Careful: I believe that it is well known and taught by pediatric specialists world wide to not advise teen males to do much with weight training. Weights too early can stunt growth. Please contact your pediatrician before you continue this practice.

See your doctor: If you are getting large purple stretch marks that is a sgin of cushings disease and this may be the beginning if other signs are not present. You should be examined to see if these are normal stretch marks from enlarging muscles or a sign of something else.
