Weird Phenom. Broken Blood Vessels?

Hey dudes,

Has this ever happened to any of you?

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.

Yah, I broke a blood vessel in the white of my eye doing dumbbell bench press. Last time I hold my breathe while struggling.

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.

Happens to me all of the time. I guess it’s from so much pressure build up by not releasing air on that last heavy rep.

ever seen powerlifters get nosebleeds?
