Wierd workout health question???

[DJDIGGLER]

Whenever I workout I notice that immediately after doing a set, my shoulder has a half moon shaped black mark the size of a baseball that comes out and then disappears a few minutes after I stop working out. It's been doing this for a long time and I have no clue what it is. Has anyone else ever heard of or seen something like this before?

I know what your talking about bro, I have heard it is the blood rushing to the surface (capillaries) causing an almost bruise look to parts of the skin...Only happens in certain spots on shoulders and back...are like purple blackish marks in patchy areas??

That's exactly it. I wondered if I was working too hard, or if maybe it was because my sking was getting to tight. My upper body is to the point that you can barely pinch skin off of it.

That's not a bad thing is it??

No bro, I have the same problem too, I tan so its not as noticeable, but there REAL apparent when hitting shoulders and back, it is a rush of blood to the surface, if your REAL lean they will be more noticeable...tottaly normal.

Re: Wierd workout health question???

I have never even heard of such a thing, but, just my opinion, if your workouts are causing something like that I would not be so comfortable to say it's perfectly normal. That's just my opinion. I've been trianing for 20 years and never had or seen that so I don't think it's 'normal', but that's me. It may not be harmful, but it's certainly not the norm. Again, I'm only basing this on my personal experiences and that's what constitutes 'normal' for me.

At my homeboard there are atleast 20-25 guys in a thread talking about this, seems to be something that happens to alot of guys...not everyone but even seasoned vets, doesnt make it normal or abnormal jsut something I think some poeple experience when getting huge pumps.

Interesting....I wonder if it's something to do with the aas. The reason I ask is I don't know anyone in my personal life that uses aas because I don't want that affiliation, for obvious reasons. So, most of the guys I know are not getting as huge as others. With that said, when I lived in ATL all of my bros used there and I don't remember seeing it. Some of these guys were huge too. You think it's related to the aas, or just an individual thing?

Re: Wierd workout health question???

I noticed them the most with igf pumps, and when in mid cutting cycle whn skin is getting tight, almsot as if there is more blood supply to the tissue causing these to form or be more apparent...Interesting though, But I CAN say in my experiences that i never noticed them before aas use.
