1) what the fuck is this and why wont it go away 2) ??? really? I do bicep curls a little too hard and now im permanently disfigured? what the fuck! FUCK
making serious gains brother
STEROID ALERT
>>75710118we got another one lmao
>>75710118go to to the pharmacy and buy shia oil or some other similar oil chicks use. then oil that shit up regularly. its the only way to diminish them
>>75710118Stretch marks. Congrats on them being due to muscle growth and not getting fat.
>>75710118This is God giving you a tattoo.Keep lifting brah.
>>75710118Sunbathing will help in making the strech marks less visible, but they're never going away. Welcome to the club brotha
>>75710118Those are stretch marks, retard.
>>75710118>this guy literally got a skin splitting pump
>>75710118was about to post a thread about thisIm using Tret from some indian website, red light therapy etc collagen pills and they are about 25% of what they were. But dude more just keep coming
>>75710118being fat or gaining muscle does that. basically you have to stay skinny forever to keep your young smooth skin.
>I do bicep curls a little too hardThings that are most beautiful take multiple lifetimes, rushing is very ugly
stop with the memes you guys i'm really scared
>>75710118idk wtf it actually is, but heroic doses of phototherapy get rid of basically every skin problem.
>>75710505>stop with the memesIt's not a memeThose are stretch marks They'll eventually turn into thin scarsYou may be able to alleviate most of it with regular skin massages - 5 minutes every hour: alternating arms
>>75710118I got one of those on my right biceps. I like it though, looks kinda cool.
>>75710132SPBP
>>75710118I literally just started lifting and have these already because god hates me. I oil them everyday with bio oil, it doesn’t really help, or maybe it would be worse and I can only slow it down
>>75710118Stretch marks
>>75710118Roids lol. I think you got dirty roids. Start jerking off and fucking.
>>75710132holy shit nattytrannys are retarded
>>75710699lmao anther natty retard
>>75710118Maybe taking collagen supplement help.CAPTCHA: YYMMM
>>75710704The only options are roids or puberty. Assuming he's an adult, only 1 choice. Natty muscle doesn't grow that fast dipshit.
if these are indeed stretch marks, I can confirm that several months of daily intense pulsed light therapy combined with turmeric and bromelain supplements gets rid of them.
>>75710118>>75710263>>75710505This is from lack of sunlight, tanning will get rid of it
>>75710743>turmeric and bromelain supplements Topical or oral?
>>75710707If you're not roiding there are only 3 ways of getting stretch marks, being fat, thats out, getting pregnant, not a ladies stomach, or hitting puberty.>puberty>on roidsOP must be one.
>>75710741Not when you are natty anyway, some of us have a lot of testosterone natty
>>75710747oral, but there are also some trials of topical out there.
>>75710773recent example: https://brieflands.com/articles/jjnpp-144048
>>75710741>>75710748its most likely a picture of a fat guy who lost weight. But you retards believe everything you see on the internet without question.You actually think he got stretch marks from roiding with 12" noodle arms with zero muscle tone? Really?
>>75710784If he was a total twink & just started, yea. Most likely puberty though. Also thats not what fat to thin stretch marks look like. They're more faded.>t. Fat guyThe stretchmarks are only that bright in the new/growing stage.
>>75710118no refunds
>>75710118wait until you become a boomer and start slowly losing the muscle you gained when you were younger and now have loose old skin that wrinkles when you flex.t. boomer
I'll be a bro since finding good advice on imageboards is rare nowadays.Those are stretchmarks.To avoid them, moisturize your skin frequently where they (would) appear - usually around the hips, lower back, armpits and biceps. They may appear on other places as well but those are the usual culprits.I successfully made them go from very noticeable (red/purple-ish) to barely noticeable (white/skin color) by applying a cream called Vitacid (that's what its called in my country) every 2 days if I recall correctly.Try to find a similar cream and go to a dermatologist if you can afford.Godspeed anon.Spread love unlike these crabby fags.
>>75710862lower stress on the heart and perfect skin: thinpill wins in the end
>>75710118rub vitamin E on it. muscle strain. stop doing whatever you're doing.stretch marks don't fucking go away. you need to basically get them lasered. I have some from a growth spurt I had in my teens. I'm 30. I hate them.
>>75710867>I successfully made them go from very noticeable (red/purple-ish) to barely noticeable (white/skin color)That's what they do by themselves kek, it's scar tissue.I have a bunch of these on my arms, legs and armpits. Didn't do anything and they look like you describe.
>>75710748That's not true, I got stretch marks from lifting and I've never done steroids.
