broken capillaries in face from Heavy Deads

[austic]

So today after a pretty heavy deadlifting session I ended up with what looked like blood freckles on my face around my eyes. Seems to be broken capillaries, anyone else have this happen? how long did it take to get back to normal?

Not sure what caused this as i have done the weight before and was 1-3 reps at just under 85%

Damn... that's awesome. I've only burst blood vessels in one of my eyes during a 1 rep max squat.

Don't worry. When you bust a blood vessel in your brain you won't care anymore.

imo More reps less grunts.

Nice! Never had that in my face. I get busted capillaries around my shoulder blades on heavy barbell/dumbbell bench.

I would love to see your face on video while you lift! You must be totally red??

I think it was the rep scheme that did it.
I was working on volume with less than complete rest using cluster deadlifts.


5rds @85%
Minute 1: 3 DL
Minute 2: 2 DL
Minute 3: 1 DL
Rest 3 Min

I was pretty gutted by the end of it so I wouldn't doubt my face got red. Maybe one day I will have to post a deadlift face photo lol.

Its a little better today but my coworkers asked me what the hell happened.
