I finally got my deadlift form.

[WarriorPL]

Today i did 4 sets of 135x12

OMFG is my back tight and sore.... not to mention my knees are really messed up!

I got a few of my buds to watch my form, and they told me it was perfect... i sure hope so because i'm adding weight next week!

Do you have video? Why do your knees hurt? That concerns me.

I think his knees are sore from the bar traveling along his legs.

 

[spatts]

Ouch.

I think his knees are sore from the bar traveling along his legs.

Bingo!

I wish I took videos... i'll try next time.

But yeah... knees are all red and bruised from the bar travelling up and down. I got real short arms so it's harder on me, bah. I gotta keep it againt my legs the whole time.

My knees get a little banged up as well. You might also get scraped up shins. Its part of deadlifting.

my knees are always toast after deadlifting

 

[JDarty6173]

Same here... I always leave the bar with a little more of my skin and blood attached to it than i woud like.....

 

[spatts]

Ugh...glad I don't have to deal with that. Doesn't touch my knees or my shins, conventional or sumo. Glad you found your "groove" though!!

Try placing the bar out in front of you more...so you are pulling the bar back. It allows you to use your bodyweight for more leverage (see-saw). Also allows you to pull in a straight line instead of out and around your knees.
