Post your stretch mark pics!

atrain08 · 03-02-2009, 05:05 PM

I read through this forum and it seems most of us have some decent stretch marks. Might as well post pics in the same thread. I'll start off.

Sorry about the fluorescent lighting, it makes me look really pale!

I've have two small ones - right down between my legs.

I will not be posting pics.

That is whats weird with my stretch marks, mine were never dark red. Just kinda pinkish. The ones on my left arm have to be over two years old and they are still pink. I have a couple on my right arm and they turned light colored pretty quickly.

drgnframe24 · 03-02-2009, 05:25 PM

i was just about to edit my post. i just looked and they are pink. maybe its only cause i normally see them right when i get home from the gym and my bloods been pumping. but they are light right now.

They make creams and **** that will help in making them go away/less noticeable... besides you could always lotion up your skin everyday... keep it moisterized.. helps it to stretch

I went from like 135 to 180ish in about a year and through all that and working out I never got any on my arms... but in 8th grade to freshman year I sprouted a couple inches and I have stretch marks on my back right above my buttcrack..... weird... they are across (side to side)...

Vaporize · 03-02-2009, 06:11 PM

those are cute OP... lol

douggiefresh21 · 03-02-2009, 06:19 PM

Pick up Palmer Cocoa Butter, says the wife (she pergy).

MadDash · 03-02-2009, 06:24 PM

I've got nasty ones just on the inside of my arm pit where the pec ties into your arm. been there ages and just keep growin.

Doesn't bother me tho, they'll fade and they are in the crease, so u can't really notice them unless i front double bicep in public

jfindon · 03-02-2009, 07:16 PM

Those aren't stretchmarks, these are. I thought they were cool at first but then they kept getting bigger and I got more of them. This is my left shoulder, right only has one big one and I have two little dots that are starting on my actual pecs. I need to try some of those creams.

Maybe I'll try getting better pictures but it's hard with a big camera and tired arms from lifting. I also have them on my inner thighs and asscheeks, but I won't take pictures of those.

RooR · 03-02-2009, 07:20 PM

i have some on my ass after i stated splitting my bowers doing ATG squarts, so i switched to boxer briefs and started using some cocoa butter on the stretch marks.

Cocoa butter is good but you gotta use it for a long time. Also, another good one that is better but expensive is Mederma

jfindon · 03-02-2009, 07:24 PM

I also heard things about Bio-Oil, I was going to see if that worked.

Hell I'll just buy them all and use them at the same times, then something HAS to work

bigdan · 03-02-2009, 07:30 PM

yeah i have a ton from my armpit down my bicep... they look goofy at first but fade with time... they are good tho means you are growing.

BigZigg · 03-04-2009, 02:47 AM

atrain yours are hardly noticable mate. It looks good actually, shows you put in the hard work

your battle scars looks fresh J! ehehehe i have those too only much more and not red but purple years ago, sometimes i feel like poking it with needle to see if blood will burst out of it. but now it's all white and unnoticeable unless they see it closer. I also got some at the back which runs across my lower back which is weird and i dont now how and why i got it.

There's another one where you can kind of see both arms.

Insanity_SC · 04-10-2009, 12:11 AM

^^^
Looks like war paint.

I've gained 30lbs in 6 months, but no stretch marks. How long did it take for you guys to start developing the marks?

jfindon · 04-10-2009, 12:17 AM

Mine started when I got around 180lbs I think. Started slow, then just kept getting bigger and got more of them. Then I started getting them on my thighs, then noticed them on my ass, and now I'm starting to see them on my triceps.

bizzlewood · 04-10-2009, 12:49 AM

cocoa butter brah

it wont shift it completely but make it look less visible

jfindon · 04-10-2009, 01:08 AM

I started using Bio-Oil, we'll see how that does.

Big Slim DaDDy · 04-10-2009, 01:13 AM

OP you can barely notice your stretch marks. I have some pretty ruthless ones I might post pics with my webcam later. Sometimes people in real life will be like what are you gonna do to get rid of those? At this point I don't really care about them. My worst ones are in the middle of my back and those are from before I even started bodybuilding. Pec/shoulder tie in area has been slaughtered by them and I have them on my biceps but those have faded in color quite a bit.

MrLovrLovr · 04-10-2009, 01:20 AM

Damn those are some major sketchmarks ..

Bio oil is supposed to be great . I just use pure aloe vera where I already have thin ones before lifting and after my shower pwo ..

chest and shoulders here oh and minor ones on biceps

Has the aloe vera made a difference?

MrLovrLovr · 04-10-2009, 02:14 AM

I dont know big slim . They havent gotten any thicker or deeper in the year or so Ive been back lifting , but I have put on mass ..

so generally speaking id say yes it works

mikeyparkster · 04-10-2009, 03:19 AM

does anyone know if eating fish oils or other nutritious food is preventative of stretch marks?

I have horizontal ones running across my back and again faded ones on my delt and faded ones on my bicep.. not toooo bad.

Big Slim DaDDy · 04-10-2009, 03:54 AM

Is there a cosmetic(surgical?) way of getting them removed? You'd think by now medical science would have thought of something as simple as this.
