Hi everyone.

I'm currently striving to attain my van dam physique but its taking its time as I've been training properly for 1 year and only started taking supplements 6 months ago.

I'm really gettin there training 5 days a week maybe not eating enough but I find it hard to train for hockey and weights.

I need advice on how to deal with stretch marks as I seem to have them.

Anyway hope someone can help.

stretch marks are a good sign mate,shows your growing very quick,i got loads when i first started,epecially at the top of the chest.

dont worry they do fade,and if you tan they'll go even quicker

Vitamin E cream is good for taking out the colour of them but dont worry wear them with pride.

Stretch marks are when the skin has had to shrink or grow in a relativly short amount of time.

When losing or gaining weight you need to do it at a slower pace to prevent them from appearing.

Rub lotion that is high in vitamin E into the trouble areas. This will help speed up the healing process. Many bodybuilders report success with many popular suntan lotions. Coconut oil is also a favorite.

Hey you can't forget about the best way to get rid of them...hide them! A dark tan will make them totally vanish (not to mention make you look better)! Unless the marks are viewed at ultra-close range, they will be invisible and you will be tanner.

One more thing, make sure to wear clean workout clothes...besides not smelling too good, you will have a better chance of not getting infection through the stretch marks in your skin.

Good luck!
