bodybuilding, striations are the tiny grooves of
muscle across major muscle groups characteristic of a well-developed body. Chest striations are expected at low level competition, as they are indicative of muscularity and low
body fat, whereas a "Christmas tree" in the lower back and striations in the glutes are expected at top level competition.
