Alot harder because your goal is to gain weight when bulking. Therefore calories in is much greater than calories out (hence weight gain). Carbs and fat are also higher proportions for bulking and those are what you would limit during a cut.
If you're losing weight while 'bulking' then technically you're 'bulk' diet would be a cutting diet, would it not? (Rhetorical
)
Dropping
fat while bulking is difficult (which is what I think you meant to ask) but can be done. IMO dropping fat while trying to gain muscle is not efficient. Essentially you could have a bulking cycle followed by a cut cycle and be further ahead in terms of lean mass as opposed to trying to do a clean bulk.
To sum it all up:
A bulking ratio is used for bulking, if you're dropping weight then you fucked up your diet
ps. Those ratios are not set in stone, they're merely guidelines to help set up your diet.
