loss of strength in two weeks

[HONGOGRIMES]

the subject in question is this: I train with a partner in the gym, we do practically the same, we handle the same weights in general. He went on vacation with his friends, drank alcohol and went out at night but he slept enough, and he did not train for 10 days. Today when we are going to bench press, he and I usually throw 8-10 (2 forced) reps with 225 pounds. today the achievement only 3 and I had to help him to keep the bar. Is it possible to lose so much strength in two weeks or just had a bad day?

Can't judge anything from one workout. Check back in a week.

Well he drank alcohol on his vacation and didn't train for 10 days. How was he expecting to come back stronger?

sure, I would expect a drop in performance, but to do 10 to 3 reps with the same weight seems too much

^^^happy birthday brother!!

..yeah ..shot in the dark here ..but sounds like your friend may have forgotten to take his "vitamins" when he went on vacation?
..maybe he forgot to eat too?

7 reps (+/-) seems like a lot to lose in 10 days ..JMO

I've read articles that state you can lose up to 10% of your strength in as little as 2-3 weeks. Combine that with a bad workout day and that could make sense. You get it back quick.
