Answer 1

Biologically, your body can only produces muscle when it has a calorie surplus. Bulking doesn’t just make gaining muscle easier, it’s for all intents and purposes scientifically not possible to gain muscle without some fat/bulk. Depending on how lazy you are though, you can keep the bulk minimal, but not 0.
