I now only shoulder press half of that and even then am struggling some: progress is VERY slow if at all.

Im not into to lifting my ego (ie I wont handle any weight that I cant control and keep strict form with) but just felt that with a heavier weight I was actaully getting some growth.... maybe its just psycological.

Any adjustments, extra excercises or suggestions would be appreciated. I was thinking about alternating the order of chest and shoulders each week: chest first one week then shoulders first the next ?????
If you've lost half of your strength on shoulder press, something is VERY wrong.

I'm a little confused as in your first post you said you're gaining strength and losing fat, and in this post you're saying you've lost half your strength in 6 months.

Have you any idea why you've lost that much strength (coming off AAS, poor diet etc)?
