Bruises

Bench_It · 01-29-2001, 06:34 AM

Anybody else get bruises on your shouldes from standing calf or squats. I'm not sure which is doing it, yet. I'll test it out next time. They aren't big bruises. They are more like scratch sizes. Can't tell if my skin is folding under the padding or my shirt is doing it or what?

yeah, I get them from squats.

I get the same thing if I dont' have a sweat shirt on. I just role up a towel the long way and put it over my shoulders.

Its already got a pad on it...But I'll try that next time. thanks.

Don't really get bruises, but when I squat I have a big red mark on each shoulder for the rest of the day.

yeha i get these red lines that look like scratches from squats but I use a Manta Ray for the squats. I think it makes it a lot more comfortable!

Its more like a hickey. I get them from benching sometimes. I always get them on the calf machine. I even get them when I lay the dumbbell on my shoulder when I'm doing two handed over head extensions.

Yeah I get them down the middle of my back from doing bench and across my neck from squats.

They are broken blood vessels just below the surface of the skin and usually dissappear in a couple of days.

I to use a pad on the bar but still gt them.

Shows you been liftin HEAVY IRON.
