So obviously a lot of controversy about science that you as a person lose strength when cutting and that this is due to the caloric deficit and the cut in calories. I understand the majority of this in a sense but at the same time my situation seems dramatic and mentally draining. On my quest of losing weight I lost over 90-95 ish lbs in the last 3 Years. However, my strength from some lifts has dramatically decreases as an example is:
High school (295-300 lbs)
Benched: 335
Squat: 455
Deadlift: roughly 405?
Then when football ended and I graduated I decided to lose the extra weight I don’t need.
After 2 years of college (still daily lifting with different programs and progressive overload etc)
Bench: struggling 225 for 6 (I use to warm up with 225 for 10 easily..)
Squat: 315 for 8 seemed like a struggle ( also warmed up 315 in high school..)
Deadlift 475 (for some reason this crap went up LOL)
And I’ve been “cutting” or linear dieting for 3 years trying to maintain my weight and strength and muscle yet I’ve lost so much strength Is this normal can I have some background info which this happens?
