Slow cutting question

[Eric Larousse]

ok I understand that an intermediate when he goes on a "cut" is supposed to do the same type of program while slowly cutting weight but is just going to have to accept that strength will likely stall or maybe even lose some strength.(<correct?)

So my question is for someone who is an advanced lifter lets say has been using the pyramid model but has decided they have put on a bit to much chub. Would they then do the exact same program(the whole volume accumaltion and intensity phases)but accept that that losing 7-10(if losing say 5%bf)pounds of fat during the program that they would stall/lose some strength.

If I am off base please do enlighten me.

Not really.

Look, if you're underweight (despite body fat percentage) you're not going to be as strong as you otherwise could be. This will make progress be much slower, in general, than it otherwise would be. When a person like this decides to cut- progress slows down even more and if the program sucks- they'll probably lose strength too. Provided there isn't a massive or rapid weight loss, I'd expect strength to remain the same or improve if the programming is good.
