I was over at this powerlifting website earlier today and i was looking at some of the wall paper. Now with the exception that the people were putting up some impressive weight; someone please tell me why some of them were bleeding while putting that weight up

I've seen people at my gym bleed while lifting/pressing huge weight. It's basically because the person is exerting soo much strain that a vessel just ruptures (at least thats my assumption). I could be wrong here ...

It could be because their gear is very tight as well. I've seen people bleed out of their eye sockets because of this.

Most liekly bc they are trying to move an extreme amount of weight and not breathing properly in the process thus causing a massive blood flow to the head. Had this happen to me before while doing deads. You will def turn some heads in your gym when ur bleeding from the nose and still continuing to do your set....lol

During a big lift, you hold your breath throughout the lift (increases abdominal pressure, thereby making you more stable). As a result of this, it increases your blood pressure (obviously) and many guys will pop nose bleeds, bust blood vessels around/in the eyes (where a lot of smaller cappillaries are located in the head). Also, taking a big hit of amonia/nose tork will make you more prone to popping a nose bleed.
Its no big deal (and pretty cool). Youre not gonna die from it, LOL

The second pic is because Tate liked to slam his fore head against the bar before a huge attempt, and Irbs covered the 1st pic. Best one is Kennelly at the Arnold, he had blood all over the damn place....LOL...I hope to achive the bloody towel some day.....

The first picture from the OP has the single use crush and inhale ampoules.
Sniff it before a big lift, its supposed to make your lungs work better (or something along those lines) hence it wakes people up.
I'm not trying to be funny, but...
I've witnessed guys lifting weights before they preform a movement head butt the barbell and get busted open and not be able to preform the movement.
Kinda funny though.
