Few Questions
Hey guys, i'm new here...first post
I'm a varsity running back in high school football I'm 16 years old, weigh 175, bench press 290, and i'm 5'8" I have a few questions for you guys: 1. Growth stunting: I've been lifting for a few years now...i started out real slow and grew into a solid weight lifting program...but i want to grow taller and i feel that i'm not reaching my potential in height and the muscle mass I have could be slowing me down. 2. Stretch marks: YUP!...i got them pretty good under my arms. My lifting buddys are jealous and consider them bragging rights. I don't really like them....wat's the deal with them? Do they go away?

hey man im new here to, atleast post wise but nice to meet u, so about the growth stunting, its just a myth. There's been many posts asking about it and lots of studies to attempt to prove it and so far nothing with responsible lifting. Any growth stunting can usually be blamed on bad form with too heavy weights. As for the stretch marks i dont know what to say cept' im jealous
 . really though don't know what to tell ya' but good luck and keep up the lifting.

Yeah, I kinda think they do look bad, but other people want them....cuz I think it means that your muscles are growing too fast for your skin....I think. But yeah, I want to get rid of them and I was wondering if anybody knew how.

THey wont ever go away. They will fade some with time, but stretch marks stay. There are some creams that might help them kind of fade. Such as cocoa butter, and vitamin e rub on stufff. Thats your best bet. BUt lots of people have em, learn to love em, lol, thats your best bet, as they are staying.
