Side Effect That Is Never Posted!!! Stretch Marks!! Hey, Guys Need Some Of Your Opinions. Went To The Gym Yesterday And Did Legs, I Have Skipped Legs For Years Being Naturally Thick Below The Belt, After Doing Squats I Went Home To Find Two Thin Lines On Each Shoulder, Like Racing Stripes About 3 Inches Long. Purple/red
THEY ARE ON THE TOP OF THE SHOULDER.

Are These Strectch Marks Or Possible Broken Blood Vessels From The Weight Of The Bar?

Well its hard to say without seeing them but..

IT might be that the bar scratched you while doing squats.

Anytime I put lots of pressure on my traps I get these dark red lines running along them. Specifically from doing standing calf raises. They look nasty but go away in a day or two.

no bro those ARE NOT stretch marks. I get those everytime i squat. IO get little red lines on top of my shoulders. That is just from the heavy weight sitting on top of your shoulders while squatting. It goes away in like a day man. Chill.

THey'll be gone in a couple days as they said. It is right where the seam is on your shirt and the weight pinches down hard enough to cause a little damage, thats it. That would have to be the worst excuse to avoid leg day though.

Hey bros, I get red marks especially in the armpit. It seems that the skin gets really thin and it stays red. Assuming stretch mark, been there a few weeks. Does Vit E work to alleviate this. Any suggestions?

 

[PUMPED]

try cocoa butter if vitamin E does not work for you...

sounds like blood blisters (burst blood vessels) to me

stretchmarks are a very valid side though...i got some years ago and i hate the damn things. its the reason i dont work bis and tris together

back in the day years ago my arms were 13 inches i was very young, laugh all you want) and after a workout would pump to 15.5. its a hell of a jump. now i have little lightning bolts along my biceps

dont talk about the ones on my chest. they make me sad

I also get the blood blister type bruises while Im not fond of them they go in a few days. Stretch marks are permament but alot of the lads in the gym use retin-A cream and say it helps, Im lucky to have not got any. Buff Diddy mmmmmmm camel toe

I agree those are not stretch marks - probably bruising from the bar

this sounds like

"petechiae"

I dont know but i love when i get those bruises on my back. Its kind of a mark and a reminder to myself that i worked hard. I mean your bound to get some bruising when you displace 500+ lbs over a few square inches were the metal meets the meat.

i wouldnt worry to much about it
