in Utah when the company first put it out and got a free bottle. It worked miracles but is expensive so I quit after that bottle. Palmers stretch mark stuff works good too.

Cocunut cream works well, most women use when there pregnant so they don't get stretch marks on there bellies.

Check biotherm's website. They have an awesome cream i used like 4 years ago and also my wife used when she was pregnant, its just great for stretch marks. A bit expensive by then (us$50) but its worth the money.

The cheaper solution is "rosa mosqueta oil"
