You should track progression and performance when lifting

12 reps and 3 sets is the way to go for a good balance between muscle hypertrophy and strength

This is overhyped. You can gain lots of muscle in any rep range, even 3 reps would yield good hypertrophy if volume is high. That said I prefer 5-8 rep sets

I did that shit on the bench, felt pretty good having dyels stare, but now I'm weak I hate how much strength is lost on the bench when losing weight.

Bench takes a nose dive when I cut. Massive correlation with body weight. How much you weight when you hit 3 plates?
