any of you guys tear the shit outta your shins by the bar when you’re deadlifting? I almost always leave the gym with blood trickling down my shins after deadlifting. The articles here seem to emphasize pulling with your weight back on your heels and your back flat. This tends to pull the bar right up against my shins.
Is this common, or must my form be messed up? One kid in the gym said i looked like i had great form, but then he proceeded to tell me how he cuts his shins a lot too sooo…
Oh and here’s a gorgeous picture of my awkwardly tanned and hairy leg, with scabs on all over my shin.
