Stretch Marks !!

[JaxMMA]

Just today I noticed I got a stretch mark on my left arm bicep that runs about 3 inches from my arm pit. First time I noticed it was last year and it was only about an inch long. I thought it was just a bruise or scar from wrestling around. Never paid much attention to it. So today I took a nice look at it and it's a damn stretch mark. When I just started lifting about 3 years ago I used to do curls about 3times (3 sets of 8 reps/ 4 sets of 6 reps) a week for about a year and a half. I didn't notice anything before. Since then I've been doing a lot of weighted chin ups and pullups, horizontal pullups, and other pull-type exercises to go with my push exercises.
Is there any way to prevent any further stretch marks from appearing? Also, is there a way for the current one to heal?


Thx.

I seen some ads on tv for stretch mark creams for pregnant women, might work...

Any specific brand?
Thx.

Sorry dude, never used any myself. I guess just google for "top 10 stretch mark creams" and see what you get... or maybe ask a pharmacists or something..

There is nothing that you can do and it gets worse as you get older.
You gotta just live with it.

well... if you can... you could just grow hair everywhere and no one would be able to see... it works for me.. but then again, not everyone wants to look like cousin It. :confused:
