hey sean..

first of all.. 35 pounds in 3 months eh? What the secret :)

You've got stretch marks my friend.. see your doctor so he can prescribe a cream for you which may help.. but these are here to stay.. they may fade out a bit or you can tan them out..

Opps, once you get them they are there forever. Over time they will become less noticable. Many females (I'm one of them )get them in the hip area as teenage girls tend to grow so fast. Pregnant women too. So to minimize them use Vitamin E oil daily. They will fade with time. A doctor won't help much but hey thats up to you.......

Okey now you got those strech marks now be careful not to get more of them. The only thing you can do is to put some cream on your body once a day (your girlfriend will love you for that as well!!:o) And secondly make sure of having enough vitamin B, E, A and oil in your diet.

alright first of all thx for all of your answers...

second thing i would like to mention is to arnold about my "secret" ... now i do understand that gaining this much muscle at the same time doesn' sound righ but i swear that its true... and its Natural..

after a month and a half of me grouing every one my girlfirends dad, my friends, even my parents thought that i'm doing some kind of "JUICE" but i'm not!!!..

i was doing going to raves, stay there all night, drink, smoke blablabal wasn't eating enough or sleeping enough, i was siting at 115, then i did a huge research of how to get big FAST!!! i spend about $150 canadian on my supplies every month ( l-glutamin, creatin, protein, weightgainer, vitamins) and ofcours 6 meals aday. i also stressed my body like creasy, doing only mass building excersises in the range of 6 rep max and 3 sets, i also went on bill philips programe of how to add 50 pounds to your bench press max(NOT BODY FOR LIKE) and guess what it WORKED!!!

every week i would weight myself and i would be amazed and exterimly happy, thats the reason the whole summer i was going sweeming with my girl friend because i was very happy witht he reasults.. i even have the picture of myself before and after... they are amazing, they look just like these protein and suppplemets ads you see on the magazine, and that shows how fast i grow, i don't konw if this is a good thing because of all my strech marks... i havn't had time to attend doctor but i will do so in the next few days,

btw, i'm currently having a break from the weights for a week and a half...

thanks again for your comments and arnol i do understand where you are coming from but honestly its not that way!!!

cheers

I use Cocoa Butter lotion to help with stretch marks. I don't have any stretch marks, and I usually just rub my arms with it once a day or so. I heard of pregnant women doing the same thing, so I started doing it, and haven't had any problems since.
