Shins Bleeding While Deadlifting

[OStateRugger]

Does this happen to anyone else when they deadlift? Is it a result of poor form? And most importantly, is the blood loss affecting my gains?

[shadowbobo8028]

you're supposed to keep it close but not literally scraping your shins...

wear long socks or sweats when u deadlift

[rackcurler17]

yes, the blood loss is affecting your gains. Blood is 98% testosterone, 2% anabolism

i wear sweatpants and my shins bleed everytime. your not deadlifting right until your shins start to bleed.

I disagree. the bar is prob too close to your body

Agreed. Actually happened to someone today and the bar was literally scraping his shin a bit.

my shins bleed basically every time i deadlift. i'd rather make sure the bar is close to me and have my shins bleed than risk having it out in front of me.

Think about this logically: if the bar is scraping your shins, that means it's as close to your body (and its center of gravity) as possible, and the closer the bar is to your center of gravity the easier it is to pull. It's uncomfortable, but once you are deadlifting heavy, a one inch difference in the bar position is huge and certainly noticeable.

Agreed. Keeping the bar close to your body allows for better leverages and less lower back stress.

My lifting partner is a beast deadlifter and his shins are always bleeding. It looks kinda bad***! Just keep working and don't let it bother ya

Pretty much answers your question, skip to 4:00 for your question

Don't care what anyone says. If your shins aren't bleeding, you're doing it wrong. Just disinfect bar prior to deads.

I look like a bloodbath after heavy deadlift day. Blood on hands, shins, and probably eyes as well.

Wasn't aware I was dling wrong

[x1Dylan1x]

actually youre not holding the bar close enough. youre going to want to jab the bar through the shins and cause a few bones to pop out. slight bleeding is indication youre not trying hard enough.

I do a lot of deadlifts and never have problems with it hitting my shins. This includes different forms of deadlift. Anything from straight leg to sumo to conventional.

it's not poor form at all, if anything it's better, wear sweat pants on days you deadlift and this won't happen anymore

You lose that there pump. Decrease in blood. Nutrients escaping body. You need to consume blood so your macros are still on point.

That is literally impossible on a deadlift.

OP wear socks inb4 da AIDS.

[papare33]

But the bar path isn't straight, and you have less leverage because you have less weight behind the bar.

[Nicro327]

If you lose enough of it it may affect your life span

Don't injure yourself buddy. YouTube how to do it properly.

great explanation bro. I agree.

[Ryanbsupreme]

So my 370 deadlift means nothing because my shins have never bled?
