I have been doing dumbell flys and was wondering if the new stretch marks were due to the added weight as of late or maybe the added reps...

I prefer to add definition rather than size so it makes sence to go with more reps.

The thing is, is I can do alot more than what I have been doing and I'm getting stretch marks

I'm doing 20 to 30 reps with 30 lbs and I could do 45 lbs 8 times but I chose the "lighter weight" expecting that I would get cut.

Is this due to my diet?


Thoughts?

It depends on what part of the body your getting the stretch marks on . Some parts are thinner than other's.

stretch marks come from growth, not certain exercises, as you are growing your skin will have to stretch which is causing the stretch marks, use cocoe butter or vit e cream, this may help to prevent and reduce the appearance of them

theyre never gunna go away, they just whiten out. it all has to do with ur growing rate versus skin elasticity. growing too fast will obviously stretch the skin past its limit. just moisturize and pray lol

with me they look deeper after workouts when im pumped, and they thin out when im cold. not much u can do

Unless you have thousands for lazer surgery and then you have to worry about growing more. As long as there not really huge and scar tissue like i wouldn't worry about it. BE A MAN HULK!

Stretch marks are scars guys. Scars never go away. Your stretch marks will go through color changes: usually from purple, light purple, red, pink, to bluish clear.

To help prevent them use cocoa butter. This is not 100% prevention but helps.
