What did I do?

fireloard Posts: 665 Joined: 2001/03/27	2001/05/09, 01:33 AM My shoulders are pretty weak but they never really get sore or burn too much when i'm exercising them. Anyway I got through the should workout yesterday and after today's workout when i was about to shower I noticed these little red spots on my right shoulder.. their on my left one too lightly.. they don't hurt.. but whats wrong there? anyone have any idea's about what they are.. would hate 2 goto a doctor for something that really doesn't hurt or bother me. Oh if its of any help I did way too many laying side laterals (was looking at the wrong exercise which called for more reps and sets then what I really had to do)

It is the small capillaries right under your skin breaking. They are not main vessels so they don't hurt your body, just a natural reaction to hard labor on muscles. Don't worry about it.
