S SgtSlaughter New member Jan 10, 2007 #2 Sure, it's possible. Depends on your training history and how well you know your body. I think it'd be easier to gain on a carb rotation rather than restriction though.

mikefear New member Jan 10, 2007 #7 go low carb 2 days and carb up the third..or just keep them moderate
mr.nitro Banned Jan 10, 2007 #8 low-no carbs? maybe you could maintain muscle with use of steroids, but I have a hard time beliving you could gain very much.

O OMEGA New member Jan 10, 2007 #10 NO one needs to fill muscles with Glycogen not to mention the brain need it to function at 100% while it is possible to survive on a "Ketogenic Diet" its only "surviving" as far asd I am concerned
