I wrote here regarding ketogenic diet and weight lifting about 2-3 months ago. Some people said that is impossibile getting improvements (gain muscles or strength) while on keto, because you need carbs bla bla bla...
Yestarday I trained Crossfit in the afternoon around 5 pm while being fasting from day before, so around 24. I didn't have any troubles. I made a 1 max weight squat and Cindy crossfit workout. Currently I'm doing 2-3 times per week powerlifting and 1 time crossfit.
I started lifting on Novembre 17. I came after a leg muscle injury so my squat was about 50 kg, deadlift 70kg. My weight was 77 kg for 1,85 meters height, so I was in a bad physical form, skinny.
While being on full super strict keto (no carbs, sugars, or sweeteners) moderate protein + bunch of fats + vegetables and 1 small portion of fruit per day.
Today my weight is 90 kg. So + 12 kgs in 4 moths. My max rep today are: squat 110 kg tried yesterday , deadlift ( calculated around 150-160kg), bench press (calculated 80-90 kg).
People in the gym said the same thing, was impossible to train while on keto diet. My PL coach is happy about improvements.
Anyone here is in my same situation? I'm curious about, since I never tried before this diet with weight lifting. But seems in this short period of time it worked well.
