    Popped Blood Vessels

    I keep getting these popped blood vessels (atleast i think thats what its called). Some of it appears to be from squats( a line of red ), some of it appears to be from this squat machine thing or standing calf raise machine( red in the shape of a rectangle ). I was wondering if there is something i should do to make these marks go away faster?

    It's just bar burn. It will go away in a few days.

    I read to put a towel under your shirt. I tried this and ended up with shoulders filled with splotches of burst vessels instead of a nice neat row. Your mileage may vary...

    Just keep doing them and you won't get them anymore after a while. I never get them on my neck/shoulders anymore. Just sometimes on the tops of my thighs or armpits from wearing deadlift suits or bench shirts.

    :withstupi I agree. Falls under the same category as calluses. Mark of a member of the brotherhood of iron, so show it off.
    Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right!
