I have been training for about three years now and i always had a problem with my legs getting bigger much more easy than the rest of my body.This year i took the decision to do everything the right way with no cheating in any section.What happened was i started getting bigger but also started having huge stretch marks in my arms but especially in my legs.If someone could help me i would appreciate that because i have tried a lot of things but nothing seems to work.

Agreed, pregnant women use this. I have also read and heard of using Alpha Lipoic Acid, helps with stretch marks.
If neither work, it is just part of the territory with bodybuilding. Some get it worse than others genetically. Some people's dermis tears more easily than others due to lack of elasticity.

i tried a lot of things like cocoa butter,bio oil,hydrating cremes.But then yesterday while i was searching i found that zinc and the vitamin b complex help a lot . Also retin-a they say that helps a lot to make them less visible. Did anyone try any of this?

my arms are FULL of them.

if your getting them because your growing mostly in muscle then be proud of them, its part of bodybuilding

if your getting them because your growing mostly in fat, then IMMEDIATELY re-do your diet and/or training and if you can lose a few pounds.

its not ok to get stretch marks IF the only reason your getting them is because your getting fatter
