you throw on gloves and you'll become a queer who sucks dick behind seedy bar's on the other side of town !
That too!
the deadlift does not require bar contact with the shins. if its scraping the shins, you're simply doing it wrong. i do understand if you want maybe an extra rep or whatever, limiting the ROM by that .5 or so of a centimeter, may help in that regard, but for me, i would never let it scrape my shin. not worth the cuts.
listen, i will ask a college fitness instructor teacher what he thinks about the bar/shin and whether a towel on the back of the shoulders would hinder performance on a squat. maybe u guys could do the same, find a strength coach who has uptodate info (last 2 years) and ask.
and it was just the texture of the bar that caused the callouses. different bar was fine.
You're not very good at reading are you?
A towel on the back is going to do jack shit for squats, nothing, nada, not a godamned thing.
The bar scraping the shins is going to happen, if you don't allow it to happen, good for you, how much are you lifting? Probably not very much. On warmup sets you can allow the bar to float away from your legs like that, on heavier sets, it's not going to happen, you're going to drag the bar.
PS, fuck your college professor, I'm sure I can speak for Magoo when I say we are talking from experience, not what some kunt "fitness" queer thinks.
PSS, "fuck your college professor" is solely from me as Magoo probably is too nice to say that to you.
