Is it possible to gain muscle without carbs?

[starskulker]

I'm just curious if it's possible to gain muscle while on a very low carb diet. Like under 40 grams of carbs a day.

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.

Not very likely though.

Tren is your friend LOL. Not if you're a newbie though

Not very likely though.

don't shoot down all his hopes and dreams

I've gained on a cutt before.

Very difficult to train well without carbs. There is really no point in low carbing if you weight train. You burn fat in the fire of carbs.

go low carb 2 days and carb up the third..or just keep them moderate

low-no carbs? maybe you could maintain muscle with use of steroids, but I have a hard time beliving you could gain very much.

What if you were to carb pre workout and carb post workout and that was it?

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
