Does anyone know about bloods? This is my iron section. My teacher who is training in nutrition feels I have a lot of symptoms of anaemia but the only thing out of wack is transferrin. How do you get this in your diet? My research says that it's supposed to be formed in the liver.

Also as soon as I ate the chicken 7 or so bruises popped up on my leg calf. That is why I was originally put on a vegan diet. My doctor is sending me to a haematologist but the appointment isn't till July. So don't worry I am seeking medical advice. I just want to know if there is anything I can do to boost the transferrin. Everything else is just to paint you a clearer picture.
[MENTION=17457]Repacked[/MENTION] ; [MENTION=10084]Jungnaut[/MENTION] ; did you guys happen to watch the Richard Hawkthorne deadlift post on showdownhero's log? Basically saying keep it away from the shins. Has a slight bit of conflicting info from everything I have been told

I watched that vid ages ago in some thread, it's a good vid. You don't want your arms to swing once the weight comes off the ground so your shoulders and arms should be as aligned over the bar as possible. I don't consciously keep it close to my shins, I never notice they're thrashed until after. How close the bar is to your shins probably has more to do with your bodily dimensions, assuming form is constant.

Yeah the whole setup like most lifts I think is determined by the lifter and leavers. This is just the first time I have actually seen/read someone say keep it away from the shins in comparison to the cue of dragging it up, and just found it interesting

Most recommendations are to set up the bar over your mid-foot. If it's right against your leg the bar will swing out when it leaves the ground, and vice versa.
I thought keeping it near the shins was to help with stability. But I guess it you are able to keep it stable and away you can work different muscle groups.

That video [MENTION=17457]Repacked[/MENTION]; is talking about was in the deadlift thread wasnt it? I remember it as well, it explain basically 3 setup positions all slightly different depending on the individual, ie: long legs long torso, short legs long torso, or short legs short torso.

^ Yes thats much better than the Hawkthorne video as it clearly shows how different leverages between people changes the setup position ever so slightly. Hawkthorne has long arms in relation to the rest of his body so he can cheerfully drag the bar up away from his shins and keep his scapula directly over the bar. Someone with t-rex arms will have a bloody hard time if they try and copy that.
