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.

cc @keccers.eth or @poymeetsworld in case they know

also this used to happen to me in college when i was lifting as a D1 athlete but we were always told to be careful as it could precede rhabdo

I’m not sure what this could be BUT i do know go to the hospital immediately if your pee is Dark — brown, red or tea-colored. 

Then it becomes almost certainly rhabdo and that’s super serious

hmm i didn’t experience random bruising when I was more serious with my bodybuilding. it could be micro tears, but worth it to monitor changes in diet/supplements and anything that seems out the norm like @keccers.eth said

also agree with @ted - great progress @lesh!

nah, you’d know if you had rhabdo, i promise!

mine would heal naturally, but would eat healthy, not drink alcohol afterwards, etc but it’s been awhile since i was lifting like that

cc @v can you cc your trainer? he may have a better answer

ps @lesh YOU LOOK INCREDIBLE! i’m so impressed w/ your fitness journey

Wow, googling rhabdo is terrifying.

Was it recurring? Did it heal naturally? Interfere with muscle building? Or purely innocuous
