    20 lbs is a lot. Are you sure all the conditions were the same between each test? How much weight did you lose? In my experience bench is the lift most affected by weight loss.

      Lost 10lbs body weight and my 5 rep max dropped 20 lbs on bench. Strangely my OHP went up but still every day I go bench I can do a rep less

    I lost 10lbs over last 2 months or so, my bench only fell from 325 to 315. 20lb drop seems like too much, have you been eating higher protein during the cut? Are you getting your carbs in before the workouts?
