Thanks for reminding me of this thread @Voidmatrix
I have been trying to lose some weight for the last weeks. I've been successful, but that has meant that my normal program has been completely disrupted, as I can feel myself getting slightly weaker. I've also moved and the new gym doesn't have olympic bars, but some kind of shorter, lighter bar that doesn't rotate on the extremes. So that has made it more challenging as well.
After some time, I've been able to get into a new, more gentle (in how fast it advances) routine that so far works well, even though recovery is being hard.

Yesterday:
- Bench press: 5x3+ (last one being AMRAP), 87.5kg
- Squat: 3x10, 95kg (failed the last set)
- Lat pulldown: 3x15+ (last one being AMRAP), 40kg
- Some complementary exercises like hip flexor machine, 3x15+ as well
