Anyone else experience bruising from resistance training? After a “normal” workout, I developed bruising on my triceps underneath my arms.

The internet is pretty light and inconsistent on data/information on the topic, and am a bit concerned. Vitamin deficiency, immunodeficiency, sprain, etc all possible.

I've had this before. Mainly when I started working out or after a very long period of time of not training. I didn't find it to be anything serious, but please take that with a grain of salt as it may not apply to your situation. Mine was painless, just visible discoloration.

Helpful data point. I’ve been working out pretty actively for about three months

Yeah, every body is different. I can't recall ever having one in my arms, unless it was a tear, which would have been obvious to you from the excruciating pain and swelling. 😁 

But I got these on my calves a couple of times. Again, that's a sample of one.
