      Does it hurt when the knurling on the barbell hurt your shins? Also, why is it so annoying when your hands scrape your thighs on the lockout, feels awkward.

      I pull sumo. The scraping on my shins isn't that bad, most of the time I wear long trousers so it doesn't affect me at all, but when I wear shorts I do sometimes get a red mark down my shin but I just try to make sure I wear slightly longer socks for the day.

      My hand placement used to be a little inside the knurling (on the smooth part) and had no issues with it scraping my thighs when locking out, it's actually the reason I grip there. But recently I've switched from using straps to chalk and I have to grip on the knurling now. It feels a little uncomfortable but since when was deadlifting comfortable.

      Yeah i tried sumo today for fun, did 1 plate. I have 2-3 fingers that is not on knurling. But it just feels weird when my hands scrape my thighs on the lockout.

      How wide is your stance? I point my toes out a lot and they are probably around 3-4 inches away from the plates, if you pull with a fairly narrow sumo you might want to try a wider stance. May depend on your hip mobility though.

      Fairly wide, i think i'm just being beta, and it will just take time to get used to. Other than that sumos feel great, i'll try 2 plates next time and see how that feels.

      You see the split second before you lock out? That top part is where i scrape my hands->thighs, not a big problem just annoying. It doesn't seem to happen to you that much because your grip is inside shoulder width.
