Wear Your Damn Deadlifting Socks!

[DieYoungStrong]

So, over the past couple years I have been guilty of wanting to be a hard-ass and never wearing deadlifting socks. I liked the permanent scabs on my shins.

Well, it's finally come back to bite me in the ass. I ripped my shins apart per usual during last Fridays pull session. Last night I notice me leg getting all red around the cut. Woke up this morning and my leg was swollen red and painful all around the area.

I went to the Dr this morning, and I have a staph infection in my leg. If certain "events" that happened recently hadn't happened, I probably would have walked around with it for a week or so, and the Dr said I would have had some possibly serious issues. Thankfully, I caught it early, and was just put on hard core antibiotics for a week.

Long story short, pull your damn socks up!!!

**** dys
I am getting some next paycheck now

I always use disinfect spray on my legs after. I take the stuff they have in the gym spray it on my legs and wipe them down after

Better then socks because you will still tear and bleed with them on is knee sleeves worn over your shin.

I'd rather see you pulling your shorts down in your vids but I guess that's just part of the American dream....

Apparently I'm not going anywhere as heavy as you animals because I've never scraped my shins with the bar.

When I pulled my 475 at 185lbs I didn't scrape either.

Time for me to put my big girl panties on and man up

I think I'm going to add a disinfectant spray to the gym bag.
Spray the bar off.

Never thought of the possibility of infection. Good looking out and get better brother.

Shit DYS, I got scabs on both shins that rip open every week too. I never even thought of the possibility of infection until I read your post. I just ordered a pair of deadlift socks from EliteFTS. Staph infection is no joke. Get better soon dude.

Same here. My shins have been been opening up and scabbing for a long time now. Guess it's time for some crossfit style.
