I started a month ago and I'm starting to get thin, long cuts over my body which heal after a while. Is this normal?

Do you mean stretch marks?
Noah Gutierrez
not stretch marks, although I have those in my shoulders.
It's like someone ran a sharp needle over my skin. There's usually dried blood over it which heals. I never see it bleeding.
Right now there are two behind my neck, a long crossed one on my left lat and a long one down my right bicep.
My bed is clean and I would probably wake up if something was doing this to me.

Might be you're getting them while lifting from certain lifts. If I use the hack squat machine it leaves little cuts and scrapes on my shoulders in particular - you might be doing something with a bar that's tearing you up a bit. I can see front squats doing it to your bicep and back squats doing it to your neck.

>But wouldn't I feel something? I don't get anything from the hack squats - like you've already got a decent amount of weight pressing down on you and actually you don't really tend to feel little cuts if they're not causing major damage.
I wouldn't worry too much about it, but it's worth checking your form and making sure the bar or whatever isn't sliding around on your skin. Try wearing a hoodie and lifting, see if that makes a difference.

>Thursday squat >Medium >3x5 @ 92.5%
To my knowledge, usually your 3RM is about 90% of 1RM. So how can you do 3x5 with 92.5%?

OP I get them too they are stretch marks they just fade really quickly, you a manlet too?
