Why the adversion to the LBBS?
It feels like an old drunk fishing for a toilet in the dark.

Both. Cable wood choppers won't help. Give sometime to think about it. I will post something up for you.I need some advise on increasing rotational flexibility... dynamic or static what's best, etc...
No gloves. None. Don't be that guy.Weights tonight. Squats, dead lifts, bench, and lat pull downs, 3x5 of each except the last that was 3x8. It was my first time doing DLs, and I have to say I think I'll like them, but have to figure out how much weight to use. Everything else I felt was a good challenge but the DLs seemed a little easy. Also, I think I need to get gloves as my hands feel like they're taking a beating, and I lighten up due to my hands hurting more than not being able to do the weight. Maybe that will go away with time as well. HIIT tomorrow and rest on Sunday.

Alright, Mr. Tough guy, how do you keep your hands from getting torn to ****?
Too stiff to make it. Recovering from back injury has created a ton of tightness in lower back, glutes and hamstrings. I've been working on the glutes and hamstrings and they are getting better.It depends on whether your lack of flexibility is due to an inability to turn due to muscular weakness, or muscular rigidity. In other words, are you incapable of making the move, or too stiff to make it.

Foam roller and lacrosse ball have been my best friends for months.Foam rolling and lacrosse balls in the 'knot' places will help. You might look into dynamic stretching and even Feldenkrais exercises.

The video was helpful as I have been doing it wrong and have big calluses. Also, there is no powder in my gym. Don't know if that is policy or people just don't but have never seen powder used.http://startingstrength.com/site/video/platform_managing_calluses
Also, chalk. Magnesium carbonate is your and my friend in the gym. Your hands will toughen up. it's part of the territory. My biggest problem with gloves, they make the effective width of the barbell bigger, making the lifts harder. At the same time, the padding of the gloves will not move consistently and thus unsafe. When you're trying to control a loaded, I want things as safe as possible
Chalk is cheap (see what I did there). What's your gym?The video was helpful as I have been doing it wrong and have big calluses. Also, there is no powder in my gym. Don't know if that is policy or people just don't but have never seen powder used.

Eco Balls.The bricks of chalk that you can buy for rock climbing are a fantastic option if you need to bring your own. A bit less messy, and you can keep them in a bag to use when you need. I had a gym let me use those even though they frowned on chalk.

Eesh. Probably not. Which is a shame. An eco ball may work. Also, liquid chalk may be a good idea.Anytime fitness.
Yes. In a good way.Any of you guys find heavy weight lifting effects your golf swing?