>>75710876>laseredif your skin is Fitzpatrick 4 or lighter, IPL works fine, those units run under $100.
>>75710505They're stretch marksI used to be fat so I have them on my sides but they're faint nowThe ones on my biceps are more prominent There's apparently a cream that pregnant women used for their stretch marks that makes them go away
>>75710118ayo this nigga hulk-shredding out of his skin
>>75710898>Fitzpatrick 4Interesting, never thought about this, figured it was painful and cost a zillion bucks. I'm a 3 apparently (just held my arm up to my monitor). Thanks... might look into this.
>>75710741thighs, pecs and shoulders easily can when you start training.Usually a sign you're putting on fat as well as muscle though.
>>75710926I just got new ones on my upper chest after a few weeks of intensive incline bench work. It can happen.
^ not a new lifter fwiw
Congratz OPnow you know the secret of the bodybuilding community and why so many people of our community decide to go for tattoosthe true reason for this is a closely guarded secretI hope you will keep itwe are watching you(r stretch marks)
>>75710960Stretch marks are cool, tattoos are for niggerfaggots.
>>75711021stretch marks are not cool, they're a pain in the ass, but also most people have them so it's not worth making a big deal out of them.
>>75710118Stretch marks, because it's a rip in the layers of skin that get filled in with scar tissue.Yes.Don't whine.
>>75711116> but also most people have them OH SAY CAN YOU SEE
>>75710118That looks badass, I never got ones on my front delts like that, even though I got considerably larger than when I started
>>75711116>most people have themNot on their arms, chest and shoulders.Roiding for them doesn't count ofc. Then it's basically just a chemical induced nigger doodle, aka a tattoo (for niggerfaggots).
>>75711346this, I don't know why he's so freaked out about it
>>75711354uhh maybe because I don't want to look like a disfigured freak like the rest of you
>>75711398book an appointment with your doctor and tell him you suspect that you're ill with niggerfaggitus
>>75710176Yep, you should be proud you earned your stripes.
>>75710118Your first stretch marks noob
>>75710118he tried to warn you. lifting manmade metal destroys your body and your lifespan
Deadlifts gave me lower back stretch marks. Looks like a tiger mauled me or something.They faded to white over a few years, but you can still feel them. Morturizing your skin everyday isnhow you prevent them. Once they've appeared, you can't get rid of them completely, but they'll fade to white and get thinner.
>>75710132this guy doesn't look like he's roiding lol
>>75710118I got these from doing pullups at 230lbs and quickly going up in bicep curl weight. Never used steroids. My arms are big but it's muscle and fat. They went down to where I bend my arm. Eventually they faded to white and blend in with my skin after a few months.
>>75711654Similar story here, got them from spamming chins and biceps curls when I was just starting out
>>75710118Theyre the sign you're making fuckin gains nigga, you're making it
are people saying stretch marks memeing? how the fuck can you build muscle so fast that you get fucking stretch marks, that makes no sense.
>>75711774he joocing
>>75711774you didn't make big noobie gains in the first three months you started lifting? bad genes
>>75711774Nope, not a meme. I got stretch marks on my shoulders/outer pecs from doing 20lbs dumbbells bench press to 50lbs in less than 3 months and I was skinny. When I first started, just 35lbs felt like overkill lol. Noobies gains are not a meme
>>75711766Not memeing>>75711774Forgot to say here I also got some on my quads during the first couple months
>>75711844>>75711847i don't believe this at all. you probably ruptured some blood vessels or something.
>>75710118>wah wah muh skin why wont it go awayShut up and enjoy your battle scar
>>75711774I got mine at ages 17-18, I went from struggling to bench 100lbs to reps to repping 1/2/3/4 while I gained 50lbs
>>75711850Yea those clearly look like ruptured blood vessels and not stretch marks. Looks very similiar to what I get on my shoulder when doing standing calf raises, just the position on the front is kinda wierd here.
>>75710118that's the least worst rood side effect - u gain size quicker than ur skin can absorb and your skin has to grow so that u will turn into parashoot when u come off, and since it can't grow that much that fast it rips - think ducette or israetel belly >waaah, i got loose skinnnnnn, look how loose my skin isssssss>pulls on it - yep, an fucking parashoot >a..bs just don't look as good as u a...ge xDwell u were never supposed to be 3 times ur natural size imbecile, nor were u supposed to fluctuate in weight 20% of your body mass willy nilly periodically i coined the term venom tiger claw marks, cause u've been slapped by venomous tiger and your balls are never coming back to normal function and u're walking with that mark and when weather gets warmer and u want to show off ur "gainz" u have to show how u got these watery blobs u call muscle no it doesn't happen naturally unless u get extremely fat at the same time, my shoulders are pristine and way way bigger than this sorry asshole in op pic>>75711941>I got mine at ages 17-18, I went from struggling to bench 100lbs to reps to repping 1/2/3/4 while I gained 50lbsexactly what i said bot - never get fat, there is no reason to get fat >>75711938>Shut up and enjoy your battle scarthe battle to pop a pill or poke needle in ur asscheek that he lost? or battle against gluttony that he also lost ? xD
>>75711850>>75711942It's stretch marks you retard. They fade to white over time.
