So i've been cutting for a while now, dropped my body fat from 24% to 15%, and planning to go further cutting till i get to around 10%. The thing is, although i've lost 21 pounds during this period, ALL of my lifts are increasing. I've increased in bench by ~25 pounds. Squat by ~30, and the other benchmarks by similar proportional amounts. (yeah i do other exercises, just giving examples ^^).
Anyway, i thought it was normal to lose muscle while cutting. Am i just getting some lucky streaks? My diet is pretty tight, i dont make exceptions, and i work pretty hard w/o overtraining. The gains have been happening consistently over the last few months, and i had bulked for a few months before starting cutting, so i doubt i qualify as new. Is something else happening that i don't understand?
Any ideas would be great, just want to understand what's going on ^^, Thanks everyone!
