Continue training as if your diet didn't change at all until you absolutely can't keep up anymore and then lower volume but keep the same weights.

lower volume?? im already doing only 5 reps lmao are you telling me to go down to 4x3?

Its not easy to keep strength levels consistent, let alone going up, when on a cut.
Don't let this stop you. It is so tempting to think "fuck it I hate not getting stronger I'm going back to bulk" but don't.
The strength loss comes from lower overall levels of glycogen and recovery ability in your muscles, which also has effects on your ability to recruit muscles as effectively. The body dampens the power of the CNS in putting forth effort in times of deficit to try and limit calories lost.

Anyway, your strength will come back fine after your cut, and you will sometimes find, mid cut, that you have awesome days feeling super strong anyway.

If you are really struggling every workout to get your reps, then dropping the number of sets. If you can get 1x5 with something on a cut, then you would be able to get 3x5 with it within a week of eating more.

But yeah, the most important thing is to not get scared and stop your cut early because that leads to yo-yo cut-bulk cycles and no real progress.

linear progression on a cut probably isn't going to go too well
>>42821902
probably not

i know this is a common recommendation that Lyle McDonald gives a lot, but on a program that is already low volume like SS i would reduce weight on the bar slightly before I would sacrifice volume
