Cover your shins.
Cover your shins.
How about just not fucking bleeding?
There are these things called socks that work pretty well.
Why just hepatitis?
Happens from time to time, second the "cover up" recommendations, read: if you are deadlifting or cleaning, don't wear fucking shorts!
Soccer socks and a cut up 2 litre plastic pop bottle are also an option.
Don't get Hep, or Staph, or anything else. Don't die.
I use the soda bottle method. I get a few funny looks, but I don't care. A few days ago I didn't use them on a warmup and sure enough I got sloppy on the warmup and scraped very lightly on my left shin. No blood, but the skin was definitely peeled off - the size of a pencil eraser.
If you have forgotten your socks swab the bar with alcohol.
