Hi,

You sound like a very dedicated gymnast!

There are a lot of reasons why you could be getting bruises. Gym equipment could be wearing out and not have enough padding in some spots. 

You could be overworking your muscles. Our muscles do need time for recovery and repair. Have you increased your work outs recently?

It could be your diet. There are many successful vegan athletes. These sports stars pay very careful attention to getting enough of the right kinds of food to support their bodies.

Here's a great article by Brendan Brazier who is a vegan triathlete about getting the right foods. http://vegkitchen.com/tips/vegan-athlete.htm

This would be a good time to talk to your doctor to rule out more serious problems.

Do you keep a personal journal?  It would be a great idea to keep track of what you eat and drink, what supplements you take,  when you work out, and notes about new bruises to help the doctors get a better idea of what might be wrong.

Hope this helps.
