Getting Stretch Marks during PCT

[davesah1]

So I got off my first cycle, a 20 week cycle of test E 500mg/week (T'was only supposed to be 16 but had to be extended for reasons that would prevent an adequate PCT environment). It has been four weeks after my last shot and I'm currently using torem, nolva, stane, ostarine, IGF 1 LR3, and DAA. I feel pretty good. Strength basically all still with me as well as gains. I'm 200 pounds at 5'7 and around 18% BF (thats my guess, some abs visible when flexed). I keep noticing more stretch marks on the back of my arms and under my shoulder by the pec area. What is causing this as I HIGHLY doubt I'm still growing. Its pissing me off lol. The acne sucks right now too but thats the price I pay for using gear. Gonna follow protocol and get bloods done after pct over. Doing it for 6 weeks bc of extended cycle length. No, I did not use HCG on cycle but blasted it in from my last pin until 4 days before SERM implementation. So I started using cocoa butter and what not, just don't understand why stretch marks are showing up now.

I would take a zinc/copper product. Those minerals and their ratio in your body have been known with many issues. Stretch marks are one of the minor things that an imbalance of those minerals has been associated with. Take zinc picolate and copper together in a ratio of 15:1. Maybe start out with 150 mg of zinc 10 mg of copper every other day.

If you're going to take zinc, try not to on an empty stomach. Only thing that gives me terrible nausea.

i would never go over 100mg of zinc a day.

The multi vitamin I take post workout has 50mg of zinc but only 1mg of copper. Could training frequency or arms have any effect since I am getting them on and around my arms.

I don't think their is anything anyone can do for stretch marks. The only possible way to even have a chance against them is to gain quality muscle really slow. Basically like gain 10 pounds over a year. And not 20 pounds in 3 months. I have tried every cream and oil out their and they just do not work. Some times I feel like the oils make it worse. The laser surgery to remove it might work. But it can also leave brown marks that are more noticeable than the stretch marks.

Some of my "friends" have tried to get tattoo's to cover up their stretch marks but it doesn't really help that much. I think it makes them less noticeable but you can still see indentations in the skin.

I look at stretch marks like war trophies.

I would say nothing at all

Yea***8230;... but why the hell am I getting SIGNIFICANTLY more stretch marks three weeks into PCT. Shouldn't this be the time when I'm trying to cling on to my gains for dear life and not be growing. Maybe I'm shrinking really fast lol. Scale still says 202 and I look a little leaner bc of the lost water weight. Maybe IGF LR3 is underrated. Its mostly on my arms now making the inside of my bicep look like raw burger meat.
