    strech marks

    I have been working out for a while..and my arms have gotten a lot bigger than they used to be..and i got stretch marks on the back of my arm by my arm pit running along the back of the arm...now just recently i started taking creatine and i have gotten more just in the last week...but when i wasnt on creatine i wasnt getting them...and the funny thing is that i only have these stretch marks on one arm..how can i prevent getting any more and can i make the ones i have now go away..???

    For most people, increasing your body fat significantly will allow you to pack on mass without getting bad stretch marks, if any
    They say that when your ships comes in
    The first man takes the sails
    Second takes the afterdeck
    The third: the planks and rails.

    who wants to get stretch marks? i guess you can always lose the fat later... stretch marks are another story

    Hi quiksilver9531,

    There are various threads on how to reduce stretch marks that have been posted. Do a search under the term stretch marks, specifically in the general health forum and you should find the answer to your question!

    Try this link (hopefully it will work) http://www.wannabebigforums.com/sear...earchid=167176

    At the end of the day remember you are weight training and trying to get your muscles to grow larger than they would normally. So it stands to reason your skin will stretch particularly if you are growing at a fast rate.

    Some people do view stretch marks as a good thing as it shows you are growing

    however, if you do the search above you should be able to find some good ideas on how to reduce them.

    Good luck.

    I have stretch marks on both my arms and have been using Palmer's Cocoa Butter Cream and Palmer's Cocoa Butter Massage Lotion for Stretch Marks. While my marks haven't gone away, they are far less noticeable than they once were.

    Aren't stretch marks pretty much permanent? Sort of like stretching a plastic baggy with your fingers...doesn't really go back?

    I wear mine with pride.
    Out of the night that covers me,Black as the Pit from pole to pole,I thank whatever gods may be for my unconquerable soul. In The fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance my head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears looms but the horror of the shade And yet the menace of the years finds, and shall find, me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate how charged with punishments the scroll,I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.

    stretch marks dont go away, as said above. Fattening up; stretches your skin too smarty pants. Theres really no way around it. They fade after about 6 months, im brown so i can barley see mine
    think youve got an edge on me? think again.

    my stretch marks are horrible. On the inside of both my armpits, it looks like i got slaughtered with a sword. I also have them in the armpits of my legs, aka groin area. I think they are cool, but most people think they are discusting. oh well...

    LOL. Me too. And just when they start fading, I get more, even bigger. Oh well, its not like I'm going to shrink anytime soon.

    They faded really well during the summer, but now that I've restarted lifting I'm getting them back, they're now passing my biceps and wrap around my armpits to my back and a little on my back, crotch, back of calves, over pectorals and I've just learned to deal with it, they all fade eventually.
