Im getting weaker please help .... Reps

[thekid34283]

well today was chest day and today and my last like 3 chest wrokouts iv been feeling so weak (I do 5 day splits) today i could only do 160 3x when in the past i could do 170 6x. Its not like i lost any weight or anyting i just been feeling really weak. Could this be a cause from overtraining if so would it be smart to take like 2 weeks off from working on chest?

Help is way appriated

if you're on a 5 day split i doubt you're overtraining - try not to be in the gym for more than 1 1/2 hours. hows your diet and routine look?

[gerbilz]

try working with dumbells, maybe you hit a plateau with barbells.

[Battista]

your diet probably started getting bad, maybe your rest too

best advice you'll get. My bench wa stuck at 180 for weeks and i was frusterated as well. Then for like 1.5 months all i did for chest was incline, flat, and decline dumbbell bench. I went from repping 50's to repping 70's. I came back and my bench was only went up to 180, but my muscles were way more rounded out, enabling me to begin increase my bench. It has been 1.5 months since then and my bench is currently at 210, which is like almost 5 pounds per week. You gotta mix it up man.

dont even worry then. Stop doing bench for 2-3 weeks and only do dumbbell. Stop doing dumbbell when you platued on that and then move back to bench

i do both dumbell and bb, so your saying just drop bb completly. if i do that do you think i should do more sets with db then?
