Happened to me and im natty, went from 90kg to 100kg in my first year and cutting down now, so never really lean. And I have it only on my biceps and lats.
This is actually a really cool materials problem. Muscle is denser than fat which means gaining say 1 pound of fat on an arm is going to increase the underlying volume much more than 1 pound of muscle (i know gaining a pound of muscle on an arm is moronic but its just a toy model). However, muscle has resting tone and can act as a hard surface sometimes while fat cannot. But to be fair, expanding crossectionally does not end up depending on rigidity because an arm is essentially a cylider but it DOES depend on it orthogonally to the radius. All that to say fat increases the volume underneath the skin way quicker but does not make the skin conform as much when it does infiltrate.
I don't doubt you but tell me something, did you have sort of tight insertions like really small shoulder frame, or tight lat area, and did you heavy focus the bicepts? Because I guess I can picture a natty getting stretch marks but only if like the area worked was underdeveloped, sort of lean and skin already tight bc of short insertions/small frame.
I don't know, I think it comes down to genetics. I was pretty lean, but started to get really fat once. I got my shit together and tool care of it before it got out of hand, bit I'm covered in stretch marks both where muscles have grown and where fat began build up.
that's not from muscle it's literally from stretching. i stopped doing pullups for a while and when i started again my whole biceps was in stretch marks
Stretch marks are good. It means you’re actually working hard, you should be proud of them. Like leaving a bench soaked in ass sweat; sure it might be embarrassing but it’s overall a good thing, you’re pushing yourself.
This is something only younger guys worry about. By the time you’re an adult you’ll realize how common stretch marks are and they don’t fricking matter unless you’re literally covered
>start doing ring exercises and increasing the range of motion on cable exercises >new stretch mark on each pec is forming
Oh yeah, the chest is growing again.
muscle don't leave stretch marks, fat does
>internal mass increases faster than skin can grow
>the type of mass matters
they do when gays roid, especially if they were always decently lean and then just hop on monster mass amounts of gear, the skin just can't handle it

yeah the first anon is moronic
"if you fill a water balloon with 10 gallons of water its fine but if you fill a water balloon with 10 gallons of milk it will pop" type of logic

whatever man can you just tell us if op is a fatty or a roider?

Do you have a habit of pulling shit out of your ass to sound smart?

youre supposed to be using a towel on the bench you degenerate
>he doesn't leave sweat puddles everywhere to assert dominance
That goes without saying you silly Black person
if youre natty and youre not getting stretch marks from weight training, youve been pretending to weight train

>developed stretch marks on my butthole
bwc doesnt cause stretch marks, bbc does.
