Yah... I got alot of stretch marks. 90% of mine are from when I first started lifting and I went from very overweight to quite strong in almost no time -- also lost 40 lbs in 4 months once I finally got around to changing my diet after around 2 years of lifting. I have the worst ones around my outer chest, actually closer to my front delts -- presumably since my favorite machine is and always has been the pec deck. Today I noticed some around my lats too, pretty extensive at that. They are all skin colored and don't show up alot unless I move my body in such a way that my skin gets tighter. The only ones that are discolored at all are the ones I mentioned first around my chest... I don't think those will fade for a while, I work out at over 2x my body weight on the pec deck though and I keep going up.
Word of advice... if you are like me and start out pretty fat (220 lbs for me at 16 years old at under 5'10" tall), definatly follow all the tips about moisturizing... I had no idea about that stuff. I may start doing it now to avoid getting any more.
