ehhh
I just wanted to say that stretch marks really suck. I decided to bulk a couple months ago cause last time I cut I didn’t think my arms were big enough, so I have been focusing on them, along with the rest of everything but just making sure I do them every week no matter what, and I got a lot of stretch marks where my delt connects with the outside of my arm and my bis and tris. It really sucks! So, if you’re gonna bulk, I suggest you use some cocoa butter or something, keep the elasticity in the skin! One thing about them thats kinda cool is at least I know I’m putting on muscle in the right place!

If it helps, consider the stretch marks a "badge of honor" of sorts. A lot of us never grow fast enough to get them - so you’re making great gains! Keep rubbing that cocoa butter and keep working hard.

I know this sounds crazy but it works. Some friends of mine are VERY Italian, and their 72 year old father told my wife when she was pregnant to rub olive oil on her belly every night. My friend Mark said he had said the same thing to his wife and they have 4 kids and his wife has no stretch marks. So my wife did it and low and behold, no stretch marks. Just rub it on at night and put on a t-shirt and go to bed. I guess it just moisturizes the skin while you sleep. The best part is that you already have it around the hoise and its inexpensive.

Great suggestions from others. I would also recommend "Vitamin E" and "Cocoa Butter" creams. My doctors recommended them for an operation scar and, so far, they seem to be reducing the appearance of it. Both are inexpensive and can be bought at any drugstore.
