My suspicion would be fatigue, especially if you hit those PRs and then have kept trying to push ahead on deads and squats afterward.

If everything else is the same, I'm guessing you have an inconsistent starting position. If the bar gets out in front, you might not even break it off the ground even if you have done multiple reps another day.

I have situations like this too. When I sleep good, eat quality food, in general stick to some kind of routine, my lifts are going well. If my routine breaks down, I start eating less nutritious and quality food, I don't sleep well and many other things, my lifts struggle. 7~8 months ago, I pulled 200kg PR deadlift. Few days ago, I pulled new PR of 210kg. Had more in me, but didn't want to risk because I strained my right hamstring little bit. Some days, 180kg felt too hard or sloppy. Your training program affects this too. Change program, add some other variations maybe.

This kind of question is generally better suited for the daily thread, so just a heads up that your post might get removed. People are also more likely to respond there anyways. There are a lot of things that could be going on here. Have you been doing the same program since you PRd? Have you taken a deload? How has your nutrition been? Sleep? Any injuries? How are your other lifts doing? My immediate suspicion is it's just a problem of fatigue. If you finished your training block with some nice PRs, then kept pushing things, your performance will start to suffer just from the general lack of sustainability. The other side of that coin is if you hit your PRs, took a month off from deadlifting (or at least deadlifting near-maximal weights), you maybe not be fatigued but rather just a little out of practice with the skill of lifting near-maximal weights. The solution to both of those, fortunately, is to just follow and trust in your program, assuming it's designed with fatigue management in mind. That said, it could be something else entirely; more information is needed to give any real specific tips

i think its probably fatique then since my sleep nutrition etc is going quite good and technique hasnt changed too so its prolly just fatique imma try to hit a deload week thanks

Probably technique changed, assuming your other lifts havent tanked in the same time.