>>75712078>fade to white over timeover decades yes and they stay with you forever bot>>75712065

>>75710118its ok brah, they fade away after 10 years or so
>>75712149lol :D >>75712087>over decades yes and they stay with you forever bot>>75712065
Who the fuck would send a bot to argue about stretch marks you schizo faggot
>>75712087It doesn't take decades, mine went away within a few months. I didn't use lotion or cream or whatever routines people suggest

>>75710118go see a doctor dumbass, 4chan is not gonna help you here
I got stretch marks on my shoulders doing pic related hard af
>>75712664yeah idk what these retards are talking about you absolutely can get stretch marks from lifting naturally. shoulders biceps and chest are the prime locations for it to happen.
>>75710505My wife used this during her first pregnancy and didn’t get a single stretch mark. It’s mostly coconut oil and cocoa butter - I’m sure a vat of either one would have the same effect. Just rub some on after the shower, your skin will heal in time.
>>75710118looks sexy as fuck
>>75712643it is too late, he's not obese so the balls are fried forever >>75712664>>75713470>bot: blah blah the truth: >>75712065>>75713900about as sexy as cutting scars because u did it to yourself and shows that u are fucked up bot
>>757101181) Those are stretch marks, and they fade over time. Use what >>75713773 suggested, or a more potent solution (what I used for mine) was retinol, .5% mixed with Bakuchiol .5%, cost like $45 premium grade derma shit, but it made the marks fade hella fast.2) You're not permanently disfigured retard, you're actually experiencing what 90% of the /fit/ community never will - gains. Want to know how I know most of fit is DYEL? Because the last time I saw a thread related to stretch marks was in twenty fucking eighteen. You are most likely to get stretch marks->Near armpits>Front shoulder>Glutes/ButtocksBecause these are where the skin on the body is the tightest, and muscle grows faster than the skin develops in those areas.Congrats anon, you're a fucking lifter. You're actually gonna make it if you stop sperging like a retard.
>>75713971The copium on this guy is real - he thinks natty people don't get stretch marks? Jfc, /fit/izens really don't lift
>>75713984wtf, they had .5% ret/Baku? I used .25%. Cost me $60 too. I got ripped off.
>>75713990they don't bot, if they don't bloat at the same time they don't bot, i benched twice my body weight starting from 50 kilos first go in below year, natty 4 life - zero stretchmarks, but i gained just few kilos of weight and stayed the same bf >>75713984>You're not permanently disfigured retardbs bot, he is done for, because roids>1) Those are stretch marks, and they fade over time. Use what >>75713773 suggestedit won't do shit, especially for his ballsack :D >>75712065
>>75714041>wtf, they had .5% ret/Baku? I used .25%. Cost me $60 too. I got ripped off.there are cheaper intense pulsed light units out there.>ITT: phototherapy skill issues.
>>75710132more like noob gains. I had those too and I wouldn't even know where to get roids
It is often best to view such problems through the lens of caveman era sexual selection, to realize just how extremely short the scope of modern history is. Its because your evolution history. Your ancestors usually didn't have access to the resources required for extremely fast muscle growth that only modern peoples get to enjoy, so there hasn't been any statistically relevant breeding pressure involved with 'maximum skin stretching capacity', even though some beings possess super skin that almost never scars. Your starving ancestors developed muscle and fat tissues over much longer periods of time, resulting in little to no skin stretching scar tissue ever being visible enough to discourage females from reproducing with them, so there is almost no genetic selection versus stretch scar tissue. Superficial issues such as this, being what they are, are often far less prioritized by sexual mates, the brutality of raw muscle power being far more statistically sexually relevant than whatever ugliness may appear upon that muscle tissue. You should celebrate that this alleviates most of your lack of confidence, but warn be wary, because we do now exist in an age where your sexual targets DO have the resources and time to now sexually select for such superficialities, even being so low priority as they are. Another one is baldness - not enough time to sexually select against baldies, even though hair helps massively vs sunburn, the brain now shielding itself with hats. It doesn't really matter so long as the industries of bioengineering continue to progress and proliferate, as all such problems are easily solvable with intelligent ingenuity, in various ways, such as the photonic treatment another anon pointed out here, and eventually artificial skin grafts, etc.TL;DR: If the cavepeople era had lasted much, much longer, very few of the genetic problems modern society currently experiences would still exist. It is only a matter of time before all things are perfected.
