Did Leg work-out today pushed myself hard as usual and noticed after my work-out I had very small pin like blood spots near the surface of my skin near my check bones, could this be to the stress after pushing yourself to hard, anybody had this before

I get these across my shoulders from squats, but cheek bones? Like your face? You must be really super straining yourself. You can in fact burst capillaries and blood vessels from just sheer strain - generally when you're doing that whole hold-you-breath-and-shove thing that you're not really supposed to be doing...

I think you could be right JoH and the culprit might have been when I was doing leg press, I always breath when squatting but did noticed when I went to complete failure on my last rep on a vertical leg press I did feel faint, must of been holding my breath
