Daily Simple Questions Thread - November 02, 2019

Hey two questions that I'm kinda curious about:

  1. Is it normal to feel like you've began to halt when it comes to strength while cutting? I've been running a strength program for like, 3 months now, and made some solid progress for me (all main lifts went up by at least 60 lbs), but my bench feels like it's too much for me to handle now. Will this change once I begin gaining weight for muscle?

  2. I've met some people that say they "never diet, permanent bulking", basically that they begin lifting while pretty skinny or underweight, and then just constantly slow bulk for over a year or longer, and then gain tons of muscle in the process. If someone were to intentionally lose as much fat as possible while keeping as much muscle as possible, and then do one of these slow bulks, would that be ideal or is that oversimplification when it comes to muscle growth?
