it’s just part of lifting. i regularly blow out my eyes, have ruptured my eardrum, have huge nose bleeds, get broken blood vessels in my face, neck and chest. i’ve had bruises in the creases of my arms at the elbow from the skin stretching from doing heavy pulls.
no big deal. i find that vagisil has helped me the most. [/quote]
Whoa! I haven’t seen you on in forever. Welcome back.
Does this kind of thing usually only happen in gear or does it happen raw too? I have a hunch it’s more common in gear because it increases blood pressure more. [/quote]

Seriously though I’m curious. Are there methods of preventing a busted blood vessel in the brain? Or is that a risk we take from lifting iron?[/quote]
I am not sure how much a healthy person has problems with this. But if you have aneurysm in your brain you are not allowed to lift much anymore, because the pressure will pop the blood vessel. Risk factors for an aneurysm include diabetes, obesity, hypertension, tobacco use, alcoholism.
