My friend is 6'0'' 195 lbs, he is going to be doing a deca dbol cycle
25mg dbol wk1-5
300mg deca wk1-8
he is concerned about getting stretch marks. what is the likelyhood of getting them and where do they usually happen. can you do anything to protect against this. any exercises that cause stretch marks more than others?
 
No one can tell you for sure if he will get stretch marks are not, everyone's body is different, some people never get them and some have them real bad. I guess it's just a chance he will have to take if he does the juice. As far as anything you can take to prevent it, I really don't know that question, maybe one of the Doc's on the board can answer that. Good Luck.
 
Got them myself to. With time they actually seem to dull or not be quite as red as when you first got them. I have some that run from my upper chest to arm pit and then I have some in my inner thigh/hamstring! Got them because I grew a little to quickly, oh well I'm not complaining!:D
 
The only place I have them is in the area of my upper chest to my arm pits also!!! They are not bad at all though.

:) Also I've tried Retin-A and vitamin e/cocoa butter.......really can't say that it helped much if any.
 
i guess i am lucky i have YET to get any. i think i got some on my ass near my hamstring, but i cant see back there. my legs grew real fast and so did my upper body but no marks for the most part. my friend got them Really bad though.. its all genetic.
 
I have them by my arm pit and really bad in my groin. At first they look really nasty, but after time they will fade and you won't be able to notice them. I don't know if moisturizing helps much, but you can give it a try. Face it, if your muscle grow too fast for your skin to accommodate, you are going to get stretch marks regardless!
 
I don't have them...unless I loose a lot of weight for example for my competition I got some but nothing bad.

It all depends on the person

How much retin-a did you use and what was the percent of it? Just curious as Ive only heard of a couple cases of retin-a being used.
 
I guess Iam lucky, I have put on bunch of weight past few years but no signs of strech marks. I heard you can put on vitamin E by breaking the pill and leaving the oil on the skin, not sure if it helps.
 
I have stretch marks on my arms, chest/armpit area, groin area, lats.
I had a few when I was natural, but this last cycle really fucked me up. They are bright red and ugly as shit.
Fuck it, it comes with the territory!!

iron, the retin-a that I used was the .1%. I used it for about a month or so, what I noticed was when I first applied it they looked more noticeable/red like and then would fade away. Can't really say that it helped much since I only used it for a short period of time and only applied it once a day. Just give it time and they fade away almost to the point where you can't see them, I got tan skin so that probably helps also!:) Hope this helps bro.!
 
try adding baby oil to your bath if you are really concerned. i got them on my chest and pits and i could really care less.
 
You might try mederma or StriVectin-SD. Mederma is over-the-counter so you should be able to find it at any drug-store. I haven't used either of these so I can't comment on how well they work. Hope this helps.
