what a shit cosplay, girl is qt tho

It'll happen every once in a while, lifting can/will be effected by the littlest things: sleep, stress, diet.

Take a few days off if you need it and then hit it hard when you get back.

eat more calories
sleep more
if you can't lift your target, deload, do more reps, try again next time

Just keep hitting that shit senpai. I do 3x8 though for the aesthetics.

This.

We all have off days sometimes. The lifts will be sucky for a reason though. Either motivation is lacking, you haven't eaten healthy/enough, haven't slept enough, whatever.

Don't sweat it. Review the day, see if you fucked anything up, and carry on.

I had like a 3-4 week head start on my ohp before i decided to bench. I've also been lifting on and off since 2014. and by that i mean mostly off. I've probably lifted about 9 months total since 2014 in sporadic 2 month bursts

Deload weeks fix any problems I have ever had with progression. Just drop your weight to 60-80% of what you were doing for a week and then jump back to where you were when you stalled. It may seem frustrating to miss two weeks of progression, but if you try and force it and keep going heavier when you can't lift last week's set will fuck you up much worse. As you get stronger and it becomes harder to make gains you will need to Deload more frequently, but that's really the best way to do it
