: diminish.,
In my opinion, a lowcarb diet is not as favorable as a regular diet for gaining mass.
One of the effects of AS is to cause muscle cells to uptake more glycogen (glucose).
That is part of the anabolic stimulus which leads to growth.
Without carbs, there is no glucose to do this with.
Lowcarb diets are best used in a cutting phase.
