Nighttime lifting is great 👌
<#388502404641062924> Can anyone offer some advice on how to avoid scuffing up my leg (about 2.5" below knee) while deadlifting? I've got quite a nasty scar there now that gets reopened and bloody every time I DL. Just for the record, I'm pretty tall and am focused on proper form so as not to destroy my back. Any advice would be appreciated. (Even if it's "man up and deal with it, you pussy") 😏
wear long socks
problem solved
@Deleted User Thanks, I'll give that a shot
Man up and deal with it, you pussy.
Those scars are badges of honor.
😂 👆🏻
@Sonic Specifically deadlift socks are made for just that reason! Or wear long pants. Or get blood on the bar and enjoy the pain.
"Take the pain"
Yeah I wear socks and sweats or long pants on back/pull day and I've only ever had to deal with bruises or lil scratches
Damn, I wear sweats but still rip up the leg
if it means anything to you, scraping your legs is exactly what any pl coach would say is optimal
even sheiko says so
So I ended up buying a leg press for my garage gym. Did I just waste my money?
Leg presses are useful. Just dont expect them to replace whole body exercises like squats
Yeah, I need to work on my core strength to help out with squats. I'm having a tough time going ass to grass and back up.
Stretch, my guy.

5x6 at 315 and then x2 at 405. Pretty alright day.
Nice work. I'm still in recovery after getting my vasectomy reversal. It'll be a while before I can get back in the gym.
Was that too much info?
Proud of u
Thanks big guy. 👍
Your leg looks like it hurts
Hope everyone is making good gains so far in 2019!
Hit 405 DL after herniating my L4-L5 disc a year ago. Hoping to break 500 this year
I had a minor tweak in the middle of my peak 😒
I think cause high(er) reps and improper belt placement...
ima back off for about 8 days
gauge where I stand and then try for 405, I know I have the strength now
Maybe just go a little lighter and focus on form until the tweak feels like it's gone away
my form was fine, I actually felt really good the whole time, and it didn't feel particularly heavy at all. I'm convinced it was just the culmination of doing heavy squats prior, poor belt placement, and high reps
I only felt it after the bad set
I'll edit my peak protocol to be shorter and lower rep as well
in fact I got under the bar again today and felt fine considering
but I'll focus on recovery
