Do any of you have stretch marks from weightlifting? If so, what do you do to prevent them? Or do you wear tanktops to show them off?
Iron warriors, such as those AnimalPak brothas seem to love their stretch marks.

Stretch marks lol, wear them with pride brother. They are our medals that we receive in our battles with the iron way of life. I have a shitload of stretchmarks on my chest, back, biceps, triceps, even my fricken forearms, buttocks, quads, and thats about it for now. Ppl will sometimes ask me if i have tatoos and shit i usually show them my stretch marks and then they go ewww like little babies, i just look at em and laugh my ass off. Its very simple man, the bigger you get the more stretch marks you will get. Go to any bodybuilder right up close and i gaurantee you he will have enough stretch marks to supply 20 people lol.

Be proud of them.
Show them off like a trophy, because that is what they are.

Agreed, Badges of Honor they are.
I started getting a tiny one on the inside of my elbow joint while doing arms. I am STOKED. It'll be invisible til next arm session for now.

Don't worry bout the stretch marks. They're part of the game, wear 'em with pride, cuz that shit means you're growing too fast for your skin. Fuckin' awesome if you ask me. There's lotions and shit to put on 'em to control em...go ahead, they're right down the pregnancy isle in the supermarket.
Q: As my biceps get bigger, I’ve developed stretch marks on them. How do I get rid of them?
A: Your kiddin’ me right? You’re concerned about stretch marks? Most guys would cut their balls off to have stretch marks on their arms, especially the bicep. The guys I talk to all want to know how they can get bigger arms. If you have stretch marks, it means that your arms have grown. Who gives a flying fuck about stretch marks? Know what? If your worried about growing and getting stretch marks, then I have an idea: Why don't you take up knitting instead? This way you don't have to worry about that kinda’ shit. The only things you'll have to worry about are patterns and yarn colors.
