Scrapes near shoulder blades

matvei15 Posts: 7 Joined: 2003/03/28	2003/05/07, 01:59 AM For about once a week I always get a set of of red, bloody, scrapes on or near my shoulder blades. I assume this must be from when I am lifting heavy and intense while laying down on a bench format (such as a benchpress) but I would like to know if anyone else has had a similiar problem and also, what would the best way would be to correct this. Thank you.

The only problem has been, originally, my wife looking at them askance, wondering what woman did that and where I've been. :) Try more padding. -------------- . . . to crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women . . .

The first was after a bench day, and my GF got pissed when she saw the "claw marks" on my back! The second was after a squat - between the marks from the bar, and from the lifting suit, she thought I had hickies... I was finally able to calm her down when I told her to imagine the size and shape of the girl's mouth that could have made those marks! -------------- Michael "Trample the weak; hurdle the dead!"
