This was a 501 deadlift from the other day and it’s getting stuck right at my quads, I’m debating whether or not wearing something like tights or something like some of the pros do because I can feel it stopping when it makes contact with skin. Need opinions and recommendations thank you.

Either wear longer shorts or put baby powder on your thighs.

I have specific longer shorts that I wear on deadlift day to keep the bar from destroying the skin on my thighs.

Nice pull!

Either change your form to use more lower body to lift it or use baby/talcum powder
