      Stretch marks and what can be done about them

      Hey Fellas,
      The stretch marks are getting out of hand. https://anonimag.es/image/JT9sT8s
      I'm currently using:
      - Collagen Gold by herbsofgold
      - Vitamin C
      - Zinc
      - Vitamin E oil both in capsules and topically

      I'm super open to any ideas about fading my marks or atleast doing my best to prevent worsening what I have.
      If anyone suggests stop growing like my friends/parents have i'll be extremely disappointed

      Cheers

      Long long ago ... on the very forvm ... someone spoke about stretch marks. He said something along the lines of "wear them with pride". Not much you can do about them, brother. Your muscles are growing faster than the skin can accommodate for. That's a great "problem" to have. They'll fade in color over time, but you can't really do much to hide them.

      That's exactly what the House told me years ago too (are you ready for it....) on Myspace....

      Yup. You can try things like Vitamin E and the other things you've listed, but I feel you'd just be wasting your money. If they are there, then they are there for good.

      I can't find it, but there was an Animal ad with Ox I think, bare chested, showing off all his stretch marks that said, "be proud of who you are."

      I really do not think you can do anything to make them 100% better. I have heard all sorts of things when I was growing but they did nothing. In time however, they healed a bit and lost their nasty red pigment. Much less noticeable now. Genetics are HUGE in this matter for I know some people who have it horrible and never went away and some others who have had them improve quite a bit.

      NOTHING will prevent or even relieve them. Period. Trust me.
      You either live with them or you have to stop lifting.

      I'm afraid Rex is right. I've had many stretch marks under my pits for YEARS ever since high school! Good news is, I've put on enough pec/delt/arm muscle to hide them.

      Just continue gettin HOOGE and your future HOOGENESS will hide the stretch marks under slabs of muscle.

      *They do eventually fade and lose that deep red color. Just give it time and follow the above instructions =)

      Thanks fellas for all the replies. No way I'm going to stop lifting especially when I am doing it right cause my shit is torn up. I guess as long as I start getting them on my calves it will be acceptable.

      Cheers
