Stretch marks? Anyone else had this problem?

[Mike1991]

I started lifting 2 months ago, prior to this I have never been in a gym in my life. I scoured this forum for all the info I could find so that I wasn't wasting my time in the gym. The problem is I am growing TO fast.

My bodyfat was around 15% when I started at 200 pounds. I have gained 45 pounds in 6 weeks and my bodyfat is around the same. Anyways I have been getting huge stretch marks all over my back, and around shoulders, is this normal? Heres what I'm stacking:

Creatine Mono
ON Whey
Glutamine
Super pump 250
Animal Pak

Like I said I have always been very strong, I guess I was blessed with good genes. I'm 245 right now and I plan on bulking up to 280 or so, then cutting to 240 or around there, but I do not want to continue gaining so fast if these stretch marks get a lot worse.

I have dramatically improved my diet, and went from my maintenance calories of about 4000 to 8000 each day. I eat 12 dozen eggs each week, 1 gallon of milk each day, a ton of tuna, fish oils, nuts and a ton of chicken.

45 pounds in 6 weeks is the answer to your question.

Too much weight gain in a short period of time.

I think the recommended weight is around 1 lb per week.

I feel you. The experts told me it's all about the cocoa butter and vitamin E mixes, to keep them from forming. Mine are less and less noticeable everytime I go to the tanning bed, but you're going to have to get them laser removed when you become older and richer. I know that's what I'm going to be doing atleast.

I love mine... have one on my bicep (left arm) and inside tricep (right arm). As well as all over my damn legs. I love the one's on my arms, hate em on my legs.

Take em as they come, it means yo're growing and doing something right.

heres mine on my bicep.

[MasterKevin]

To save you a lot of time. Use BIO OIL.

[Mike1991]

Thanks guys, getting some great feedback, as long as I'm not alone on this one, I'm gonna try the Bio oil and vitamin E. I don't mind the stretch marks on my shoulders really, but the ones on my lower and upper back are brutal, someone actually asked me if I was beaten as a child lol.

How is this possible?

Noobie gains I suspect, probably some water weight in there to because of the creatine, like I said Ive never been in a gym in my life prior to this.
