Stretch Marks

[marlonbrowndo]

So I’ve been working out seriously for 2 years now. Have made great progress. (198 pounds right now at 6 feet)

However, over the past few months I’ve started getting pretty bad stretch marks on my biceps and upper chest. I’m certain it’s because of lifting. I started using neutrogena body oil everyday after showering and that helped a bit but they’re still quite visible. Any advice?

Not much you can do to be honest, has a lot to do with genetics, some people get very visible stretch marks .

Bio oil is said to help a bit if used regularly, but from personal experience it only helps marginally if at all.

Could get a consultation from a qualified professional for some sort of laser treatment or cosmetic surgery that could make it look better, the actual procedure might be on the pricey side though.

Honestly I was considering your last suggestion. Might get that done after I graduate

Used to be into weight lifting, but started preferring a lean aesthetic instead of a bulky/muscular one. Stretch marks were a concern for me as well.

However, now after a few years in an office job, I neither have a muscular aesthetic nor a lean one

I’m pretty lean. I’m not huge although I have a fair bit of muscle. I’d say I look like mark wahlberg in his younger days when he modelled for Calvin Klein

I got some on my chest when I had some josh to go super hard in the gym a few years ago specially on the bench press. Still have them but they have almost faded to the point that only my wife notices.

Once you start Boxing you will never think about these things, if you're from Qubec there should be plenty of decent gyms around; the place has a good Boxing history producing the likes of Stevenson, Pascal and the beloved / courageous Arturo Gatti (RIP, may god rest his soul)

Because they don’t look good. I see [MENTION=46929]shaz619[/MENTION] and others point that you could wear them proudly like battle scars or a sign of your hard work but I’d rather not have them
