Keto for Strongman

 

Strongman competitors need to get huge. Otherwise, they will have a hard time moving big objects successfully and be at a disadvantage to the competition. Therefore it doesn't help to cut out an entire type of macros. Generally dieting for strongman is more about getting bigger and Cramming more calories in, rather than less.

Keto for Crossfit

 

The keto diet in its raw form might not be the best pairing with Crossfit. If you wanted to try it out, go for a high protein variation of the keto diet so that you still maintain enough protein in your diet. Speak to your dietitian as you might also want to carb load before a long-distance endurance event.
