    Default Blood shot eyes

    I consistently have blood shot eyes when grinding through my working set on squat, but they return to normal within a few minutes. Considering I am close to/at the end of my LP, I am wondering if I have anything to worry about? I have looked into my valsalva technique and I think I am doing it correctly. Is this just a thing I need to accept because my lifting buddies are worried about me every time we squat.

    On a side note, I feel fine. Not a headache or dizziness either.

    Appreciate the help.

    This is not uncommon. Some people burst capillaries in their face and even their eyes. It is not anything to be worried about.

    Dude at least you don't have a stupid red ring that pops up around your left eye that lasts until the next day.
