How would one remedy losing DL strength between programs. I have run 12 week strength and pulled 515@9…then ran 7 week hypertrophy and pulled 535x1@9.5/10…and was pretty accustomed to repping 435 for 6 at an 8 for my working sets. I have also gained almost 10 lbs in bodyweight since my first cycle of 12 week strength and I am 5’10 204
Now that I have switched back to 12 week strength, all of my lifts have been going up except my deadlift, which has seemed to go down because now 495x1 feels like a 10 and I have tried it 2 weeks consecutively to make sure I wasnt having an off day. I am repping 405x4x5 and it feels pretty heavy. This is so weird to me because I am hitting rep PRs at rpe 8 for bench and squat…no overshot rpe or grinders.
Should I just down regulate or try and add some more volume in the form of rdls or sldls? I am currently on week 4/13.
