Deadlift...

i wear think long socks and long pants on deadlift day.

to get around grip issues, just reset your grip between reps. you're supposed to be touching the bar and weight on the ground between reps anyway, so it's a good opportunity to rest your grip.

what's really annoying is when the day after your forearms are DOMinated :laugh:

wow, I was so full of myself for deadlifting 100lbs this week. Now I'm humbled

You lift what you can - don't compare yourself to other people. Based on your age, weight, and build, a 100 lb deadlift is something to be very proud of. I'm 6'2", 360 lbs and have been doing Highland Games (even threw at the Waxhaw games a couple times!) for six years. I've got rotten form, but have got a large muscle mass to work with.

Here's a good chart to compare yourself against if you want something to push for:

Way to go! Bruises are a badge of honor! I wear long pants on deadlift days-hate it in summer.

Yes it is! Or at least caber tossing is one of the events.

I wear long socks, my PR is 325 I plan on shattering that tomorrow.
<---that pic is 295 or 315 deadlift. The most relaxing few seconds of my life are at the top of a deadlift
