problem with shins during lifts

[AngryMuscles]

ok ok. so doing proper deadlifts/cleans will hurt your shin by scrapping it..no shit. it hurts and mine has scabbed over. now, i dunno how I will be cleaning/deadlift without reinjurying. advice. thanks

i guess try not bending the kness so much...no scraps on my shins from either bro

One of my legs is tattooed, all i do is take one of my cloth elbow sleeves and put it over my shin when i pull.

it happens to most people that do deads sooner or later. i have scars on both of mine from deads over the years. i always wear sweats and have even worn shin guards in the past when the scabs weren't healed yet.

I'm usually okay, but once in a while I'll snag em good and it'll kill.

How's your technique though? I found a lot of the times I'm scraping it's because i'm bending my knees too early.

i too always workout in sweat pants

 

[AngryMuscles]

i think my technique is better now..with more leg drive. it usually scrapes on the way up. will take vids

 

[AngryMuscles]

and i think because i pull back more nowadays compared to before
