Any grippy glove works. I raced on baseball batting gloves for 3 seasons. Cheap and grippy. Now I use golf gloves. They are a lot more supple plus I got them for $7/pair on sale. It's hard to find Left/Right matches in golf gloves, though.

No idea. Never used either one. Every butt is different. Let your butt decide.

I've just been lifting without any kind of direction really. I figure lifting anything is better than lifting nothing.

It's a great book. My old coach actually contributed to it.
