Stretch marks...WTF?

[Samurai]

I don't get why I am getting strech marks on my body(on my lower chest, my abs...yuck. Is it from having carbs after 6pm(2 to last meal, of the 6 meals btw). For my lower chest I do dips and for my abs... well I haven't really done a lot of ab work latley only because I let it get to my head that I don't need to do that much ab work since I have a moderately high metabolism and I am on a bulking phase. When my chest is pumped it looks really massive, the stretch marks dissaper; however, when chest has lost the pump the stretch marks return and my lower chest turns in to what looks like a bitch tit...What the hell?

btw: I am 5'11 203lbs (10bls is probably fat unfortunitely). I have been getting 4000 cals a day and 300 grams of protein. Not sure how much carbs I have per day. I have been off of a cycle for about 5 months and now I have finally begun another.

Consider them battle wounds...

Steach marks are signs of growth. they are caused by rapid weight loss or weight gain. In your case gain. Wear them proud. Maybe try some coco butter it might help.

You can try Mederma, designed to help with scars. You can get it at your pharmacy. It reduced the discoloration of mine substaintially.

Just say the army did an experiment on you which went terribly wrong, it makes for interesting talk on a date

How i wish i didn't have stretch marks, but they are part of the battle.

Dave Henry got me turned on to using Retin A to get rid of them. I'd say it works fairly well.

That or get a good tan and their harder to see.

Use retin A if the are still red. If the have turned white use Emu Oil.

Cocoa butter everyday before bed kept my fiance from getting ANY on her stomach during her pregnancy.

My cousin is about to have her child, she got something from her doctor that can make them go away even if they are bad. Cocoa butter is an old trick that works well, but it only prevents them i think. I will ask her what it's called.

BTW: I hear that the leaner you are when you start a bulking cycle the LESS stretch marks you will get. I started bulking with a little more fat than most would and got HELLA stretch marks, this next cycle I have already started cutting for to see if it makes a diference.

War wounds or not, chicks don't really dig that stuff as much as we wish they did.
