Does anyone else get massive bruises after lifting? Not from scraping shins against the bar or anything but just popping blood vessels from a heavy set. I always thought this was pretty normal but some people seem really freaked out by it.

I bruise, but it’s small bruises.

Same as D1 - I get small round bruises. Typically on thighs, triceps, or right by arm veins

I get them in my arms sometimes during a strenuous session! Mine just make me look like a junkie

Nope. And I lift heavy. Sounds concerning, but I’m not a doctor.

I'll get some broken capillaries if I do anything where I rest pads in my shoulders (hack squat, standing calf machine) but otherwise no

Not normal, you should get it checked out.

At this moment, I am almost depressed. I am in a relationship with this guy for 2 years now. In the past 2 years, we have fought more than we have lived days with peace. We both have high ego problems because of which it’s really hard to resolve a conflict. Things have recently escalated to calling names/swearing and even physically abuse from both sides. We both want to end the relationship, have tried so many times, but we cannot.
