[quote=Anonymous]One thing to note, OP - most powerlifters are trying to hit big numbers. Doing that requires a lot of rest in between sets, more than most non-powerlifters typically take. Depending on the gym set up you could superset bench press and either squats or deadlifts. I'm a mid-40s women and this style of lifting always bulks me up more than I would like. My eating habits don't change - it's just the impact it has on my body (and has consistently had during the periods I've powerlifted over the past 25 years). That said, there's something so satisfying about hitting big numbers. I love the strength workouts I do now, but it's not the same as slinging the 45 pound plates on for bench![/quote]
