weka veins and cappilaries that have lots of pressure added to them from aas and straining.

happens to me when I am running too much AAS

I can bench heavy, and dead lift heavy. If I squat to a max single, I pop that cork every time. It usually means my blood pressure is up and I need to back down on the AAS.

High blood pressure will cause this, my dad has high BP and gets nose bleeds all the time.

Thats the only time I've had a nose bleed other than been punched or busted in the face by someone or something Check your BP on a regular,daily basis.

It's usually geared powerlifters who have this issue; in fact, I'm not sure I've ever seen a raw powerlifter get the nosebleed / eyebleed thing.

The gear is very tight. If you're wearing properly sized gear, it can take 10-15 minutes to get into the briefs and suit, and that's having partners help you. That tight generates a huge amount of pressure, that's why it works - but yeah, smaller blood vessels will burst.

You ever use straps to lift? You know how your fingers turn purple from the increase blood pressure? A suit basically does the same thing to your head.
