    thanks for posting this- it says you can use them for soccer too- and I hate the way trad soccer socks feel, so these would be awesomely multi-functional!

    Well I'm always looking for benchmarks when I'm talking to women about working out. Do you know the circumference at your biceps?

    How long have you been training and how much can you curl?

    I don't curl really.. last time I did i was doing reps of 60... I've done 75 before... but I can only get out 3 or 4 reps- purely out of stubborn pride. (mostly because I have a few friends who whole body curl.. so I'll be a **** and come pick the bar up and straight curl with no rocking) No I lied- the last time I curled - we did body weight curls on the TRX LMAO- but before that- it was 60- I think. I just don't curl really. maybe... MAYBE once a month? I do a fair bit of compound and power lifting and then a lot of plyo/calthesteics.

    Um- Unflexed- is 12"ish
    Flexed is looking like 13.5ish
    my little headphone against an 8 x 11 piece of paper measurement (highly technical I know) is usually pretty accurate given the resources- I don't have a tape here.

    I've been working out for forever. Like since I was single digits in age. Daddy is a Marine and I grew up on a ranch- I tossed hay-sledge hammer- moved tires... moved horses- you know all the cross fit stuff without the label- and served a purpose. I went to a military school- I don't remember a time when i couldn't do at least 2-3 pull ups raw (like even when I was massively depressed and wasn't working out AT ALL). shrug- I had a good base to work from when i started getting super serious about diet stuff- a year ago. I stopped lfiting for a long time- like 3-4 years- I was doing very HIIT based lifting stuff- I'm a dancer- so dance training- and spending time doing that is important- I started lifting again about a year ago. it means I'm usually working out for about 3 hours a day. :/ kind of sucks- but both are important to me- so I make time for both.

    and no.

    Unless I'm cutting- I don't do cardio. And no my dance isn't really cardio.

    Scars, Blood, and Bruises are a MANDATORY part of Deadlifting!!

    I Just wear plain old footy socks...

    I agree. People look at you differently when you're walking around the gym with blood dripping down your leg. I've broken blood vessels in my nose in the middle of a squat rep too and finished my set with blood dripping down my face. **** happens...

    I'm a pale white kid, having scars up and down my legs when it's avoidable is kinda stupid... not to mention it's pretty nasty when the blood gets on the bar.

    pale and white here too.. never bothered me.

    although- yeah- blood everywhere- not my thing- I work at a big gym- sanitation is an issue.

    You do know that when you conventional DL that you don't start with the bar up against your shins right? Starting on your shins is for sumo pulling.

    I know everything about everything. Silly question.

    Yes.

    Also, seriously, why the debate over socks v. no socks guys? It's not even a real injury lol, no more than knicking yourself with a razor while shaving.

    Not really. I'm trying to figure out why people are tearing up their **** if they're not sumo pulling. I admit, I still hit them every once and a while but that's kind of a reminder to watch what the **** I'm doing. LOL! Not having to deal with hex plates helps too.

    But let's get back to the real topic here and I believe that is how hot Jo's is. :D

    I was going to say- I feel like this requires more pictures of women....

    any time an argument breaks out- boobies- or butts are kind of a prerequisite to solve the problem!!! moar deadlifts in socks. I'll find moar pictures when I get home- limited here. I don't wear booty shorts to dead lift- but I'm sure there are pictures somewhere ;)

    there should always be pictures of women lifting.... in any argument. in booty shorts and long socks. ALWAYS.

    These are a good option actually, but then I really don't like all the MMA style branding on them. Good suggestion though! Why are these things so scarce on the web though, you would think someone could make a killing selling these.

    In only cuz I heard there were booty shorts and long socks in this thread. As for the original question, I am slowly working my weight up on deads, so at the moment, even if i hit my shins, probably wouldn't be an issue.

    I know- I get very distracted by bacon- I don't even like jalapeno poppers but I saw a fun recipe for bacon wrapped ones.

    GAH!! I almost wanted to try them ;)


    mhmmmm bacon (said in best homer simpson voice!)

    You get shin guards (similar to the socks) that are specifically for your shins and you can go wild dragging the bar against your shins..

    I picked up some black soccer socks yesterday, and I'm going to cut the feet off some old crew socks and put the sleeves up front. Keeping it simple and cheap.

    I think if my date were wrapped in bacon we'd never leave the house..

    oh wait...

    nm.

    I don't like dates really- someone suggested bacon wrapped hard boiled eggs. That might be a new thing for me ;)
