Why am I Weaker

[jsr2188]

I take creatine every day and eat healthy, I got sick last week though and wasn't taking creatine for about 4 days and was eating one small meal a day if that for about 6 days. I just got through with my chest workout, my last chest day was 8 days ago because i was sick. i wasn't getting as much reps up as i was last chest day and it's pissing me off. so what do you guys think, is it because i wasn't taking the creatine for 4 days or because i wasn't eating right or what? or do some days do you just have shitty workouts?

It's because you were sick and not eating!! Your body has lost some strength due to fighting an illness and lack of nutrients.

Bro,

U were sick. takes time to get back on track. also plateaus and setbacks are normal. Nothing to overthink. train, eat, rest, then repeat.
