  1. I'm about 5'8, 11stone..... my arms are about 13inches chest about 36.... So
    not that big at all, small actually... BUT I'm getting stretch marks on my
    bicepts and where my arms join my chest... why?? I'm not big at all!! and
    this is happening?? I assume this will get ALOT worse the bigger I get...

    Is there anyway to avoid this? At present I do the pyramid workout, I do for
    eg for bicepts
    20kg +bar - 8 reps
    22.5kg +bar - 6 reps
    25kg +bar - 4 reps
    22.5kg +bar - 6 reps
    20kg +bar - 4 reps

    Is that too much?? should I be doing a real light weight first as a warm
    up?? I do no cardio before weight training but 10-15mins of cross trainer
    after.

    This is killing me, I enjoy the gym and would like to eventually be quite
    toned and muscley, but if this is happening when I'm this small, I'm afraid
    what I'll look like in a year or two..

    Ps... I train whenever I can, so basically almost everyday if I have time, I
    have a 3 day split
    day 1 - legs, shoulders
    day 2 - biceps, back
    day 3 - chest, triceps..

    Am I training too frequently?? Am I not giving my skin enough time to
    adapt??

    I apologise if this is a lame question, its just starting to really make me
    paranoid and making me think twice about going to the gym

    MAny thanks

    J.
