Preventing Stretchmarks?

[MC001]

Are there any tips for preventing stretchmarks from lifting weights?

I know a few people who have had problems with stretchmarks particularly aroudn their biceps and pecs.

Is there anything that can be done about this?

I have a friend that uses cream to prevent stretch marks, im not sure how well it wokrs but its worth a look.

Heres one brand I found:

Bodybuilding.com - Barmon Stretchmark Cream - Stretch Mark Cream! On sale now!

Wow ... those sure are some stretchmarks.

Thanks for the link - I hope never to get stretchmarks like those!

I've also read that retin-a cream, which is predominantly used for acne, is useful for stretchmarks as it stimulates collagen production.

The only problem is you need to be precribed retin-a by a doctor, and I dont think they'd give it to you simply for stretchmarks.
