Stretch marks on a cut...?

[AestheticG0d]

Ok I may be thinking completely wrong but I thought when you cut you don't build muscle but lose fat and possibly a little muscle.

The only reason I mention this is according to my body my muscles are getting larger. I hit my back/triceps today and went home and saw this huge red mark across my left lat muscle and a few of them on my traps.

My diet is completely in check as this isnt my first cut. Is this just caused by the pump I got or what, I've never gotten the beginnings of a stretch mark from a pump.

Same thing happened to me...Bulked up to 230, now im cutting and about at 210 or a little less...Stretch marks around my armpit, i think its the change in size that your skin goes through it was stetched and now that you are getting smaller the skin is looser and reveals stretch marks. Not exactly sure, just a guesss, but same bull**** happened to me

My arms blew up incredibly fast when I was bulking so I have plenty of stretch marks from that but they are mostly faded now. Its just so annoying have to see those red bastards again.

should be proud of them if there are just a few

I only have them on my arms and my upper leg but they aren't that bad. It doesn't make me feel bad or anything, I think of them as battle scars. Just didnt expect to get any on a cut.

No idea.
But this was the Bodybuilding Tip this week:

This is one of the few reasons why I got high weight/low reps on a cut.

No Pumps, Increase in Strength, and no stretch marks.

If Im lifting regardless of reps/weight my muscles will still get full of blood and pump up.

When dieting down you most likely will gain lean muscle while at the same time losing fat. But sometimes I get stretch marks after working out that muscle for example when I do shrugs I get them on my neck but then they go right away but same with a buddy of mine his last about a day though, so yours could just be temporary.

2-4 reps will create maybe a little pump, but nothing really compared to 8-12 reps. Tempo has a lot to do with it as well.

Thanks for the advice but I dont think my body would respond to a 2-4 rep set. If it takes that ill just continue to live with my "battlescars",
