Deadlifting Bloody Shins

[trofius]

yep saw that after,
scrapes not so much but i get bruises as well, probably more when the bar comes down, but there is a definete hit as it goes up..esp, when its heavy.

So long as I do conventional deadlifts, I don't scrape my shins, because they're against the smooth part of the bar. They do get bruises every now and again, though. I suppose if I had a wider stance, there'd be an issue.

G'day all
Yesterday, I realised that scraped and bloody shins are inevitable while deadlifting with correct technique...
My question, can you avoid it?
Is there a stance problem? Or do people wear long pants?....not real desirable in the Pilbara?

Cheers

I pull 260 & my shins look like a virgin child.
