Flat dumbell presses going down?

[motionman04]

I haven't done flat dumbell presses in about 5 weeks or so and at that point, I was able to do 80lb dumbells at 7 reps. Today, I tried 80lbs again for the first time in a while (I was doing the barbell in the meantime) and only got out 3 reps. Is this normal?

I should mention that the past weekend I did not have the kinda diet I usually do because of a party, and did not sleep saturday night and worked sunday, however I did return to normal diet for the first half of today with a lot sleep the past night. Could this have contributed to the significant decline as well?

Dumbell bench presses are quite technical so you just lack technique atm prolly.

Seems like to me once I stopped doing DB presses mine go down very easily, but just the same they go up very easily as well! Just lack of doing em I think.

Nervous system isn't used to it.

Stabilizers aren't used to it.
