I've had it happen when I do more intense training.

As another dude with shoulder stretch marks, I always put extra lotion on them. Dont know if it helps that much, but I doubt it is hurting at all

cocoa butter helps a lot but you need to apply it daily after shower

what's the point of lifting and looking good when you have stretch marks all over your body lmao

you can rub moisturizer with vitamin E into them to help.
otherwise keep gaining, in a few years they'll fade. These and the increased contrast are the original reason for the ubiquitous spray tan in competitive bodybuilding.

this stuff is pretty good

tore my arm up in a car accident and it made a noticable improvement in the scarring. you can get it at any drug store over the counter

It’s impossible

8/10 bait

Just embrace it, take your supplements and use your lotion and shit but in the end its largely dependent on your skin genetics. Take it in stride and wear your horribly disgusting stretch marks like the battle scars they are. In the end they'll fade over time anyways, becoming only slightly off skin color.

they'll fade but always be there.

Ex fattie with 10+ year marks all over. Shoulder ones are better then stomach and hips for sure.

That was sad yesterday or today, whenever that was.

Stretchmarks happen due to rapid skin expansion. Gain fat or muscle too fast and your skin cant keep up and stretchmarks occur. The only way to stop it from happening is to stop lifting and eating as much. So basically you need to slow down your gains. Its worse for skinnier people. However they do fade over the years from a dark red and purple color to a pinkish white.

I will never forget the time my marks got mired

You can't prevent them, despite what any post ITT says. And despite marketing claims of various lotions, serums, and other beauty products, nothing actually helps them go away any faster. Time is the only thing that will deal with them.
They appear as a result of hormonal changes in your body that your skin responds to. Contrary to popular belief it isn't just from your skin stretching, you don't put on muscle fast enough to tear skin and surpass its elastic capacity. If this was the case you'd get stretchmarks every time you pinched your skin and pulled it a bit which doesn't happen. Its hormones and genetic disposition.

They will fade with time. They'll become white eventually, then very faint, less severe. You can have them treated at a dermatologist to have them totally removed with laser resurfacing or RF micro needling, but these treatments are only worthwhile for very severe deep stretchmarks. The kind that look like mozzarella cheese being pulled apart are the only ones you'd need to get treated.

Don't worry about it, user. No one even cares or thinks they look bad.

What do you care? Are you a woman?

Man you must have been really tiny to start with friendo

For me, they appeared on my shoulders and upper back when hitting puberty

Why would you want to? It shows off how much gains you have.

>being so fucking insecure about yourself that you throw away a great opportunity to mog and impress any girl by showing you’re proud of your body because you worked for it, not just because it looks good (sending her the message that you’ll value her even when she gets old)
Lifting isn’t enough to help you make it

I tried dermarolling and now everything itches

>needing to show off your inferior genetics

Baiting this hard.

well, imagine if you're in auschwitz mode and suddenly you start taking life seriously.
Eating way more and lifting consistently
You will end up like me, making some great progress, but having stretch marks
I have some on my biceps, close to the shoulders, a lot on my legs and glutes and now, some on my chest.

I started taking uc-II, two capsules a day, I hope it helps.

Do they, really?
I read in another thread that a dude had them fade away in a matter of some years by tanning in summer and paling in winter, but I'm still skeptic. Great to know, makes me hopeful, but still skeptic.

>imagine actually believing that taking care of your body is equal to being insecure about it
And here I was, thinking Jow Forums of all places would understand this mindset

looks badass user

yes

gross

I'm assuming that's why tell tennis players wear those bands on their arms

>once a week
Isn't that too often? A label on mine said to use once a month.

Explain

You apply the lotion you carry in your boyfriend's purse after kissing him

DO NOT take collagen supplements. If you know literally anything about biochemistry you would know that cell walls are not permeable to collagen fibers so eating literal collagen does nothing for you, not to mention that collagen is immediately digested into amino acids anyway so you'd be better off drinking a protein shake than paying ~$50 for a bucket of collagen.

Fucking stay at home moms perpetuating this meme.

Arent sweet potatoes good for skin?

I paid $80 for this after I had a tumor removed and it helped my scar immensely. Asked the surgeon if it worked on stretch marks and she didn't know. After trying anyway it helps with the colour of the stretch marks but the divot/indent of the stretch is still persistent.

Sweet potatoes with the skin on have lots of vitamin A, which is in turn good for the skin. Proper nutrition is good for skin care. If you're looking for more vitamin A you can substitute sweet potatoes for anything else with a high vitamin A content, they are not unique to skin care.

So is there anything to make them go away? I have some in between my thighs

Proper nutrition and be young enough to still have elastic skin. Once you get past 30 you're fucked.

Nope, but they can fade to pale-white. And I heard derma-rolling helps, but I've only done it once, yesterday, no results yet, except for mild irritation.

They turn silver white but never go away. Laser surgery can help but im not sure if that helps 100%.

I think those would probably be for sweat, so that sweat doesn't flow down the arm and get the racket extra slippery.

Don't be fat or don't roid. It's your fault, really
