I do similar exercise and when I started keto 8 months ago I had a dip in performance for about 3 weeks.

I do a similar set of exercises on the same day/time every week and it ends with 30 seconds of burpees.

Prior to going on keto I was doing 16 burpees in that 30 seconds. After the first week I was down to twelve. After a couple more weeks I was back to 16 - and two weeks after that I was on 17. I’m now on 18.

I’ve gone from 103kg to 88kg in that time, so it seems likely the weight loss has been a (or the) factor in the improved performance.