>>75713984Can you tell me the brand/store you got your retinol + bakuchiol lotion or serum from? I'm not seeing it for less than $100. Most of the products I see are either retinol or bakuchiol besides one than has .3% retinol and 2% bakuchiol for 90 bucks.
>>75710118I get shit like this on my shoulders a lot from standing calf raises.
>>75714588that's different but i switched to seated calf raise because of that
>>75714580Those rates are bullshit, but at the same time wouldn't be surprised that there was inflation, I got mine in early 2023 pre-Biden era inflation. I got mine from a local dermatology clinic that was selling that shit for like $45 a vial, but when I called today and asked they said it was going for like $65. Point is, it works, and one vial will be more than enough for that. Source: I had REALLY fucking bad ones, used it for a month, they're gone and I still have a third of a vial left. You do NOT need alot of this stuff, it's literally just a tiny squirt once/twice per day, then put body lotion on after.
>>75714133This just illustrates the limits of "sexual" or "natural" for evolution, while the point of this board is a newer, more personal, and artificial kind of "evolution.">just do the freakin' phototherapy.
>>75710862This is because you're not nearly as active. Picrel is a shit example, this dude did monster cycles and can't keep it up anymore. No shit he's losing his muscle.
>>75710118i've got massive stretch marks around my biceps, triceps, pecs and traps too. they go away but very slow. the ones around my biceps stuck around for almost an year dude. this is what happens when you grow muscle way too fast but your skin can't keep up with it, people who use steroids don't get this because their skin also gets bigger but they suffer from acne and other skin problems instead.
>>75714715Best I could find was .3% retinol and 2% bakuchiol for like 60 an ounce. The cheaper ones I saw were all sketchy Asian sites.
>>75710132I got these when training natty. Literal skelly before so it's understandable I like them. Medal of honor but on my skin
>>75710118Stretch marks. They fade over time, but they never really go away completely. They will become a lot less noticeable over time. Tons of people have them, actually. Especially well endowed women and dudes that lift. There are some treatment methods, but I don't know a thing about them and how effective they are. You should be thankful they're on your delts from lifting and not your love handles or thighs from gaining weight. Can try seeing a dermatologist if it really bothers you
>>75710118People say they last forever but I had as bad as what you've got when I first started and now they're completely gone. Took over 5 years, maybe longer, but whatever. You're not playing to die in the next 5 years are you?
>>75711777
>>75710118poor guy thought that gymceling will make him aesthetic. he doesn't know it's all genetics and there is no escape
>>75710118Some muscle fiber teared, it always happens but usually it is smaller.I advise for you to take a break and invest in some skin care, because that shit will scar
>>75718473>toreFix'd.
>>75718473I thought women liked scars?
>>75718473>Some muscle fiber tearedlol no, it's skin, and it's way way nastier than some cut, worse than blunt trauma even - that's why it's so persistent and ugly >>75718538that's not an scar though, that's >i ate too much over long period of timeor>i have castrated myself and will turn into eunuch when not if i stop roodsor both le meine:>>75712065>>75717948>>75718639
>>75718771Anon, your genetics are below trash if you think you need roids to get stretch marks from muscle gains. My arms are just a tiny bit over 16" and I have stretch marks from my first year noobie gains. Eventualy they "fade" and turn more or less the same color as your skin and you really have to stare at it to be able to tell they're there but they will never quite go away.
>>75711774i have stretchmarks on my bis, tris, delts, chest, quads and lats from when i started lifting
>>75718816Well, to be fair maybe I'm the one with bad skin genetics but I'd rather call you genetic trash.
>>75710118starch masks
>>75716901>I like them. Medal of honor but on my skinKinda based
>>75718816>blah blah blah stfu bot, i got u good, very good >>75721290so fucking good that u range blocked posting images that's how scared u are bitch bot gpt
>>75710118I just got one on my Forearm whilst working our today.
>>75711774By actually lifting weights hard and eating enough to stimulate muscle growth, retard.It sounds like most people here never lifted hard enough to max out even their noob gains, so they assume anyone who did is roiding or just fat.
