Arm strength is suddenly going down as well as right arm giving out before the other. (self.fitness)

So recently on bench, military press, and bar curls I decided to make my push for higher weight. Bench was ending at 1 rep of 445, military press was ending at 2 of 198, bar curls were ending at 6 of 165, but now they're slowly declining.

For my arm, it only gives in the middle of bench as to where my left is completely fine even though my right is my dominant.

Is there a way to possibly fix this? I've had something happen like this before but it sort of fixed itself over time.

I am not medically trained in any way, but I would say sudden noticeable losses in strength and endurance in one arm is a good enough reason to make a doctors appointment. So many issues are easier to deal with when caught early, take care of yourself!

Are you doing mesocycles? Try giving your body rest for a couple of weeks, drop with weight or reps and see how it feels, then go back to crushing it.
