Is it Ok to do Max-OT style on keto?

I'm just wondering if it is ok to do Max-OT style of training while on Keto? or should tweak it a little bit? (workout - 4 days a week)

I'm also doing kickboxing 4x a week.

Alot of guys use Max-OT on keto. I did, and found it to be perfectly suited for such a diet. Well, a CKD/TKD diet, not a pure Atkins-style keto that is. The only thing I tweaked in Max-OT was to add some cardio after some of my workouts. I got great results-lost about 23 lbs. with minimal muscle loss.

Doing Max-OT while on keto is fine.

Yeah but don't you want to workout your whole body by the end of tuesday to get into ketosis quicker?

Sure.

Each workout should last approximately 30 to 40 minutes.
Train only 1 or 2 muscle groups per workout/day.
Do 6 to 9 total heavy sets per muscle group.
Do 4 to 6 reps per set.
Rest 2 to 3 minutes between sets.
Train each muscle group once every 5 to 7 days.
Take a 1 week break from training every 8 to 10 weeks.

Thanks...

I love Max-OT and will follow your advise and throw in some cardio to my workouts. btw, How did you split your workouts? Is a 5-day workout still OK?

A five day split is good.

Perfect!

Have another question...

Can I add dextrose to my protein after cardio training? I usually do intense cario 4x (20-min) a week at night while max-OT training in the afternoon... So it means I have to take 2 post workout drink with dextrose. or is 2 (30g dextrose) way too much?

well.......thats about exactly what I do now...LOL...but I dont rest 3 minuts between sets. I rest about 1 minute each set.
