Would i get fat if i train heavy on bench press?

[wake_up]

Hello all: I am 32 yrs old, 6'1" 175, and i have a goal-weight of 165. I am on a weight loss diet, high in fruits and vegetables, moderate in starches, moderate in protein and low in fat:

My diet is like this:

Breakfast: 1 cup of 1% milk

Lunch: 1 cup of boiled rice
8 oz of baked-chicken
green vegetables made of brussel sprouts, cabbage, brocoli and just a bit of shredded carrots (all cooked)

Dinner: A cream of wheat cooked with the following ingredients:

4 heaping tablespoons of cream of wheat
1 cup of 1% milk
2 cups of water
1 teaspoon of salt
4 packets of Nutrasweet
2-3 apples


My exercise routine is like this:

Weight training: Monday and Thursday:

Bench press: 15-8-4-4
Incline press: 8-8-8-8
Pulley back: 15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15
Shoulder Military Press: 10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10
Walk: 45 minutes (6 days a week)


I would like to know if i should lift lighter in bench press or would i get fat and prevent any weight loss by doing heavy lifting in my bench press?

Thanx

Lifiting weight doesnt make you fat...maybe you worded your question wrong or you arent quite sure on how things work? Food makes you fat, lifting weights burn cals and breaks muscle down, and protein helps repair and build muscle...The only way you get fat is from your diet.

Hello, how are you? Thanx for lifting a weight off my shoulder. I mean i was real worried, that if i keep on training heavy on my bench-presses i would get too bulky, too hungry and thus i would not only gain muscle size but also fat. But i guess you are right, what i have to do is to keep controlling my food portions and my calorie intake

Exactly... Its really 90% diet and 10% training. Some may argue 80/20, but you get the idea. Your body cant do anything withought the right fuel and tools to build. You control your diet and train for your goals and youll be able to get to where you want to be.

Putting on muscle mass in a caloric defecit doesn't work

Always go heavy..its not about doing more sets its about getting more bang for your buck - the heavier you lift the more muscle retention you will have, at least IMO.

eat clean, lift hard, and rest = low bf%

So body-builders train low rep and heavy even when they are on a pre-contest stage? So why do fat people and people who are trying to lose weight do high repetition routines in the gyms?
