Bruised back from Heavy Deadlifts???

[MohawkMuscle]

I did heavy singles yesterday on the Deadlift.

A few hours later I was at home. I picked up my son and had a sharp pain pull in my back. I had my GF rub it out, she noticed I had a long redish bruise!

I dont remember if I somehow banged it or not..

Never had that before, I often feel my back decompressing for a few hours after I deadlift, but never a bruise

 

[b fold the truth]

I have a few varicose (sp) veins in my lower back that you can see when I bend over...

Ice, heat, ibuprofen...rest...and strengthen your back.

Were you wearing a belt?? If so it could have caused it.

I dont wear belts at all....

Yeah, I was thinking it was the belt too. I know when I am done squatting and pulling I have marks all over me from the belt. Does it go up and down or side to side?

up and down, on the left side of my midback. On the trap.
