Scraping up shins during deadlifts

[carlsuen]

i found a bar ( not your standard ivanko oly bar but 20kg none the less ) which is designed i think specifically for deadlifting.. cuz the smooth from the mid goes out pretty far out to the sides.. so if i deadlift shoulder width.. the rough surface would never touch my shins.. and i absolutely love it!

but on the down side.. it's been so used that it is slightly bent and when i DL, it would always slip back to the nataural bending position.. which sometimes effects my grip.. hope u understand what i'm trying to describe..

anyway.. when DL day comes, i try to well long pants so.. guess i won't be bleeding much..

I've seen talc suggested or even putting some tape on your shins.

Thanks for all the feedback guys,it is much appreciated.I might give the sumo style deads a try as seems to place more emphasis on the glutes/hamstrings,which are weak point of mine.

strange, my shins never get torn up....

try switching to sumo style... it should be even more to your liking given that your a tall boy.

My shins get torn up if I wear shorts but I've been wearing those slippery workout pants by nike or adidas and the bar seems to slide up my pants without destroying my shins.

Also, I don't know if maybe I'm not working hard enough but I hear people saying how 'taxing' deadlifting is. For some reason I feel perfectly fine the day after deadlifting. Maybe a little weak in the hamstrings but certainly not as taxed as I am after a heavy squat.

i used to get sore (in the back) every time i deadlifted earlier. i used to struggle to nail the form. then i switched to sumo style and i never get sore save for the hammies as you mention. i take it that alot of the ppl who were sore could not get the form right. the only time i ever scrape my legs is my hands on my thighs at lockout.

Squatting and RDLing has caused my deadlift to go up. I really don't give a fuck what you or the supposed "almost everyone" thinks, enigma. Keep your mouth shut.

HumanTarget, for a PLer or something? No, probably not. At the same time, my goal is geared towards olympic lifting and MMA. Also concerned with increasing my VJ and sprinting ability (mirroring CCJ there). I have no necessity for deadlifts. So to me, RDLs work fine as a replacement. Deadlifts are too taxing to be worth it for me anyway. I get the results from my other exercises just the same, so I see no reason to do 'em.

AI, you are so subtle hahaha
I love your finesse
