Lifting Heavy while dieting?

[apex]

I'm about to start dieting after my current bulk cycle. Next week is when I start to diet. Should I continue to lift big while dieting? Or at least untill my natural test comes back? I was going to keep lifting heavy and add cardio into my workout. Any suggestions would be appriciated!

I always do, but then again I really don't "diet" per se. I just know (give or take 750) how many calories I consume per day, and just try to jack that around to gain or lose weight. Now, on any given day, my cals might come from a pizza, cheeseburger, and some smaller, healthier meals mixed in. All that to get to this: I never lift light, and I do just fine.

I with horned, I never lift light. To maintain I keep the weight up. the only think I might do is decress the number of sets or reps but, never the weight.

Do not increase reps and don't decrease weight (with the cavet your not like 4 weeks out from comp)

When dieting for a comp.....i stick with the same weights for most of the diet but closer to the contest i decrease the poundages by maybe 10%. Also dieting is a time i stop forced reps.
