Deadlift question for MEN ONLY

I'm having an issue crushing the hell out of my twig and berries on deadlifts. My poor boys can't handle much more. Should I wear some protection? Tell my frank and beans to stop being so delicate or what?

From the bar hitting them, or from your legs squeezing? There are options: hex bar for deadlifts, spread your feet further apart, and only do them when you're "excited".

I am not a man but I noticed this happens a lot to the Olympic power lifters and I thought... why not wear a cup? It's like a sports bra for men.
Sorry... its just when someone says "no girls allowed" I just HAVE to get into that club house.36 -
Try tucking?1

There's always one lol although I wonder how many have looked.
Legs a little farther apart solved it for me, at least enough that it doesn't hurt.0 -
Oh of course we've looked. Just like many men look at boob threads.
OP, is this a new problem? Did you change your form somehow without realizing it?

Also may I ask the kind of DL you are doing?
Of course we looked....
I was wondering this too. Conventional or sumo? Try compression shorts under your gym shorts.0 -
Hey, at least you're not this guy...

There are women only threads fairly often. This is maybe the second men only I've seen in 2 years.1 -

I think it was more the manner of exclusion. If he'd said "Men's question" or "need men's advice" or something, I wouldn't have looked. But I work in a technical team that is otherwise only men, so saying MENS ONLY is bound to make me turn up anyway...3

^ That's what I am thinking. Are you hitting yourself at the top of the lift? If so, could you spread your grip out a bit further so the bar lands higher at the end of the lift? Or, in, so it lands lower?
fine. At least I am being serious, people!0 -
post a video , for better assessment and suggestions6
