take taurine, it's a hell of a lot cheaper and a great volumizer plus many other things

this is what i do but i throw in abs on leg day also, and it's been working VERY well for me. i'm doing a pling routine and have had great gains

why would you try and avoid protein shakes?

i'm 250 and 5'10, it's a little difficult to have the bar ride all the way up and keep my shoulders back

oh i have plenty of abrasions on my knees and i let the bar ride up my thigh. but the way it's being said is to always make sure the bar doesnt lose contact with your leg. and i've seen plenty of videos and lifts in person where the bar does not ride the shin

so on his deads did he scrape the bar all the way up his shins, across his knees and up his thighs, then back down his thighs across his knees and down his shins every deadlift he did?

in both articles that you quote it does not say "TOUCHING" if they wanted it to touch they would say touch all the way up. it says as close to the leg and shins as possible. when have you ever seen someone scrape the bar all the way up there legs? but if you want bloody shins and knees when...

no, but nowhere in all the readings i've done and all the videos i've seen have i seen anything that says let the bar scrape it's way up your legs. from shin to thigh

it says very close to the shins, not touching

99% of the videos i've seen of powerlifters who are pulling ridiculous weights, there shoulders are behind the bars. plus the bar is away from the shin and as he says you pull it in a diagonal line towards your body. the way you guys are talking you are going to have a lot of 16 year old kids...

so when dave tate says to have the bar away from the shins he doesnt know what he's talking about?

so basically you're telling me to have the bar be in contact with my shins, knees, and thighs the entire time during the pull?

i agree with what your saying and i've seen plenty chaulk up there bodies. but the way legion said it, and remember you have a lot of young guys on here who dont know much, is pretty much you scrape the bar all the way up your legs from start to finish. pretty much the bar never leaves contact...
