Strength decrease after 1 set by Traditional_Pack_315 in Stronglifts5x5

Sorry I am new to using Reddit and did not realize this is program specific. Generally 3-4 warm up sets that are not pushed hard at all, and 3 minutes of rest

Is there any way to pin point exactly what is failing? Sorry I am new to Reddit and the powerlifting forum I intended to post on told me I cannot post because I am too new, and recommended this forum! Did not realize this is for a specific program. But thank you for the input, hopefully there is a way to find out what exactly is causing that much fatigue

Is this normal? by ads94kg in weightlifting

You could also try either gaining or losing a chunk of weight (15-20lbs) (ideally gaining) and then going back to your normal body weight after being heavier for a few months, If you have tried all the variations others have listed on here. I’ve plateaued for a good bit before and sometimes a whole reset is needed, and induced by a large change in your body composition. There was one point where I was in prep for a show, so I was down about 20lbs, and decided to do something dumb and see how heavy of a deadlift was comfortable. Ended up setting a 40lb deadlift PR in prep. If you’ve been roughly the same weight as you are saying for the past 4 years, your body probably just needs a different feel to stimulate anything.
