Yesterday I noticed matching bruises on the outsides of both arms. They are in the same place on both arms, a few inches up from my elbows. I can't think of anything I have bumped into lately. I did a little googling to see if it could be related to lifting. I couldn't find a ton of information but a few sources said it's a possibility if you overexert. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this? I just finished stage 3 yesterday, so it's not like I am brand new to this, so I am especially curious if others have seen this later in their program. Thanks!
I too had a bruise on my left arm in the same exact place as yours last week. It is gone now, but I don't remember bumping anything, but that could be the case.
I suppose I could have bumped against weights, it's just so odd I have it on the same place on both arms! I read a couple things that indicated you could bruise from over-exerting and popping some blood vessels, so maybe it is that.

BECAUSE they are identical on both sides, I suspect one of the movements...
I'd guess a cable or rope or whatnot that you keep managing to rub. Not a single bump, but a constant pressure or repeated pressure. Also, one often bruises more easily during fat loss because of the slightly higher estrogen in the blood (normally stored in fat), so that can make bruises appear from something that wasn't significant to notice at the time (similar to when girls hit puberty).

Interesting - so then it sounds like it could really be the woodchops since that is done over and over again and keeps rubbing the same place on my arms.
