Brief Answer:
Can be due to trauma to the shoulder by gym equipment or knocking shoulder

Detailed Answer:
I have reviewed the attached photographs and these can be due to some other trauma like injury from the gym equipment or knocking of the shoulder.
It is not necessary that these are hickey.

Do you mean that either knocking the shoulder or carrying heavy equiptment or a hicky, would result in similar bruising on the shoulder bone
