what's the least carb intake; for a muscle to still be building?

[novastepp]

Both diets are good...keto and carb use, just depends on the individual. I find it with myself it's easier going keto....crab cycling drives me nuts and leaves me feeling hungry quite often....but both work for me...I normally do keto but this go around I'm doing carb cycling of low to no carbs and eveyr 3rd day carbing up....been working for the past 16 weeks, dropped down to 5% from 11% and have only lost a little over 1 pound of muscle.

yeah, i'll probably be around 13%. i find when i start bulking my strength sky rockets until i reach a certain bodyfat percentage (9-13%). then i keep putting on size in that body fat percentage range. i don't like to go over that, and my body doesn't like me under. i'm probably right over the 10% right now at about 210-215lbs. going up slowly.

i usually only have to cut for 6 weeks and i'm under 8%. so using the keto diet i'm anxious to see how i respond when the time comes.

I hear ya..I usually stay right around 11% off-season comfortably....getting down to 3-4% isn't easy but it's do-able. When you're ready to go keto let me know and I'll def walk ya through it.
