Weight Loss Equals Strength Loss

Hey guys,

I’ve been a cardio maniac lately, and I’ve started to lose weight again. The only problem is, I’ve also started losing a significant ammount of strength. My dumbell bench press has dropped from being able to throw up the 120s in each arm… to having problems with the 90s over the course of three months. I’m starting to get a bit stressed out and I’m thinking about adding another 50-100g of carbs a day to see if the extra glucose stores result in additional energy as it is quite apparent the creatine sure as hell isn’t!

I’m looking quite lean, but I’m sub 180 now, somewhere around 177-178 :(


Anyways, here is how my chest workout went yesterday.. its feeble, and I lifted lighter on some stuff because my shoulder is still in the gutter.
