>want to cut and lose 20lbs >but also want to do weighted

>>42718775
a-are you retarded? losing weight will make chins easier. and why do you care about how much you can hip thrust?

>>42718791
To smash sluts harder I guess

>>42718791
hip thrusts because i read they're good for APT, and they give you glutes for the sloots

still doesn't answer why everyone thinks you can't increase how much you lift while on a cut

>>42718841
its not so much can't but the more calories you eat (within reason) the better your body will deal with the stress of lifting and therefore the faster you will gain strength. people don't bulk because they like being fat

>>42718775
You can make slight progress if you don't cut too hard. But most people prefer to cut hard over a short period of time and just maintain their lifts during that period.

>why is it so discouraged?
It's not discouraged, it just doesn't work
