    carbs are for losers

    No one who actually works out properly say this, it’s the exact opposite. You need a ton of carbs if you work out

      Idk, I work out a lot and have done pretty well on low carb. I would gas if I did, like, a crossfit workout. But my top end power and all day endurance were the same or better, and I had some really cut abs.

      For myself, I found there was really no downside. Except no beer and pizza. So not worth it.

        Sounds like you are a beginner or intermediate and never did a real bulk before. Once you reach a certain FFMI you can’t really build more muscle mass without carbs
