Couple of months ago I could do 32.5kg dumbbells for 6 reps shoulder press; today I couldn't even hoist 30kg above my shoulders, let alone get a rep... :-\

The squat might go down because your belly gets smaller.

increase your carbs/ decrease your fats.

Don't take advice from this guy, he is fat and looks like shit. ;)

Strength loss will depend on your diet, and how fast you are losing the weight, along with your workout routine and rest.
For example, if you are doing a low carb diet, then your glycogen stores will be depleted when working out...this happens even when your not dieting, but normally, you would eat a very high carb meal or drink after the workout to replenish glycogen. A lot of people on a low carb diet wont do this b/c of the carbs. Its okay to drink a gatorade during or after workotu while on a low carb diet though b/c this is one of the cases when it bypasses its normal route and goes into the muscles instead to replenish the glycogen stores.
If you are cutting calories too low too fast, then your energy and strength will go down as well. Better to do it in small intervals.
A lot of people change their routines when dieting b/c they see some strength loss. Try to hold onto the basic compound exercises as long as possible and try to just "maintain" instead of gaining.
I noticed when I dieted the first time my strength went to the toilet, but I made a lot of the mistakes I talked about above. Either way, though, you will always lose some stregnth, but you can probably minimize the damage by doign the above.
good luck with the rest of your diet.
I usually stick to low carb but today was a pigout day so I was totally carbloaded...still...I been sleeping (even for me) poorly the whole week...so maybe that has something to do with it...hopefully next week will be better.

yeah that's what I think because all the other lifts go up, even leg presses
it must be the bio-mechanics

A true getbigger gets stronger has he diets. ;)

thats a really good point debussey
big belly allows for big weight on leg exercise, i remember when i first start trainign i was doing 12 plates a a side on leg press with full reps.... but only because i had a monster belly to bounce my quads/knees off of to get the weight back up.

And when fat, your range of motion on leg presses is drastically shorter.

Yup....that is why I will never be a true getbigger... :(

Depends on genetics. I gained strength on shoulders on my current cut.
-
When i diet i try my hardest just to maintain strength. Yesterday at the gym though my brother kept saying how much weaker he was on shoulder press so maybe it is true. My thoughts are you will notice it more on exercises where you lift heavier weights. So that makes sense why people say shoulders. Now with bench it is easier to cheat and bounce the bar to keep the same weight whereas you can't do that with shoulders.
-
Leg exercises for me mainly.

Part of the problem is heaving those things up to shoulder level in the first place; you know with dumbbell chest presses you start comfortably so it is weird...haven't lost as much there.

Well...in terms of genetics I have everything stacked against me...seems I even have the epic strength loss genetics... :-\
-
what do you db press, deicide?

what do you db press, deicide?
Well before the strength loss...need to calculate into lbs...I could do 72 pounders for 5-6 reps (just one set)...but today I couldn't even get 65lbs above my ear level... :-\

i concur with leg strength loss, even though i started training legs again right when i started dieting..i think its because of the cardio personally, you only use your legs

In my experience, some strength will be lost in the beginning, then it should stay the same or only very slowly decline. On some exercises, strength will even come back some. If you feel like you lose strength too fast, I would up calories a little.

Yeah, I guess if I had your genetics I wouldn't care much about dieting either.

Seriously, with your genetics you wouldn't have to try much. I mean, let's face it, your diet is crap...all you would need to do would be to change it a bit and you get ripped; you are a genetic beast in the prime of your life=should be easy.
-

Here's how to do it: Keep protein the same and reduce total food intake.
If it wasn't as easy as that, I would have never made it. I'm the laziest slacker around.

ive started cleaning up my diet and training more
