Yesterday i barely got 3 reps that felt super hard with a weight I benched for 8 reps two days before.

How do you deal with it? Are weak days only the result of accumulated fatigue, or are there other possible causes?

I ate the same i always eat, slept like always, etc... I don't get it

Maybe you didn't let your chest fully recover from your last workout.

Overtraining
>>
Could be overtraining, could be recent undereating , could be just a classic weak day. Don't let it get to you.

Benchpress isn't a chest exercise
>>42413249
Just keep on training and if your strength decrease you may should post again

I've found that my sucky days are strongly correlated with at least one of:
>Not getting enough sleep previous night
>Sitting around like a degenerate all day before going to gym at night
>Being poorly-hydrated
>Eating too much shortly before gym
Though sometimes you're just not feeling it, your energy levels are naturally going to fluctuate and unless you're taking stupid amounts of preworkouts you'll always have some "fuck this" days. Sometimes I feel like I have no "power" for my compounds and just can't make them feel right, especially squats. All you can do is power through them, it's better than not working out.
It's probably not overtraining, unless it's happening consistently.

Excellent point. You sure won the room over with that one.

not my fault you are following broscience

Bench is all chest with triceps as a secondary
>>
>>42413413

are you seriously saying that the pecs aren't involved in the bench press?
>>
>>42413249
Perhaps you are overreaching but this is impossible to know without knowing your routine, lifting stats, macros etc.

Or just sometimes you can have shitty workouts with no particular cause whatsoever. It can happen rarely, but if it happens often enough for you to stress over reevalucation of your current routine/diet will probably need calling.

You can't do max effort all the time.
Do a heavy intensity day and then later in the week do a volume day

Personally I do 3 days a week Full body with a heavy medium light set up

Heavy days I work in the 1-3 rep range and use weak point training

Medium is 4-7 rep range

Light is 8+

That fucking font though, are you some kind of tween?
>>

>How do you deal with it?
Weak days is your actual strength, anon.

Everything else is you just being in a pampered state of well being that goes out the window 10 minutes into any actual work.

What are you, some kind of tween?

Keep going Bro, maybe you train to often. I used to train 6 times a week for 6 months, then I was sick and I could barely bench 100 kg besides one week before I could bench 110 kg for 5 reps. Now I reduced it on a full body workout 3 times a week which I trained the whole time until my 6 month 6 days per week training which gave me also decent results and the strength loss was never that high like in my sick week after 6 days a week training.

>lats in the bench

When will this meme die?
>>
Change your mindset to be satisfied with being exhausted at the end of an exercise.

This is a healthier attitude because no matter what you'll go to the limit. By continuing your weight x reps behaviour you only lose potential on good days and hurt your ego on bad days.
>>
>>42413249
I added weight dips into my program and it has helped with bench. Total broscience here but it worked for me.
>>
>>42414189
Im OP, Ive been training every single day for more than a month now, one day upper body, the next day lower, and so forth.

In the beginning I thought it may be too much, but since I was making great progress and feeling good I just kept going. Maybe now it's catching up with me and need to take a rest

Unless you pin that is too much volume m8
