I'm only 27 years old... began lifting when I was around 21. I mainly
do three lifts... the flat bench press, squat, deadlift, and military
press. I started adding in dumbbell work about a year ago. At age
21, I weighed around 130 lbs, and now I weigh between 155 to 160...
I'd say 20 lbs or so is muscle and 10 lbs is fat. I bench about 220
lbs as a max and rep with 185 and 190 for five reps or so. I do low
reps and go heavy (for me at least) on mostly everything.
I've gotten stretch marks on the deltoid area.. two actually going on
two different directions... but what's a little worrisome is that on
the side of my pecs..and a little bit underneath them... i'm starting
to see a pattern that mimics cellulite but isn't quite cellulite...
honestly, i think it's just normal aging (relating also to weight
gain).
I guess my main question is do you people know what I'm talking about
without a picture? Also, would losing weight (muscle and fat) help at
all? I'm not too concerned with the appearance really, as it's just
slight (for now), but I'd like to know my options and perhaps if my
routine (low, heavy reps) contributes to this and will make it worse?
Or, if just normal aging is mostly effecting this?
thanks
