I am wondering is there anyway to reduce strech marks because I am getting more of them and don't know how to prevent them.I have seen guys bigger than me with no strech marks what am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Vitamin E oil or cocoa butter lotion bro....
Use especially after showering . Try to avoid really hot water too. Hot water takes a lot of your skins natural moisture out. But if you make sure you use the lotion frequently you should quickly notice the benefits.

Maybe he's right, but to date i'd say it's more likely genetics as to why some don't get this. Good thing though, is that over time they become more or less the same color as the surrounding skin and less obvious.

No, there is no solution for stretch marks. Only time or plastic surgery but I know you won´t go that far.

Yep! I used to take hot hot shower for years and years as a kid with no problems. But when I hit like 30 I got a little patch of eczema on my leg. The doctor told me that many eczema conditions are caused by people that take very hot showers and do not replenish the loss of moisture that is removed as a result of them. So every since I have tried to tone down my hot showers and limit my time taking them.

As for stretch marks - Genetics may be a factor in those that do not get them.
But for those that do I believe vitamine E and/or continuous usage of lotion will greatly help. All you can do is try it. What do you have to lose. But as I mentioned above, it only benefits you to keep your skin from drying out by keeping it moist and avoiding extensive hot showers.
