I’m not sure the body ever adjusts to that…I get them EVERY time I do these exercises, which is very regularly. Usually go away in a day or two.

I used to get sore shoulders from that, my hands used to hurt when i did back and arms. They no longer ht as my body has adjusted. Maybe you can put a pillow on the pad or wear a heavy shirt, some people use pads on the squats bar for this same reason. I think it’s called a sissy pad.(not a joke)[/quote]

i dont get sore shoulders, just the red marks. and i will NEVER bring a pillow to the gym just to stop this from happening, it’s part of lifting. my wife seems to think i am too into it if i lift enough to cause shoulder bruising…she just doesn’t get it i guess. it’s just alot of weight focused on one small area (shirt seam)

I get those only after not using that equipment for a while then the first time I use it I get the bruising, next week when I use it again no bruising.

Its really no different than how when you first start BB squatting the bar can cause bruising and feels painful, after a couple weeks of doing it that goes away. Was tricky convincing my GF of this but she believes me now and doesnt complain about not using the pad anymore.

donkey calf raises. problem solved.
