Lean all year

[JoeKkerr]

Hey guys , back after a long time...i just realized what a stupid thread i started 2 years ago & i apologize for that

I have decided to compete in inter-college comp.

Here are some of my pics, comp. is in dec...i dont do any bulk-cut coz i cant afford that as student, i stay lean all year...no need of any spl diet just 2 indian meals
as an ecto i dont gain any visible fats.....very small guy 55kgs 5'9 (maybe 5'8)

Competeting at a very low level , any tips would be appreciated

you have great genetics but you still skinny you need more muscle at lease 30 pound (15kg ) to compete because on the stage you will look small as **** because of the distance and lighting

Work hard on your legs and back.......it will help with your size. A couple more Indian meals would help.

No they're not. You can gain muscle with a ketogenic diet (very low carb) but try and build muscle with no protein and watch what happens.

why dont you just try to eat zero carb and eat as much as protein you want and lets see how much muscle you will gain?less protein will slower your gains but it will not stop them

I have. I've done a keto diet eating less than 15g of carbs a day. Guess what? I made muscle gains .

Did you forget muscle is protein/amino acids stored in the body? Without protein you will not gain any muscle mass nor will you hold onto what muscle mass you do have. I suggest reading up on nutrition and diet further.

Edit* carbs aren't even an essential macronutrient whereas protein is. You will eventually die without getting protein through your diet. How do you plan on building muscle when you're dead and buried?

When did this become an either/or argument?

You need carbs to power your workout. You need protein to build the muscle in recovery phase.

Without carbs you can't effectively work out, without protein you can't effectively build.

People can work out effectively without carbs all the time. It's called a keto diet.

Training keto blows, done it a few times, especially during prep, its not effective for much but burning fat.
