I wasn't sure what section to post this question in, but my problem is that I just finished my fifth cycle, and this was a bulking cycle where I was on test E, and Deca. both at 500 mg/week, and 50 mg d-bol/day. I put on about twenty pounds of solid muscle mass in this 10 week cycle, but got some deep stretch marks on my front delt/tricep tie in and near the bottom of my biceps. what are some things you all have done, and has anyone ever tried the laser treatement for stretch marks.

I just use lotion, everyday. Well, regardless of cycle, but I blew up 40lbs on my first one and had NO silverfish.

i have a few, i don't think they ever really go away they just fade. but for next bulker try to apply some shae butter before your workout then after you shower.

stretch marks are entirely genetics and topical creams have never been proven to actually work on reducing them after the fact.
To the point that most topical cream manufactures skirt around any such claims for legitimate products.
Bottom line, if you got them, they may or may not go away. Your skin is entirely yours and reacts in its own way.

Tan, like everyone else said-also Vitamin E & ZINC helps!

I noticed I was getting them on my first cycle years ago. I broke open vitamin E oil casules and rubbed them in, also used aloe, not lotion but the plant leaves. dont have a recommendation once they are already there other than tan. use the lotions and it may soften them up some.

Tell people they are from wrestling tigers - everyone will think your a badass! :thumb::thumb:
they come with the territory bro. i have tried cocoa butter and all that other shit. nothing will really work other than tanning, which will just mask them. i agree with p88, they are a sign of your growth. i always want more, the bigger i get the more stretch marks i acquire.

Stretch marks are something to be proud of. A badge of honor in our thing. Later Fina

yeah all that "they are my growth marks, where are yours" and "be proud of em" sounds good, but what when its winter and you and some new girly want to take off your shirts and get a bit close... AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! what are those things coming from under your armpits?! and look what happened, no nookie. and plus those of us who want to compete should really learn how to not get them or to make them disapere.
I think we need more usefull info about this problem. maybe its just me but i don't like mine at all and i try to hide them in the summer. Normal people have no idea they are growing marks, the just look like a bunch of fat worms on your skin streching out from your pits or wherever.
the shit they make for pregnant women should do the trick also.
