    Scrape Shins when deadlifting...

    i thought you were supposed to keep the bar as close to your body when deadlifting. when i do this the bar periodically scrapes my shins, so i end up with my shins all scarred up. can have the bar moved in front of me some distance and the movement still be effective?

    It's just something that happens, something you got to deal with.

    I don't mind it at all and I take it as a sign of a legitiment weightlifter.

    I remember when I went for my last clean PR I took a nice chunk off my leg and enjoyed a nice sight of blood running down my leg shin as I let the bar down.

    If my shin isn't a little sore from the bar scraping against it, I usually question whether I had good form that night or not.

    No gym for home, work out floor with 30, but is it for 20 like 30 lb when you no lift it to be for men, for 30 lbs instead? or half is 10 for 20 pounds?

    the thing to worry about is if the next morning you wake up and your butt is sore.
