Dealing with Stretch Marks from Bodybuilding
You may not know it, but stretch marks are not just a side effect of pregnancy. In fact bodybuilders tend to get them as well. When muscle mass is put on very quickly the skin can’t keep up and tears instead of stretching. These tiny tears are actually scars commonly referred to as stretch marks.
The stretch marks are more common in bodybuilders who use steroids because muscle growth occurs at such a rapid pace (though the stretch marks are not necessarily indicative of the use of steroids). On the one hand, building muscles lets a guy look their best, but on the other hand it causes the appearance of stretch marks which can be quite ugly.
Try to avoid getting stretch marks to begin with. Do not put on a bunch of muscle and fat (bulking up) and try to convert it to net muscle later. This is a sure way to get stretch marks. Put on lean muscle mass slowly and don’t get fat.
People are often surprised when the first begin to notice the formation of stretch marks. There are so many myths out there. Some men don’t think they can get them and stare in disbelief when they discover the red marks. Others think that they are caused by sweat or a strenuous workout. This is not the case either.
There are number of commercial stretch mark creams available on the market today to help you deal with them. They are specially formulated to provide your skin with the nutrients it needs to repair its damaged surface.
Be proud of them, as this shows that what you are doing is working and your body is growing at such a rapid pace that your skin does not even have time to stretch, but tears instead. This is the only positive spin, I can get out of this situation. Keep training hard.
