Stretch marks...
what causes some people to get them so easily and others who are huge don't have them. My one friend put on about 10lbs over the course 6 monthsand had deep stretch marks under his chest/armpit while I gained 25lbs,mostly muscle, in about 8 months and I have not a single stretch mark. Are some people just more susceptible to stretch marks than others?

Skin elasticity is a complex property. it depends on how quickly your body can sythesize collagen and elastin in order to repair the stretch damage, as well as moisture content/hydration, etc.

Predisposition of Development of stretch marks is pretty much genetic...but whether you actually get them depends on quite a number of factors.

I normally do the leg press w/ a slightly wider than shoulder-width setup. Well, the last few weeks, I've narrowed my stance even more to where my feet are only a couple inches apart. I was sore for days on the inside of my thigh... never been sore there before, even when doing sumo style leg work.

Anyway, I was droppin' the Cosby's off at the pool and looked down in shock that I now have fresh red stretch marks on my inner/upper thigh close to my groin.

Gettin' my swole on, Jack!
