How to avoid streach marks?
rohan245 Posts: 14	Aug 10, 2009 8:31 AM GMT Hey guys I wanted to know how to prevent streach marks while we are working out as I have developed some on my left sholder, and hips. Pls advice on how to avoid and also how to get rid of the ones which have appeared on my skin.

Hidden member	Aug 10, 2009 12:02 PM GMT I'd love to know this too. And please don't recommend cocoa butter. That makes my skin all soft and I smell like a sweet enticing dessert but it doesn't do anything for stretch marks.

Hidden member	Aug 10, 2009 12:29 PM GMT it is said eating right and making sure you take the necessary multivitamins and minerals A diet rich in vitamin E should help. Since they are caused by muscle growing too fast for the skin to keep up, you may want to consider your muscle growth phase

Some folks have skin that get stretchmarks easily. Since you're to lazy, or to stupid, to complete a profile and upload pictures, that's just a guess. You were to lazy to even enter your weight and height. It would be reasonable to assume you exhibit such poor performance elsewhere in your life, as well.

And he's audacious enough to call other people stupid. Can't even tell the difference between the averbial use of "too" or the prepositional use of "to." I'm telling you, Chunks4Brains is such an entertaining contradiction.

The guy that owns my gym is a former competitive body builder. He's in his early 50's and the skin on his body is smooth and flawless. He said that after every single shower, he applies lotion and has since he was in his teens.

KissingPro Posts: 990	Aug 12, 2009 3:27 PM GMT Strivectin.......a bit expensive and you have to apply it and use it for a while, but it works to reduce the stretch marks.
Craigjd Posts: 97	Aug 12, 2009 7:07 PM GMT there is a pruduct called bio oil in aystralia that will minimise stretch marks (i used to be 150 kg i know!) and sudden weight gain..like muscle will also cause them

realmac Posts: 80	Aug 14, 2009 1:59 AM GMT I need to need to rub myself down with cocoa butter and vitamin e now...
Cgjock Posts: 20	Aug 31, 2009 2:15 AM GMT From weight lifting, they are caused by pulling and tearing of the skin as muscle size increases. Stretch marks will fade on their own but yeah vitamin E (not some cream but the real deal from a gel cap massaged into the skin) has been known to help (there is some debate about this tho). However! Rather than lookin at stretch marks as a flaw or something to be covered up, look at them as friggin war marks man and something to be proud of - pushing yourself to be better, stronger and doing something that 99.9% of society is to lazy to experience. A gym rat doesn't hide this shit - show'em off!!! Peace!
JrdnS Posts: 142	Aug 31, 2009 4:46 AM GMT I suggest dry skin brushing - more effective than just your typical "exfoliating" it also helps lymph move through your system properly. More importantly - clear 100% aloe vera mixed with a "smashed-between-your fingers" vitamin E capsule is probably the most cost effective way to moisturize after dry brushing. For you penchant-naturalist-psychopaths use almond oil and aloe. Furthermore - recognize that "stretch-marks" are a natural occurrence and to some extent should be considered a badge of honor... be glad it isn't from weight-gain or from miscellaneous fetal parasites. by the way... For more information on dry brushing... press cntrl-T, type in google, and google it you lazy-bum. I am not your infomatics bird mother... and I'm not regurgitating the information for you. good day
