This is really really common problem in athletes and weight lifters , when then lift heavy weights , their muscle fibres may break this causes blood to ooze out a bruise is formed , this is called post heavy work out muscle soreness, it will go in a few days. to Help healing he should do a few things.
1) Rest.
2) Don;t life weights yet.
3) Warm compresses.
4) Rub Brufen or diclofenac cream over the area.
5) Brufen ortylenol for pain.
Just keep checking when bruise fades he can start training again no worries. just keep the weights well in range of his strength and keep good safe posture while training to avoid injuries.
