does anyone experience annoying red lines on their stomach. im 6 3" and 175...very little fat and in shape...exercise in some form ast least 5 days a week..i do ab work outs too (not so much for asthetics but for climbing)..still i have two red lines that go across my stomachl...i cant think of any reason for this since my brothers dont have them and are of similar build. in addition, i notice many people of greater heft do not have these..any ideas?

 

Marks from wearing elastic stretch pants? :dunno:

 

It's from leaning forward. You ever see people with colds that have a line across their nose?

???

 

Are they on your sides (where the kidney area is?)

If so, welcome to the world of stretch marks. They are obtained by the sudden stretching of the skin. The usual causes are rapid weightloss or rapid musle gain (going to the gym and bulking up quickly.)

 

stretch marks.

 

no they arent on my side at all...just the front..i guess the leaning forward seems like it has some merit..but id dont see why other people wouldnt get them then..could it be bad posture

 

stretch marks can form in a lot of places. sure you arn't preggo?

 

Have you been eating spinach?

 

it's from leaning forward. i'm tiny and i still get them when i'm sitting at my desk. work on your posture.

 

i too have them from leaning forward. tough to not though since my back is too lazy to sit straight constantly
