My boy lightman told me its more of a lat movement so work ur lats more

You shouldn't be on a deficit when you bench 180lbs

Irrelevant. If you have value to contribute that would be nice though because you're experienced.

Although I was benching 205-210ish before my cut but I was weighing 190+lbs at the time.

what do you weigh now?

80 lbs

165ish

What are you maintenance calories at? Are you in a surplus now?

For the past about 5-6 weeks I've just been increasing calories 100 per week. Wanted to reverse diet very slowly. I'm at about 2500 now which should almost if not already is maintainence

So the last 6 weeks you have still been in a deficit

Imo it's all mental

Possibly it, also im thinking it was my grip. Last few weeks for some reason my grip was narrower and it seemed heavier
