Bfold,you have to be positive. In your case look how strong you became, so you know you are good enough. Sometimes major goals are hard to focus on, so make many small goals instead. In my case I am very close to benching 500 lbs{no shirt] and I would like to be one of the few dudes over 50 to...

Isn't love grand, hope the little lady is O'K' and way to go on the P.R.

Great pictures guys, I did 500 for 5 reps yesterday on rev. band benching with the lighter green bands raw. Now if only I can get the shirt on that I just received, LOL.

Welcome and the "show" must go on,LOL.

B fold, 50 year olds, thats older than me, LOL. There should be a Masters division, like in powerlifting. Started using the green bands on reverse bench presses, hanging them lightly off the top of rack. Am doing reps with 500, what a brutal sucker as the bands lose their tension.

Way to go, deciever.

Box squats, I love them, just started doing them 6 months ago off a 13 1/2" box.

Belt or no belt, go for the max. I do not wear one, but I will wear my groove briefs, once I can get them on, LOL.

I agree with srewball, Mr. Irish. I respect those that can speak their truth, damn, I am the same way.

Bro, you should listen to the boys. I am most likely the oldest one here and I started late in life. Powerlifting is the only way to travel, its like being a gladiator, man{or woman] against gravity, defying gravity. My arms are 20" and I only do curls once or twice a month, nothing builds...

I so far have not worn any gear, even though I own a bench shirt and briefs{never worn}, belt ,wraps, etc. I might start to compete in masters bench, then all 3 lifts, I have to take the first step. I believe that screwball and po3tic have a good point on C.N.C. but partials can also do the same...

Thanks for sharing your gym with us Mr, b fold the truth and you look like you have all the weights under control.

Welcome teStbaby, and best of luck to you in your quest for power.

A very good point Mr. Irish, indeed.

Good Mornings as far as I am concerned are number one for a better squat and dead regardless of what training you do, I have done 500 without much training with them, I feel 600 and 700 will happen even though I am not as young as most of you, train this movement hard because you cannot squat...
