Lifting with no spotter?
I want to get back to free weight heavy lifting BUT I will not have a spotter like I have in the past (usually a friend and I would lift together). Would it be that bad to use a smith machine for bench presses, that is what I find the biggest issue when lifting alone

Heavy Lifting and Calorie Deficit ?
I have been reading in some posts people saying to build muscle/tone that you need to lift heavy and maintain a calorie deficit. Do people who are lifting and at goal weight still maintain a calorie deficit? I just started Stronglifts 5x5 and am at goal weight, so focus now is to tone and build muscle
