it's not supposed to knock into your junk..., you should be pulling back a little. if you ever try the straight bar again, make sure the bar is infront of your knees and shoulders, not up against your toe, shins

EDIT: nevermind, i wasn't thinking about the lockout, it's never been a problem for me with hitting my junk, but i have pretty long lanky arms lol

 

[Ramcononer]

haha yea thats the worst part bro...I know what you mean though.

am i missing out on something? the bar has never hit my junk... and i have a pretty handy sized junk too

when you lock out at the top of your deadlift the bar is right near the Ol Cannoli...unless you have longer arms....Im sure Im not the only one who notices this..

yea bro, i'm just kiddin, i do have longer arms. but i'd still suggest lifting with the regular bar.

Only thing that sucks about using a regular bar is taking the skin off your shins once in awhile when you get a little too close.
