Here's the weird thing: some nights I have pressure in my chest. Last night I had it. Then next thing I know, I check the health app in my phone and it reports me that my heart rate dropped under 45 bpm for 10 minutes at 7:22 (went as low as 41 bpm). So I have bradicardia as well. Do you have your heart rate monitored during sleep, for comparison? Mine usually stays at 52-57.

I'm going to see a cardiologist in a few hours, just to be sure.

Comments:

Strong in the squat with 115x5 old age , although I'm taking pain medicine which makes you weak, a little. Bench press was difficult but the squat took a lot out of me and the bar might've been a heavier, 25 kg bar (looked thicker and heavier).

I'm doing leg extensions because they train the fully extended portion vs the squat where the flexed portion is emphasized in the quads and I think this helps. It's similar to deadlifts vs hip thrusts: the former helps with the stretched position of the glute, the latter with the squeezed position.

I told you its unimpressive. My sleeping HR is always monitored yes, it seems that it drops down to around my resting HR , +-2 , this period that is around 50.
As for the magnetic weakness feelings, maybe if all other tests fail, check to see if they are some kind of psychosomatic reactions?
Given the chance , i always wanted to say this: 'psycho' and all its derivatives is one of the most misunderstood words. In English it makes you think of American psycho , psychotic episodes etc, but the word is actually Greek and it literally means "soul", primarily in a warm spitrtual way. And of course also used in clinical Psychiatry ( which is also Greek ,  psycho-soul + iatriki-medicine , soul-medicine literally ). Some justice has been just served.

Very weak in the bench press. Pretty good in the high bar squat, although it's very exhausting. Added some chest machine to supplement chest work. Also, at this point my leg curls are better than my leg extensions.

Comments:

Same sucky 3 reps with 70 kg in the bench press, although with a narrower grip it seems noticeably easier. So I think the grip width is important in my case. I did the next two sets with a narrower grip and it was easier. I could've done 10 reps on my second set of squats but I decided not to.

When I was flat BB benching regularly, I also found it most comfortable/stronger to bench with a pretty narrow grip (close to hat I often see PLers doing when they do close grip bench). Never really got the hang of wider grip benching. If I try to hit a big bench PR in future, maybe I'll play around with a wider grip just to see if I can make it work.

I also have very long arms so even a slightly wider grip is much harder.
