Busting out of my skin
Has this happened to anyone else?
So I've been working hard and have put on ~30 lbs since January 1, with a size increase over all of my body but particularly upper body. However, this has caused stretch marks on the right interior skin covering the bicep, and on both shoulders below the rear deltoid and above the armpit. Is this normal? Any advice?

Re: Busting out of my skin
Sounds like you have them in the exact same spots as me. Gaining weight at a rapid pace will cause this. Make sure to use Vit E cream daily to remove and prevent them. Wish i knew about Vit E before i got mine, mine are huge now.

Re: Busting out of my skin
Thanks for the advice. I have tried a regular moistureizer to no avail on these spots. Are there any other areas where this may occur? I'm just looking at prevention for future marks.

Re: Busting out of my skin
Most people get them exactly where you stated but i also have a few little ones on my upper thigh. But i actually like those ones [img]/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]. They are like small tiger stripes on my quads and very hard to notice unless you look hard enough.

Re: Busting out of my skin
Yea, its just intruiging because this kind of stretching to the skin must occur during the pump since the muscles are much "larger." As you get bigger, your skin ought to keep up as your diet is high in protein and you will have the nutrients availible to allow your skin to grow.

Re: Busting out of my skin
Yeah I used to train a long time ago for a while, mostly uneducated, but I made sure I worked hard on bis and tris, and then I got unmotivated.
I kept training on and off, then when I got some creatine and went back and did a couple of weeks of hardcore sessions I got some huge stretch marks from under the armpit along the inside of my bicep and the same on the opposite side (but much smaller) Also then I started cycling in to work and got the same along the tops of my thighs :P They do tend to fade and go flesh coloured after a while, instead of red. I don't really mind them
