Deadlifts squashing my nuts...
ad
Holy christ. Does anyone else suffer from this?
I didn't notice it as much at lower weights but recently i've started to increase my lifts substantially each week and it feels as though my nuts are taking a lot more pressure from the bar on the way up and down. Its actually becoming extremely irritating and is having a negative/unsettling effect on doing them. I feel like im having to change my form slightly and pull out a bit when the bar goes over my sack.
Does anyone have any tips on how to deal with deadlift nut squashing? I tried wearing cycling shorts yesterday but still felt it.

This happens to me when barbell shrugging. Try compression shorts it works for me
lmao I just started noticing this happening to me the other day hahaha. I hadn't pulled in around 2 weeks so I could concentrate on improving my squat more and I guess my form wasn't dialed in to where it was when I was pulling 3x a week and literally from the 1st warmup set to my work set the bar railed my junk on the way up, not no much on the way down. I ended up making some minor form adjustments afterwards and corrected it, I can't quite remember what it was exactly, more of a "feel/recognition" thing that I eventually got in tune with from when I had been pulling more often but I do know it was a subtle change, nothing dramatic. you can certainly pull conventional w/o this issue. Im actually on my way to go train them now, Ill see if I can recall exactly what I did to correct it
and i just replied to a 2 year old thread....dammit
Now I did too.. I blame you
LMAO
get a wider stance!
LMAO i dead lift sumo so i dont have that problem! try sumo see if u like it better!
lmao thanks for the replies, im going to narrow my grip and see if that has any effect...never thought about that.
I used to have this problem while doing barbell shrugs, and I would just take a wider grip to get the bar over my junk, but my thighs are thick enough now that it's not really an issue. What kind of grip are you taking on the bar while DLing? If you're too wide, you'll be pulling the bar higher than necessary. If all else fails, you can always give it the Tranny tuck
How short are your arms? Or maybe you have long testicles? The bar never crosses my junk on a deadlift!
You give new meaning to Raw Deadlifting! LOL ;-P
Same thing happens to me when i shrug. My balls get absolutely pounded!
Hahahahaha can't help but laugh a little! I'm like you, I keep the bar close to me( shin drag and all :)) You can try a slightly wider stance or pointing your toes out to widen your stance. Helps create a little bigger gap to lessen pressure. Lolol Just play with your form and wear support
Ya need to find urself some squirrell squeezers!
LOL...yeah, that's what I'm talking about!!!
wear a fuckin jock man. I'm old school, I wear an athletic supporter no matter what kind of working out I do. Gotta keep the boys all snug as a bug in a rug!!!
It's either that or have them all flopping around and/or getting roughed up and pinched and crushed isn't the name of my game man..and shouldn't be for any man.
Nothing like pinching the man junk at the dumbell rack.....
Constantly playing with myself at the dumbbell rack...
Tight chones bro. Big inner thighs and nuts cant hide. Tighty chones will keep em secured
Cut your nuts off. Problem solved lol
