Hi there, last week I achieved a 5 plate deadlift then attempted 500 and got it roughly to knee level. So far this year since January my deadlift went from 425 to 495 for my 1rm. I tried out a new bar this week a bit thicker but still a standard 45 lb bar, but I couldn't even budge 5 plates and struggled lifting 455 did I get weaker or do you think it was because I used a new bar?

You could also be fatigued. The longer you go at this the further apart pr's become. If I were you I would pick a well known program written by someone who has been around a while (5/3/1, cube, 10/20/life, 5th set etc. they all will work), run the program AS WRITTEN, and I'd be willing to bet that when the time comes to try a new pr you'll smoke more than that 500.

You can't pull PRs every week. As other's have said, at some point the gains slow down. Could be a host of things; nutrition that day (or the day before), sleep, hydration, different bar, etc. Or maybe it just wasn't your day, that's all. I wouldn't get too worried.

No way you lost that strength in a week's time. I'd guess it's probably recovery. It's fatigue masking your fitness. What does the rest of your training look like? Personally I used to squat twice per week, deadlift once per week. As my squat intensity has gradually creeped up, I've had to limit how often I go hard on deadlifts because squatting heavy and then deadlifting heavy within the same week is tough to recover from.

Testing your 1RM that often can be quite taxing on your CNS and progress overall. The only other guess is the bar itself. Most commercial gyms have ****ty bars that are not to spec, and even if the bar is off by 5 lbs, that'll be the difference in your ability to even break the floor. I have my own power bar at home and it's very, very different than the one at my commercial gym.
