deadlift bleeding Anonymous
I was doing my deadlifts at the gym last week and the scab that had formed from earlier deadlifts broke and I started gushing a little blood that got on the barbell.

I went again this week, and the same thing happened. this ever happen to any of you /fit/fags before?

If I had been doing it alone, or with likeminded folks I woulda been cool, but surrounded by strangers, I got a little nervous and just cleaned up and ended my workout prematurely.

Dude, be more careful. When you're kneeling down with the weight--or pulling up for that matter--your knees should barely be coming in front of your feet. If you keep your weight shifted on the backs of your feet, instead of the front, you shouldn't have this problem.

Shift your weight as if you were literally about to sit down. The weight is going to hold you up and keep you from falling backward, so don't worry.

Your heels shouldn't be coming off the ground at all when you sit back to lift the weight up.

The bar may still make contact with your shins, but all of this should lessen the impact of the bar.
