Bench Press
45x8x2; 135x8; 185x5; 205x8x10 - rested bet sets approx. 60-120secs as needed
I did this workout especially to see if I would get an exertional headache/migraine. When I have done higher reps in the squat, I sometimes get these massive headaches. I got none this time, BUT I don’t think the weight was heavy enough. I know i get them when I try between 315 and 405 for higher rep sets and I got one when i tried to max out for my informal meet in the garage and I was only doing singles!
All I got from this workout, is again, more soreness!!! When the soreness wears off, off will start training for the Dec contest in PA and cycle down from sets of 4-8 reps in Oct to 2-3’s in Nov.
Hope all is well with the regular readers of this thread.

10x10 on the squats, i want to throw up thinking about that one. probably means i should do it every now and then for conditioning.

Greetings from Missouri. QT, Jimmy I know you guys would appreciate this. Today doing partial DLs in the rack I pulled off a callous down to the hide. Bled like a stuck hog. Scared the youngsters. The 30 somethings think I’m wacked, it’s great. Keep the thread going it’s inspirational. The best to you,
Barry
Barry,
I hope you are not going to let a little flesh wound stop you from lifting…I remember the first time I tore a callus, it kinda hurt, but no where near the pain i felt when I took a shower after the workout and the water hit it…OUCH!!!
A gymnastics coach friend of mine showed me a way of taping he devised so I could still lift… Though I have only torn one twice since, I still remember that the first time water hits it…LOOK OUT!!!
Heal up/speedy recovery

QT,The training looks strong as usual!Keep it up brother, those PA.powerlifters are in for a long day!
Barry, Good to hear from you.There is always pain in the powerlifting game and we Masters know it all too well.

Jimmy,
Be careful!!! I hope you are able to compensate by going conventional and train around the injury somewhat.
Speedy recovery!

Barry,
I’m in Ft.Worth in a little country town called Azle on Eagle Mountain Lake.It’s 15 miles west of downtown Ft.Worth.Hope your hand heals fast brother.Keep in touch.TRAIN HARD!
QT,
I’m stretching and jumping in the whirlpool at the gym.I sit on a heating pad at home too!I like to do back outs and set up too.Your squat is moving along strong bro.TRAIN HARD! Jimmy T
Jimmy,
Thanks for your encouragement…of late, my squat sucks!!! I am trying to go back to squatting twice/week to see if I can make it come around a bit. Squatting once/week has gotten me progressively weaker.
In the past, on my light day i worked singles almost to failure; on my heavy day I picked a weight percentagewise of that near max single and did mutiple sets of reps with it. So if on light day I did 550x1 on my heavy day I would take 80-85% for reps for maybe 2-3 sets if I had enough stamina.
The next week I would try for a higher single(but still sub-max) and do maybe 90-95% for 2-3 reps x 2 sets if possible. The next week I would try for a higher single but now drop on the heavy day to 65-70% x 5-8 reps x hopefully 2-3 sets.
On my heavy day after the single, I would load the bar higher from week to week with a heavy weight for 1 walkout which I took of pins, walked back set up, and held weight for 5-10 secs while slightly bouncing the weight by unlocking and locking my knees. I’m gonna try something like this up to the contest in Dec.
