The headaches become really bad when I get to the part of a session where a rep is difficult, and its a real effort to complete it. I can pretty much avoid the bad headache if I don't exercise to that point, but I also feel that there is no point in exercising without putting in that effort. Maybe I'm wrong. Any advice would be appreciated.
BTW, I have gone to my doctor, had a clean MRI, and am now trying a medication to help with this (so far it is unsuccessful).

Drink more water! Dehydration is a leading cause of headaches, especially if you're sweating a lot.

Hmm, I get headaches the day after a big round of exercise -- kind of like a work-out hangover. Lactic acid excess or something.
This sounds completely different, though. I don't know about the perfectionist attitude you have. If it hurts, it sounds like some blood vessel in your brain is weak, and I'd be really scared about messing with it. OTOH, no exercise will increase your risk of strokes, too. There should be a healthy middle ground.
The hydration thing probably won't hurt. You might try a doctor that specializes in sports medicine, and see if s/he has ever heard of this problem -- your doctor may simply not have seen many people with this problem.

I would worry that it might be due to high blood pressure or increased heart rate. Do you use a heart rate monitor when you work out? If so I would keep track of where my heart rate and blood pressure is when this happens.
My cardiologist has said it's more important to work out more often and for shorter periods of time if my heart rate starts to get really high. But I would track it for sure, it wouldn't hurt for them to do the 24 hour heart monitoring on you, where you wear a little heart monitor for 24 hours you do your normal activity (except a shower can't get it wet, wet) and then keep a diary of when you have the symptoms, they can then go back and check your entire EKG reading at the times. It's called an event monitor. It can also give them a bigger picture of what is going on while you are having the symptoms.

Studies showed an interesting result. Acupuncture eased tension and migraine headaches in the patients who underwent acupuncture as compared to those who received no acupuncture. But there was no noticeable difference in results between ‘real’ acupuncture and placebo acupuncture where needles were simply inserted into areas that did not have any benefit.

I'd visit a cardiologist. Sounds more like a heart/blood vessel thing then a head thing. This can happen to people who's hearts are freaking out or a sign your pulsoux is to low. Maybe it's time for a stress test to see what your bodys doing when you push it. Good Luck.

Start taking Lecithin tablets that you can buy in your vitamin section. If you have a tendency to have fat globules build up in your arteries, they restrict blood flow and can cause headaches when exercising strenuously. Lecithin tablets actually create a natural slick surface in the arteries, much like fish oil and olive oil does for our systems, and allows fat globules to move around the system without accumulating in specific areas to restrict artery blood flow.

Headaches can be caused by minor problems
like eyestrain, lack of coffee or more serious reasons
like head injury, brain tumors, encephalitis and
meningitis. Taking painkillers continuously can
have harmful side effects, so it is better to
modify your lifestyle. More information available at

it sounds like you are getting headaches caused by a high increase in your blood pressure..
I get horrible headaches, sometimes migraines when my blood pressure spikes up high.
I am now on a blood pressure medication to help regulate and stop this problem..and yes, it has worked..
it is hard to diagnose because unless your pressure is taken during or after the activity or reason that triggers it, they are unable to determine this..
