Use chalk. That way, the bar won't slip and tear up your hands. Is also safer than gloves.

Having torn blisters the size of silver dollars isn't a great feeling, which has happened once when I forgot them.

I hope that's sarcasm, because ****ing blood all over my shirt afterwards pissed me off. I was curling 70 pounds with proper technique when it happened.

You should invest in callouses.

You should be getting calluses, not blisters. Not sure if you should get either though with a 70lb curl.

Either way, get some chalk or liquid chalk.. ditch the gloves.

Ronnie was a powerlifter before getting into BB. He knows all bout 'da chalk.

The last two sessions with dead-lifts I've made it all the way to the 2nd to the last rep then I lose my form (focus) and hurt my lower back. It happened last Thursday and just again tonight, I probably should have waited a couple more days I just hate missing workouts. Anyone have any tips or advice on how to keep this from happening? What should I do in the meantime as I'm likely out of commission for a week or so?

I see people talking about the Starting Strength program, is that this?:

http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wi...inner_Programs

I pretty much do that now, except i've been doing 5 sets of 8, at lower weights. I'm a pussy and can't lift much, although i've improved quite a bit since i've started.

do 10 to 12 reps a flat rate, but at lower weights it's all about perfecting the technique at medium to medium slow speed while your repping it out to 10-12. compound movements ( combine two exercises in one rep helps for variation too)

The bad thing about that is that, because it's only $10 a month, there are 1000 people there at any given time. I took a tour at about 1:00 at my local one and there were lines at damn near every machine. 1:00! I wouldn't even want to see how many people there are after 5:00 when people get off work.
