    the bar should not be hitting the top of your knees it means you are rolling the bar out in front of you on the way back down. Keep it one motion up and down.

    yes your shins should be bloody and bruised after a good deadlift workout

    yup skinned shins, the bar should leave contact with your legs at any
    point.

    If the bar is going to hit somewhere, it should hit your shins, and not your knees...

    I like to use a cambered bar as it's more comfortable to me and I never plan on competing or anything. Here's a pic.
