Do you usually get stretch marks when you gain weight or lose weight?

I started working out regularly again 2 months ago, and I'm getting new stretch marks like crazy.

I only got them during puberty. been +/- 70 lbs since then with no change. you might just be more susceptible to them

well i though you only get them when your muscles grow too fast

idk, early when I began lifting I would have alot more emphasis on my left pectoral than my right when benching/doing any pressing movements, after awhile it caused my right pec to be much smaller and my left one to get a huge strech mark that (luckily) isnt too visible but goes deep into my armpit, and i noticed it getting larger as i kept lifting.

ie - roids

my friend put on gnarly mass training 5 days a week w/ one of the kc chiefs football training dudes. he got stretch marks in his pits/chest area they've gone away now tho

think you can put like mederma or some other lotion that's made specifically for it, see the fat bitch commercial all the time :^)

you've tried shea butter? supposedly helps.

I got mine when i hit a growth spurt, my back is bad.
Most people think I got in some freak accident, it looks like I got whipped/clawed

Not a big deal though, I dont worry about those little things

Stretch marks only happen to bad people.

stretch marks are from skin stretching too fast with not elasticity.


massage therapy suggests women to use moisterizer before the baby is big and continue to use it, so that they dont get stretch marks from the baby as it grows.

its a preventative, however making the stretch marks go away needs another solution. which I dont know.

the same effect can go for muscle building. Just start moisturizing to keep from getting more stretch marks then you already have?
