Anyway, last night I was doing sets of heavy CG-Benches, and really struggling to get in the last rep. As I was pressing, and forcing my face got really “warm” like a rush of heat. Then this pin prick feeling set in.
After lifiting, I had a bunch of tiny little red dots below my eyes and cheeks (broken blood vessels?). Mad weird.

Petechial hemorrhages.
Bursting of the capillaries in the area due to excessive pressure placed against them.

I get that all the time, when I put in a good strain on a heavy lift. I get splotches and spots across my face, neck and sometimes upper chest.
