I'm dieting down, with low carbs, hight protein, the whole shebang..But, I haven't started my cutting cycle yet, and won't for a couple of weeks. I'm lifting the same weights (and in some cases more) but my reps have dropped significantly on some exercises. I think it's the low carbs (I've dropped @25 lbs allready, and looking for another 20 or so). Should I lower the amount of weight I lift to pull my reps up or should I just maintain what I'm doing now untill I juice again and get a little strength back? Here's a perfect example of what I'm talking about- when I started dieting I was benching 305 lbs (I know it's not much but I'm working on it) for 8-9 reps and looking to go to 315 lbs, but now I'm 4 weeks into my diet and am now benching that 305 for 4-5 reps. See what I mean? What do you guys do when dieting?
I'd hate to have to go lighter.
