Growth Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Ive noticed people either do get them or dont get them. OBvioulsy they are caused by sudden increases in size but are there any other factors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Wow... time to roll out the vitamin E cream, Jono! Vitamin E & cocoa butter. (I don't know if there are any factors that increase the chance of stretch marks, Growth - but given the remedy is moisturiser, I'd guess dry skin maybe?)I think I saw you say not so long ago you're a bit slack on working biceps, Jono. Consider this a friendly boot up the arse! :nono: Looking huge in all other respects, though. And it's good to see you're not using the bulk as a excuse to put on fat - a lot of people over-bulk, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deegee Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Good work there on the lats and shoulders I can see some real growth there , and on the chest. Those biceps dont seem to be responding well though. Know how you feel I am the same in that respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deegee Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 I found I got stretch marks badly in my early 20s when I put on bulk a bit fast but I dont get them anymore, maybe it is just a phase they do get better with time, I did not find vit E did much after they were already there .

Pseudonym Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Also when you diet down, it deepens the V between delt and bicep, which in turn accentuates the bicep peak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitterkat Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 my advice my friend, u are looking buff, go on a lean bulk (i.e maintenance phase) so you convert your fat to muscle, but you wont really go up too much.work on lats / shoulders, do powerlifting style reps (1-5) but take your sets to near exhastion (10 - 20 sets, depends on you), this will build myofibrillar hypertrophy (ill outline this sometime in an article), just for a shocking method on the bi's.send me a pm of your current stats (weight, bodyfat % etc) and ill write you a cutting diet if you have the motivation to stick to it.peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
