Lifting through the loss - todays session check-in

My squats held up but anything overhead fell off a cliff around month two. Curious whether you're eating right after the session or waiting a while.

My squat stalled around the same time my press did, but rows kept creeping up. Weird split

My bench stalled around month two and switching to dumbbells for a few weeks got me moving again, curious whether your overhead press issue is a shoulder thing or just general fatigue

Only 4 down so far and honestly my squats feel fine, it's the pressing that got shaky first. Curious how you're spacing protein around sessions.

Do you keep your rep ranges the same through a cut or drop volume when the presses stall? I've been fiddling with that for weeks and can't land on anything consistent

Same here, overhead press is the canary for me while rows just keep grinding along. Curious whether you've changed up your rep ranges on the hinge stuff or left them where they were.

Curious whether you're eating enough to actually fuel the lifting, that's the part I keep getting wrong. My sessions got shaky until I stopped treating protein as the only number that mattered.

Press was the first thing I noticed going soft too, but mine came back once I stopped adding volume on top of a deficit

Presses went soft for me too, but I kept the pull volume steady and that part held up fine. Curious whether you're still testing press maxes or just leaving them alone for now.

Curious how much of the press drop you'd put down to the cut vs just less practice on that lift lately. Mine slipped early too and i never figured out which it was

Overhead press was the first thing to sag for me too, but chins held steady the whole time. Curious whether anyone here tracks grip strength, mine tanked before the presses did.

My presses went soft right around the same point and i just quit measuring them for a while. Rows and pulls held up fine so i put my energy there instead of fighting the bench

My overhead press fell apart almost right away while rows barely moved. Do you think it's just the leverage changing as the gut shrinks?

overhead press is the one that got weird for me first too, and I'm nowhere near 40 down. Did you change anything about how you warm up the press, or just ride it out?

My overhead press went soft around the same point and I just kept it light instead of chasing the old numbers. Curious whether you're still testing it weekly or have backed off like a few folks here.

my press went hollow too but it came back once I stopped testing it every session. Are you still running any pressing at all or did you park it completely?

What's your split look like right now? I've been running upper/lower four days and wondering if dropping to three would help me hold onto the pulls better while the scale keeps moving.

Still early for me, but I'm curious whether the press stuff crept up gradually or just fell off a cliff one session.

My overhead press is the first thing that feels off too, everything else is still moving fine. Curious whether you changed anything about your protein intake as the weight came off.

My press went soft long before anything else did, so I just parked it and put the effort into rows and hinges instead. Curious whether yours came back once you stopped chasing the number on the bar.
