- I get these too, and only recently did it hit me what this is. Next time you
- work legs, notice what kind of shirt you are wearing, be it a tank top or
- t-shirt.
-
- Look closely where the seams in that shirt run across your shoulders. Do
- your leg workout, and then in the morning, look where the bruises are.
- You'll find that they are in the same place as the seams in the shirt were.
-
- yes, these are bruises. yes, they are caused by the seams in your shirts.
- No, there's nothing you can do about them unless you wear a shirt with the
- seams in another place besides going up the shoulders. A raglan cut
- sweatshirt is the only example I can think of.
-
- I get these. I snicker about them. I ignore them.
