Can you detail on this and what type of training you do? Also what type of gains you experienced?

Sure you can do full keto and weight train but I am interested in the gains versus low carb / medium carb diets.

As for me, I'm on a low carb diet mostly, although I do enjoy some days of high carb as well.

I’ve recently restarted weight training after a few years off due to injury.

I already do plenty of other exercise (martial arts, swimming, yoga, a decent amount of fast paced walking, circuit training) and I used to weight train so my form’s okay and I haven’t experienced anything unusual in terms of soreness.

I’ve been from light weights (~70% of my previous max) slowly up to my previous max from a few years back and not experienced any problems. I feel like I’m close to the limit on each exercise but I’m already at my previous max weights.

And... since I used to do this, I’ve gone keto. So being on keto doesn’t seem to have any observable negative effect on my weight training.

I can’t say what I’m going to hit because I’m moving slowly and carefully. For some real stats you’ll need to find studies. I could just be lucky.
