Huge change man. Most noticeable are the shoulders and arms. Need more back width. What does your routine for you back look like?

[BendtheBar]

You made some nice progress. Keep hard at it.

Regarding back, have you deadlifted much this year?

right now my back routine is wg pullups (50 reps, gonna do weighted once i get 50 in 3 sets), lat pulldown, db or bb rows, vbar pulldown and cable rows. my width is lagging for sure, i think the weighted pullups and deadlifts i did last year helped a lot with that.

thanks man, currently i am doing track and trying to get to states if possible, so i dont do deadlifts because it destroys my CNS and it takes too much out of me. gonna start doing deads again in a few weeks. do you have any information on how not to scrape my shins with the bar? i was having that problem a lot last time i did heavy deads, pretty sure my form was good but the bar would scrape coming down. someone suggested chalk but i wanted to know if there was another alternative. no hex/trap bar to do deads at gym.

Regarding The deads. It's actually supposed to scrape up your shins. This my whole problem with them, I don't do this.

Chalk is a bad idea to put on your shins. If you see lifters with white shins it most likely baby powder. This doesn't create friction, the way chalk would. Another thing you could do is wear long socks or pants.

yeah last time i wore soccer socks but it went right through, i have a long scar on my shin from doing deads like 2 months ago lol. it feels alpha and i honestly wouldnt mind but i dont wanna bloody up a bar that other people will be using. i guess i can try wearing pants and long socks together and see how that goes.

[BendtheBar]

I'm not a shin scraper at all on deads, but that has more to do with me lifting around my body structure.

Make sure your foot placement is about halfway under bar - from a side view - not looking down. Not saying this will help with the shin issue, but it will prevent you from starting with too deep a foot position.
