Squat bruising?

[JohnnyO]

Recently I've started squatting heavy and I've noticed a greenish blue bruise on the middle of the top of my left quad. I remember that there was another post about this same problem but I can't find it or remember what it said. Is it possible that squatting is the cause of this bruise? I haven't had any weight rest on it or bump into anything, so I can rule that out. It doesn't hurt it's just a rather large discoloration and a bit tender. It doesn't seem serious but does anyone know what it is??

my bruising was along the lateral side of my right thigh and was quite large. just as quickly as it began, it quit. havnet had it in months. nobody ever could explain why. i just have to assume it was a subtle technique issue.
