If the programs goals don't match your goals, it's definitely time to switch. Lajoo posted a great thread, other stickies should lead you to good workouts too.

I've been a fairly regular lifter the past 2 years but only recently quit program hopping every month or so. about 4 months ago I settled on the basic Starting Strength program and saw some decent...

If all you have is the chalk, just carry it. If you have other stuff (drinks, straps, whatever) carry it in a sports bag. Who cares what you look like, just lift.

How does this thread keep coming back?
Stahp.

This is the best gif in the history of the internet.

The bigger you get, the more guys get jealous, and the less girls get interested. Girls don't want manly men anymore, they just want skinny boys who cry.

Same way you got the strength in the first place. Eat. Lift. Eat. Repeat.

Way too many protein shakes. Aside from that, listen to the guys above.

If you're seeing long term results from it, keep going. If you're platueaing, something is wrong.

Well, you can't expect to make too many gains while on a cut. It does seem odd that there is such a huge difference in strength on your lifts though. Did you just start benching? What's your form...

What's your routine look like? How many calories are you getting? Negatives can be a useful exercise when done properly but I'm just wondering if there might be another problem.

When I was cutting at school I usually had cereal, 2 sandwiches, some pasta, granola bars, real simple stuff. When I was bulking, I had all of that and added a pizza every dinner. Also drank a half...

With such low volume, I'd say do full body and focus on compounds. Start with lower body movements, then alternate push and pull upper body.

I also do DOH for deads, but when I get to higher weight I switch to hook grip. It doesn't work grip as much as normal DOH, but it does better than alternated.

Compounds are great mass builders. Keep the rest times to about a minute and use relatively slow tempo. I don't know enough about ABA plans to critique exercise selection, so although my personal...

My best gains, both strength and size, have always come from upper/lower splits.
My usual workout goes like this.
Bench press
Bent over row
Shoulder press
Pull down
Chest fly
Db shrug
Triceps...

Are you getting enough water? Were you taking creatine before this happened? I'd stop taking it until you get this figured out. See a doctor.

With how low volume your workouts are, 3x a week is fine. As far as the strength loss is concerned, I wouldn't worry about it. It's not uncommon to see slight fluctuations in your strength,...

3 a week.
Way more fun to get my macros from eating.

Some good advice from everyone else in this thread. I would add some heavy leg workouts + plyometrics and power clean.
