    I have been having this weird problem with the hack machine.  
    
    After I get done my workout, the top of my traps are full of burst blood
    vessels, has anyone ever had this problem.  They are almost like blood
    blisters.  You can literally trace the shape of the pads on my traps. 
    I don't think these are harmful, just looks funny for a couple of days.

23.144HOTLNE::BURTrude people ruleTue May 13 1997 11:026
can't say as i recall ever haing that problem.  might want to relook at your 
positioning: maybe you're leaning too far forward putting an unneccesary stretch
on the traps causing them to "slide" with the movement [kind of like a rug 
burn].  then again: have you had your blood pressure checked lately, Brian?

23.145DELNI::OTATue May 13 1997 11:5611
    Reg
    
    My back is plastered flat against the machine and I do not lean
    forward, with a bad back like mine that would be suicide.  Nope these
    don't feel like rub kind of burn at all.

    PS  Had my physical a month or so, blood pressure is fine.

well, damn, Brian- you must be busting out all over! maybe it's sign that you're
growing [or even changing? George! did you slip Brian some of that lizard 
hormone stuff you used to take?]

better watch out tomorrow, folks! if we get Bri mad, he just may change into 
some type of avenging hulkster! 8^)

23.147Can be permanentHOTLNE::CORMIERTue May 13 1997 14:0310
    Speaking purely from a cosmetic perspective, some broken blood vessels
    can be permanent.  I have quite a few, and have had a cosmetic 
    procedure to remove them. I get them from repeated trauma (blocking
    kicks, quad machine rubbing on my knee, etc.). It's also hereditary
    (spider veins) in my family.
    Doesn't potassium contribute to vein wall strength? I seem to recall
    (it's way back there in the cobwebs) either potassium or magnesium or
    some mineral deficiency being the culprit???
