[QUOTE="madman, post: 127974, member: 13851"] You will never gain serious muscle mass on 20 grams carbs/day even in a calorie surplus.....sure you can still gain some muscle but do not expect to pack it on! Do understand that when one first goes low carb most of the immediate weght loss is water weight and some of that water will be intra-cellular water from the muscle cells as muscle stores carbs in the form of glycogen will results in fuller, harder muscles.....hence why most will feel flat (and tend to need to increase sodium to experience a pump) when following low carb. Almost everyone I see that follows low carb that trains with weights might have that lean solid physique but muscularly they are small and have no size let alone their muscles look flat.....muscles topped up with glycogen will always be bigger/fuller as a muscle cell is roughly 70% water/30% protein. When one speaks of lean mass it is not only ther protein content actin/myosin but it is also the hydration of the muscle including glycogen stores as for every gram of glycogen stored by the muscle it pulls in roughly 3 grams of water( intra-cellular).
