Oh for fucks sake, god damn fucking stretch marks

[Skippy]

I've noticed just now I had stretch marks on my hamstrings.

I haven't deadlifted in freakin time, and when I did it was only about 5-6 times, so it's not like I've got these from lifting weights by any means, especially since I don't actually lift anymore.

This is going to sound stupid, but the only thing I can think of is for the last week or so I've went alot more strenuous with stretching since I noticed I was coming to a plateau. I mainly focused more on stretching my hamstrings.

Is it generally possible to get stretch marks just from, well...stretching?

I was under the impression you needed generally fast muscle growth or fast fat gaining to create these, I am not fat by any means haha. This is deeply annoying ¬.¬ unless my hamstrings have like, miraculously started growing for no reason.

No sir, I've lost about 17 lbs this summer and been running 7 miles everyday, and doing my stretches, and I'm getting more stretch marks... mine are all on my inner thighs though, so unless I'm spread eagle and buck naked they are invisible.

[Skippy]

Well ofcourse, noone can see them so it doesn't bother me as far as other people seeing them.

It bothers me that I can though, but if I knew why they were there, it would bother me less =p

I got a pretty impressive amount of stretch marks just from going from 220lbs to 150. They dont look terrible, and none on my gut like you generally see on fatter people so i should be thankful. But I did net some on my biceps, under my arms, on love handles and on insides and backs of thighs. Some people get them from growing very quickly, never heard of anyone getting them from stretching tho. Also never seen a gymnast or contortionist with stretch marks and they're the stretchiest people i know.

That's me right there. I grew from something like 5"10 to 6"4 in year 9-10, where i went from average height to tall.
I have stretch marks along my lower back side of my hips.
They were noticeable back then, but not anymore.

[simba_25]

Gymnasts do get stretch marks!! Its really bloody annoying but we do.

[ninjitsian]

i only read the first post, but yes sir. also if youre age is really what it says then you could be having a growth spurt. i have massive stretch marks on my back. it makes my giant tattoo look horrible, but dont sweat it dude. there are ways around it.

[Ernest]

Well skippy, you've lost a lot of body fat recently yes? Well then.

[Skippy]

If you mean I went from having a 4 pack to a 6 pack then yes =p Maybe my ass/hamstrings was carrying a lot of baggage =[

Indeed, in the course of 12 weeks I went from 134lbs to 162lbs, although now I am about 158.

I never done any leg exercises that would have caused hypertrophy, but yes, maybe my hamstrings wanted to store fat if thats the case. I find it such a weird place if it did.

Ah well, life goes on. Thanks guys <3

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

It's probably possible(lol) for you to get stretch marks from stretching if you have tight skin,I know I do.

[NoK]

If you mean I went from having a 4 pack to a 6 pack then yes =p Maybe my ass/hamstrings was carrying a lot of baggage =[ What was your ab routine to accomplish this? I currently have a 4 pac, and I can see my button two ab's at times if I'm doing a certain movement, but over-all, all you can see is my first 4 ab's. Don't know if this was your situation or not, but let me know what you did to get those last 2 ab's. :juji::juji:

EDIT: Also, if you have progression pics, that would be nice. Or if you have pics of your current ab's, that would work just aswell. Thanks!

On a sidenote about the Stretchmarks, I have no freaking clue while you're getting them. If anything, I would say it's due to you gaining the weight you've gained, but I really don't know. =P

Nok,just lose body fat(read as: Caloric deficit).

Nok,just lose body fat(read as: Caloric deficit). Thanks, but I'd prefer to see other people's method's. :cool::cool:

[Skippy]

I never done any direct ab work. I just never found it a problem to shave fat off myself. I don't have any progression photos, but this is the latest picture of my physique although it's like 3 weeks old now, I think I'm a little bit smaller now.

Actually thats a lie, I once every like 3-4 weeks or so when I could be bothered done weighted floor leg raises.

I also practiced dynamic kicks quite alot.

Although neither of these really had a factor to having a 6 pack, it was low bodyfat that gave it.

Also note, you CAN'T have a good 6 pack without having some honest good size on you in the first place otherwise you'll just look like a stick insect.

ahaha, I understand. That's pictures quality blows so it's kinda hard to see your ab structure. I have low body fat aswell, but I just didn't know if you did any specific excercise to actually obtain the last two ab's. Just something I could throw into my routine. Yea, I'll probably practice more dynamic kicks and with this jogging I'm doing, I'll probably shave off quite a bit of my low stomach fat. If you want an idea of my physique, check out the "Post your physique" thread. I'm on the second to last page, that way you can see where I'm as far as fat goes, aahaha. I'm currently 140-145 lb's. I'll hopefully get to 160 before december.

You probably don't have them if you're struggling to get them. Abs are genetics dependant really,in terms of shape & definition.

I know I have them. When I do like 540's or any other kick, I can see them. In terms of struggling to get them, I've never worked towards them until recently(A week ago). So, only time will tell, I guess.

Oh and...

[Aiden Bloodaxe]

I didn't say they don't,apart from "you probably don't have them" which I was being teh sarcy:tongue:. & COK,I don't give a shit about you not giving a shit. Go do a Barrel roll or something.

[tuareg]

Ive been getting a lot of stretch marks on my armpits from weight training.It's very annoying.I hear theres really nothing you can do but try to prevent them.

Hi,

I used to have pretty bad stretch marks and red scars around my belly region ever since I gave birth to my three kids.I had tried Vitamin E oil and cocoa butter which a number of people had recommended but unfortunately it didn't seem to work too well. My Doctor had even suggested that I go for a Tummy Tuck. I then recently read an article about a lady who supposedly got rid of her stretch marks using a particular cream. I tried it and it worked really well. It took a number of weeks but my stretch marks soon faded away. You can read the lady's article at the link below.
