Where did all my leg strength go?? (serious) (rant)

[LB42]

Okay, so during christmas I was first sick for a week, and then on vacation for another where I worked out once on a gym with machines only. Since then I have regained and improved my bench and power clean, but my squat is AWFULLY weak. Before christmas I used to squat 360-380 for a bunch of reps, but now I am only able to do that with 315. It's been like that for two weeks (four squat workouts) and it just makes me mad. I hit PRs in both close grip bench (225x8) and power clean (250x3) this last friday, but when I was squatting today I was STILL only able to do 315 for like 6-7 reps.

Now what? Just gotta keep training I guess?


Cliffs:

lost bout 60 pounds in my squat
hit prs in other lifts
still weak as hell in squat
what to do?

[pumped12]

yea man just keep at it, it'll come back

go heavy on squats again, and the strength should come back as quick as it left you

maybe you are trying to overcompensate on your legs now and actually overtraining them?

[The_LB_43]

plyometrics, bro!

Don't think so, I've been following the same routine. But maybe overtraining has to do with it anyway, cause I've felt even just using the bar I don't have the same power in my legs.

plyometrics, bro!

I'm doing that 1x a week. We'll see if it helps.

Samething happened to me but I had a
225x2 to 145 drop
A lot worse.

[The_LB_43]

lol ^ you start takin crack?

[Fullback7]

Maybe if you stopped doing high reps, and dropped to singles or triples you would jump back up .

[CHSstud2]

the plyos should help. also make sure ur stretching enough

Happened to me too, bench didnt drop at all squat went down a lot
It will come back though, be patient man
