cycle on ketogenic diet a waste?

[grazziani]

do you guys think i will not get muscle gains in a cycle ( var - test p ) with a ketogenic diet?
low carb diet will let my muscle grow with just protein and fat?
my goal is to get shred and shape ,
please let me know your opinions and recomendations.
thank you

you could get away with it with that cycle. i'm not a keto fan though because of the rebound effect after. most of us are not in season/out of season guys, we want to look good year round.

Keto can work well to shed fat. Its not my personal preference, because my performance gets affected too much by low carb dieting but it will work for your goal

Agreed. I've only ran it one time and ran for about 2-3 months. The fat fell off nicely but damn my performance and size really took a toll.

This is one of the biggest "broscience" myths out there, that you can't grow with the anabolic diet. The truth is, you'll grow a lot more with the anabolic diet, while you gain mass you'll also be shedding bodyfat like you've never seen. A bodyopus/anabolic version of the CKD is considered the most powerful bulker you can run during a cycle bar-none.

It is exactly what I would use if my goals were pure bodybuilding. However low carb amd cdk diets are terrible gor endurance training.

Low carb diets work very well for cutting. The added diuretic affect makes the dieting seem even more dramatic. Your muscles will still fill out even being in a calorie depleted state.

Even just gaining muscle and not losing any fat will make your body fat % go down.
