    Man Am I Weak!

    Just 9 months ago I could incline bench 390 Lbs for one rep. I was also on gear at that time. I'm been cutting for almost 9 months. My calorie intake is now 2650 cal's with only 100 grams of carbs a day and I'm gear free. As of today my max incline bench is only 265 lbs.

    Note: I have dropped 61 lbs in weight and now weigh 219 lbs. I guess that's not to bad for a guy getting ready to turn 53 yrs old! This kind of bums me out seeing my bench go down everytime I work chest, but when all of you are stuck, look how fun for me it's gonna be after this fucking diet is over watching my bench rise like hell.

    Note: This is the lightest I've weighed in over 35 years

    Bench is my first lift to go south, legs and curls take awhile to fall as well as back movements.

    Don't feel bad. If I take a week off, or I cut too aggressively, my bench always goes down, and I am only 20. My bench press loves to teeter around the same point and plateau for extended periods of time before making a slight surge. That's still an impressive incline press, I must say. My squats are kinda like that too, although their upward surges are longer.
    The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

    you have to look at the facts:

    1) you were on gear and now you aren't.
    2) you are taking in less calories which means less energy.
    3) you have lost weight (possibly some muscle).
    4) you probably weren't doing any type of strength training program that was specific to increasing or maintaing your bench press.
    5) you have a torn rotator cuff muscle

    p-funk is right without "better living through chemistry" the upper limits you had achieved weren't really yours to keep. So now you are coming back to reality which is not all that bad. Congratulations on the loss of 61 lbs that is worth more than what you lost on your max bench. I am 54 and I know how hard it is.
