Saw no improvement on my bench from the re-comp phase, but I was pretty tired going into the test so I'm just going to try again at a later date. For now my number changes are:
Squat: 285 @196 lbs. body weight to 295 @183 lbs. body weight 3.4% increase
Bench Press: 230 @196 lbs. body weight to 230 @183 lbs. body weight 0% increase
Deadlift: 385 @196 lbs. body weight to 405 @183 lbs. body weight 5% increase
Total: 910-930 2.2% increase
changes were following a 20 week cut and a 6 week re-comp. I lost a total of 13 lbs. and increased overall strength by 2.2%
This proves to me that it IS possible to lose weight and gain strength, as long as it is meticulously controlled in phases.

Yes, it IS possible. Keep up the great work! You are going great in the gains. You are my inspiration to get my squat form back and start doing the same!

Nice work, brother. Terrific progress. You basically went down a weight class and increased strength. Plus, at 183 you've got to be looking and feeling a lot better.

My oldest daughter is a squat and DL freak too. Last time I talked with her she is 225 on squat and 275 on DL. Too bad she lives a couple of States away.

Where were you missing the bench? Lockout? I've found when weight is lost it really effects the Tricep's. Nice lifts!!!!!

It definitely seemed to be lockout. I'm at a powerlifting-specific gym now, so I will be utilizing chains, bands, specialty bars and machines, etc. too keep at it.
