I got them when my arms got to 17 inches. When I started focussing more
on my back to correct a strength imbalance between the chest and back I
got them along the back of my shoulder, too. It's too late for me, but
if you discover a way to make the problem less, please let us know. I
have a feeling that if there was a reliable way, women would have been
using it a lot sooner than weight trainees (pregnancy and stretch marks
and the tiger belly thing).
