wtf happened to my traps? [pic]

**davtown** · 04-10-2007, 04:37 AM

OK..... just check out the pic. These were not there before I started my back workout. I took off my shirt afterwards and BAM. We have 2 choices.

1) Stretch marks that appeared over the course of my workout.

2) I used a 'squat machine' (image link: http://imrs.uark.edu/media/Squat.jpg ) to do gripless shrugs tonight. First time doing them, I did a couple sets in the 10-12 rep range to try them out. Maybe I scratched them up doing these? The pads felt uncomfortable on my traps.

I really doubt it's option #2, so I guess what I'm asking is do stretch marks appear over the course of an hour during a workout? The marks are practically identical.

It's #2 but they aren't scratches they are stretch marks. I get them every time I do traps. They go away after 2-3 days. Battle scars my friend and stick with them you won't be sorry.

I used a calf raise similar to the squat machine you showed. It would **** up my traps like that. I figure that is the problem.

Won't help, they won't leave permanant marks anyway.

dude.... you're talking to Mr OCD right here... it doesn't matter if it'll help or not, these bad boys are getting lotion put on them

Thanks for the info though, it's nice to know that they're not permanent.
