Yes do it slowly or something I just noticed new stretch marks on my arms jeez. Can I get stretch marks from flexing too much?

Why are so many of you surprised by stretch marks? If you plan on making significant progress, you will get them. Either deal with that in some way, or quit lifting. I’ve never seen a guy with arms over 16-17" who didn’t have any stretch marks.

who cares? i have stretch marks under my arms. do it slowly and it will take forever your bulking not slowly gaining muscle. put some vitamine or cooca butter by your bicep armpit area to minimize. get a tan they arent noticable. your going to end up probably juicing it sooner or later and get marks anyhow so whats the difference

I actually quite like the stretch marks around my neck/traps. It reminds me that I’m doing something right.

Define the word “Most”. This is the farthest from the truth.
I’ll do a food log, thanks for the idea.

I’m pretty happy with the fact that I got stretch marks on my arms recently. I put on 23lbs (1.75" on the biceps) in 8 weeks, the stretch marks are my ‘battle scars’.
You workout for 3 weeks. You grow in the FOLLOWING 3 weeks by eating tonnes and working out less.
You are in the meantime, losing fat.
Do not expect growth in muscle DURING your working out phase. Especially on your birdlike diet.
It takes time, there is a time delay.

hahaha, oh shit that’s good stuff.
The food log thing was just embarassing. Here, let me post the cals for the first day:
1925 calories.
Less than 2000 calories, on a workout day. It would have been 1600 otherwise.
Anyway, I saw that and something inside me just…SNAPPED. I went to the store and bought two pounds of liver sausage, a loaf of bread, a pound of butter, and a gallon of whole milk. Basically, I just bought what I knew I’d eat.
It was gone in 24 hours.
I just got hungry, all of a sudden, and just kept eating every 2-3 hours. I slept like a hibernating bear.
I decided to hit the weights after resting and eating all weekend. Big surprise, it added to my bench press and squats. I can’t add any more weight on my bar at home, so I go by reps to failure.
Before:
bench 12 reps
squat 2x8=16 reps
After:
bench 2x8=16 reps
squat 2x12=24 reps
Basically, I was able to do alot more exercises because I ATE REAL FOOD. I know, I know. But it rules. It rules so hard.
If all goes according to plan, I’ll be babysitting a gym in about three weeks. That means a free membership, easy access to weights and machines, and best of all, no excuses.
See y’all at 200.

how does one live on under 2000 calories? my diet was 2400 and i was taking an eca and i was still starving the whole time. i’m starting to get my calories back up and clean. eat like 4000 and dont over train. youlll be great.
For those of you keeping track at home, that’s about a pound a DAY.
I see almost no additional fat either. I’ve put a half-inch on my arms, my shoulders are getting huge, and the muscles under my arms on the side of the rib cage are now clearly visible.
I don’t know if I’ll keep posting here. People are getting really inflammatory and hurtful. Isn’t this the beginners forum? I’m a beginner, I need help, I’m going to make mistakes. Oh well.
Back to eating and lifting. See you at 200.

Nice!
Congrats on your weight gain, and your recent enlightenment about food.
I’m in the opposite boat you’re in (gain weight very easily, but put on too much fat).
Remember to keep training as you learn more, and don’t get caught up in the infamous “paralysis by analysis” that keeps people from working out untill they find the “perfect” routine (whatever that is).
You’ve probably heard it before, but a person who worksout with a lot of intensity with a sub-optimal program will get better results than someone doing the perfect program half-assed.
Good luck!
