I've been weight training everyday for the last month. Recently I've noticed little (1/4-1/2 inch) bruises on my back. They are extremely faint, cant even see them unless you are looking for them. But so far, two of the weight trainers I know said they experienced something simular at some point but cant remember what it was.

The recent changes in my lifestyle are:
Tanning (for about a month now but its been very gradual with no burns)
I wear a heart monitor so I can train my heart while lifting (about 159 bpm)
Im eating about 2 chicken breasts a day, tons of tuna, flax seed oil, l-glutamein, daily vitamins, and whole wheats.

Has anyone else experienced this?

DEx took the words out of my mouth. Hey they are probably just pressure marks because your body isn't used to supporting that type of weight.

I get them too thats pretty wild i usually only get them when i hit my lats real hard...some times when i go heavy on the squats i get them as well, not sure what there from maybe pressure?

How long did it take for them to go away? Cuz mine are still there... they never seem to go away.

Usually takes about two or three weeks once my back gets use to the pressure but if they never go away it may be something diffrent...ill ask around the gym see if anyone knows anything ill get back with ya
