Since I've been taking Hydroxycut Hardcore and doing about an hour and a half of cardio after my lifting, I've noticed a LOT of fat loss. In fact, I'm very close to my ideal right now for body fat. With the possibile exception of my chest, it doesn't seem like I've lost any muscle mass. Since I gain pec muscle fastest compared to anywhere else on my body, whatever I may have lost there -- and I may be imagining things -- isn't really a concern.


What I have noticed though is that I've lost a bit of bench strength. For each weight, I seem to reach failure at 1-2 less reps than before I started this hyper-cutting.


Any idea why I'd be losing bench strength without losing mass? Is this just natural with fat loss?
