    Major Acne Breakout During Deadlifts

    For the record, I love deadlifts. They are responsible for the body that I built as of now, but one major issue is the after effect of the exercise. Recently I was repping 405 for 4 sets and noticed my face would break out in acne and every pore on my body was red and inflamed. I reduced my deadlift to 405 for 2 sets and then moved down in weight for more reps. However, no matter what I do i always seem to break out during the lift. My face looks like a nuke has been dropped on it for about 3 days. Is there any way to prevent this from happening, or at leas reduce it to some degree?

    That's quite a unique problem you have there. Other than copious amounts of soap and water, I'd suggest you consult a Dermatologist.

    Are you sure it's acne? You could be breaking blood vessels in your face. It's happened to me before but not from lifting. Looks like my face is covered in little red dots.
