Idk, I work out a lot and have done pretty well on low carb. I would gas if I did, like, a crossfit workout. But my top end power and all day endurance were the same or better, and I had some really cut abs.
For myself, I found there was really no downside. Except no beer and pizza. So not worth it.
Sounds like you are a beginner or intermediate and never did a real bulk before. Once you reach a certain FFMI you can't really build more muscle mass without carbs
I've certainly never done a real bulk before. But I mostly train for strength, not hypertrophy, since my goal is rock climbing, not bodybuilding. So my reps in any of the big lifts have almost never gone over about 5
