    They say that your legs will lie to you. Perhaps you weren't squatting with maximum intensity prior to your cut?

    That could be happening because strength can vary day to day for so many different reasons.

    One is like Shady said, perhaps you werent workin' with max. intensity.
    Strength also varies with sleep, diet, form, and most of all mental approach.

    Tis why i think strength is overrated. You never really get a true gauge for it...
    You're a funny guy, Sully, I like you. Dat's why I'm going to kill you lahst.

    If you are loosing fat your upper body is becoming ligther so your legs does not have to push as much body weight hence you can add some more weight to your squats - but WTF do I know?

    Makes sense to me
