Part of the reason for that is the carb up. Sometimes when you are on keto your body reacts badly to the carb up and actually bogs you down more than it provides energy.
However, the other possibility is that you really just needed a break from chest this week, or even a break from lifting heavy in general. You also may have not rested adequately, or even taken in too many carbs or not enough carbs...there are a lot of variables. The body is a very unique thing that has a mind of it's own and sometimes lets us know something is wrong through things such as your feeling of weakness.
There are THREE things I need to know first.
1. Exact time you trained both last week and this week
2. Exact foods you ate both last week and this week.
3. How long have you been on keto, TOTAL?
O lord ok.
I train at 2 o'clock every day
All my meals are the same
Breakfast :
4 eggs 3 slices of bacon
6-8 oz of ground beef with cheese and sometimes 2 slices of bacon
Chicken salad w/ olive oil
Protein shake with 2 tbs of heavy whipping cream or 2 oz of cheese (Been out of whipping cream)
Tuna w/ 2 tbs of mayo and 1 oz of cheese
Usually eat that exactly. Sometimes eat something twice instead of something else.
I was on keto for 6 weeks before. Took a week off. Changed my mind. Been back on keto for a week now. Today marks exactly the 7th day
My carb day
1 bowl of some whole grain cereal (a big one) and 2 girlscout cookies (lol)
12" subway sub. Meetball
WORKOUT
Protein Shake
Oatmeal packets x2 + a piece of pizza
Yeah, I kinda use my carb days as cheat days a little lol
but yeah. It gets me through the week haha.
