Male Stretch Marks

canadianlifter · 03-28-2009, 11:00 PM

Ive noticed this happen to me before when I had to take some time away from the gym. I havent been able to lift for about 4 months now (waiting for elbow surgery) and I noticed like before I get what looks like stretch marks from my trap area down to my upper chest. Its easier to see is different lighting but you can see it a bit in these pics.
Can you all see where Im talkng about?
I am looking forward to surgery and being ble to lift again and get back in the shape I want to be in

I see what you mean, but that doesn't seem to be like a place people would normally get stretch marks. I think that stretch marks come from your skin stretching too much too fast. The trap/upper chest area would seem like a very slow place to change in size.

I know what your saying---but the only other time those lines really showed up was 4 years ago when i had to take quite a bit of time off due to a shoulder injury. After getting back at it for a while they seemed to almost disappear but now they are back.

Probably because when most people think of stretch marks they think pregnancy + female = stretch marks and he was probably looking for some feed back on how to get rid of them... Jus sayin'

Which if that was the case, there is another thread that just started about stretch marks and what women are using that works....

well the search function would work amazing for him if thats what he wanted. All he asked was if the stretch marks were visible. Jus sayin'
