need info from the pros

[smallville912]

hey guys, i know some of you guys are professionals so i'll ask you...i know mike tyson lifted weights after prison but i'm gonna show you some pics from his prime....does it look like he used any kind of weights in these pictures....

so what do you guys think....any way that could've been from bodyweight exercises

[Moochie]

Yes - of course he used weights.

You don't normally get stretch marks on your chest from body weight exercises.

[dannyboy9]

[smallville912]

You don't always get stretch marks from lifting weights, its sometimes genetics, fluct in bw, etc.

This is Mike Tyson we're talking about here.
I don't think he's obtained his stretch marks from being too fat or pregnant.

As for genetics - that's only with pregnant women.

People can get stretch marks etc. while having growth spurts in their teens but not on their chest (unless they're doing weights).

which would make sense considering he started boxing in his teens and probably started lifting weights at the same time.

I know lots of guys who never trained and have stretch marks on bi's n chest. Not fat either, the type of physique that one would say BS that he doesn't use gear let alone work out. I wasnt directly talking about tyson either, it was a general question that was asked just a specific person was involved. Growth spurts will cause the marks everywhere else but the chest if there is no weight training involved? C'mon dude think about what your saying before yapping your hole....nonsense

[BiggerGuns=LongerDrives]

I dont know what you have seen but I have never seen a non-lifter with stretch marks on his chest

And a quick search on the internet indicates the only people who get stretch marks are as follows

* Pregnant women
* Obesity
* Yo Yo dieters
* Weight lifters (Legs,Chest,Thighs, Arms)
* Growing adolescents (on their BACKS)

The moral of the story - Mike Tyson's stretch marks were caused from weight lifting

Don't believe everything you read on the net Tommy!!! I have personally seen non-lifters with stretchmarks. Tyson or Joe Blow, stretch marks are possible you meatheads LOL. I saw Tyson few weeks ago in Vegas at Club Pure, dude is bum, my VIP section had more peeps than his, than he sends one of his bodyguards over to see if any of the chicks wanted to go to his VIP. They were like Mike who??? Ewww no he has stretch marks on his chest. True story execept for the stretch mark part. Okay other moral of the story....no more dumb ass topics!!!

Common knowledge! We will leave it at that then. But, I wasnt theorizing when I said that I have seen peeps that don't weight lift, never did, not fat fat, not yo yo dieters, and that werent pregnant have stretch marks on their chest....Like i said had decent physiques. Common knowledge it may be, but it is not impossible to get the mark of stretching on pecs from not lifting weights. This topic is burned out already, STOP!!! Seems like most of this site is copy and paste anyways. mostly everyone here who shoots sh!t about training and advice look like sh!t or they are pencils. I don't wanna make any enemies in the E-hood. So no hard feelings!

[lostboyrufio]

Well if it means anything, my brother has never lifted a weight and he has stretch marks on his chest. He's 17, turning 18 soon.

it's rude to hush someone up when you fueled the beginning phases of the discussion. if discussing is a stipulation for you then don't engage in it but don't hush someone up for responding. that's a violation lol

p.s. you shouldn't talk down about the board if you're not doing anything to better it and build it up. i know cognitive dissonance is hard to avoid but the door is available to any who feel the bbfu community is too stressful. maybe bb.com suits some better.

most all the vets left (a long time ago) we really need to try to co-exist around here though people. seriously...people don't seem to take so well to disagreement and get offended when they're disproved. it's a fact of life...it's bound to happen.

[korn_dog]

Im fine with disagreement, but you can leave out the little rude comments if you want none back. Tommy is well versed at the little cheap shots after he makes his little opinion/fact/guess! With his little moral of the topic statement. That's fine though, i'm good if he is, I don't hate, sheet we are both from SoCal. Stretch mark discussion should not be so heated nor too looked into. Lostboyrufio just put the hammer down on all of theories...LOL! Mike Tyson is still a bum though...peace all

[Moochie]

Well....

What a waste of energy this thread turned out to be
