ANECDOTE

Seven-Day Fast And 500-lb Deadlift

  • Dominic D'Agostino deadlifted 500 pounds for ten reps after a seven-day fast.
  • He reported feeling resilient despite dips in energy on days five and seven.
INSIGHT

Ketogenic Diet Preserves Strength

  • In advanced lifters a two-week ketogenic diet maintained or increased strength and hypertrophy.
  • The ketogenic group lost proportionally more fat while gaining similar lean mass.
ADVICE

Use Higher Protein For Growth

  • Use a modified ketogenic approach with ~25% protein and adequate calories for muscle growth.
  • If you need to preserve or gain muscle, prioritize protein and avoid inadvertent calorie restriction.
