    Switching from strength to hypertrophy routine make you lose a lot of strength?

    So I did Starting strength for about 8 months and got to
    Squats 260x5
    Deadlift 305x5
    Military press 120x5
    Power clean 170x5
    Bench 195x5
    and plateaud on everything so I switched to a 5 day split hypertrophy routine for about 3 months
    Monday-legs
    Tuesday-Chest
    Wednesday-Back
    Thursday-Off
    Friday-Shoulders, traps
    Saturday-arms

    I've seen little to no gains and lost a couple pounds and all my lifts went down for example
    squats 260-215
    Bench 195-165
    But all my lifts that I did on my hypertrophy routine went up. Is this normal? And switching back to SS Btw
