Deadlifts

[audis4]

Ok i am short, short arms and doing dead is kinda a pain but i get through it. Whats really getting old is the rash on the shins week after week. Just as they heal , the next session comes around and i just rip them open again. You guys use anything to combat this ? I really dont want to wear long pants because after my deads i squat and i feel more comfortable in shorts.

I have a hell of a lot of battle scars from my shins up but I rarely skin them up anymore and I always wear shorts with low cut socks.

I usually just throw some chalk on my shins, that way if it did rub, it has a bit more tendency to glide.
Maybe try standing a bit wider (sumo) and about 1-1.5" from the bar.

I'm pulling 588 without any problems.
