Weird rash after deadlifting

[El Freako]

After doing my Smolov routine for 3 weeks with my deads 4 days a week I've developed a really annoying red spotty rash in the middle of my quads where the bar has been dragged up and down my thighs constantly.

Anybody else had this joy before?

Um... I'd check your form, from this description, it doesn't sound like you're doing the exercise right.....

why is it rubbing on your thighs?

are you doing it sumo style? that would explain things.

^^ ive seen pros scrap against their quads, some even use chalk on their quads

 

[El Freako]

When I hit the top of the movement it rubs over my thighs. Where should it be instead?

Don't get this on my quads as much as my shins. But you do want the bar as close to your body as possible throughout so I'd say grow tougher.

I'd say its just from the frequency of the smolov routine and hopefully should go away in my week off. Its just so irritating when I have keys in my pockets because they make it worse.

take the keys out of your pocket? :wutyousay: No but really, wear thicker shorts like a pair of cargo shorts so when it rubs that takes some of the friction off your skin.

I'm like Tim, I scrap my shins and with the new bars we have at my gym I leave some skin and blood behind which sucks.

I'm a short-shorts man when I train and when I do deads I actually role them up so the bar doesn't catch on them so its all bar-to-skin contact for me.

I don't train with keys in my pocket, I'm talking about when I'm wearing jeans with keys in my pocket.

Do what u must but at least you know what is causing the rash. If I had skin to bar contact with my bars, I would be a bloody mess. Mine are way too damn sharp on the grips.

I always keep the bar as close as I can but without sliding up my legs in the process. I wouldn't want a rash on my quads everytime after I do deads.

^ Yeah its because you dont have any protection You should wear longer shorts or pants

 

[theweapon]

Oh I know the bruises all too well. I would slam them on my quads simply to save that extra bit of strength to get one rep in my power lifting days. Ahh the good ole days.

stop wearing short shorts

sweat pants

I busted the ass out of my last pair of trackies/sweatpants doing ATG squats.

I scrape the living shit out of my shins every week doing deads, but nothing on my quads.
Baby powder on your quads should help with any friction problems. Other than that I got no idea, sorry bro.
Good luck with a solution mate.

I think the best solution will be to not do deads 4 times a week.
