(Not suprisingly) I agree with you... but you might be interested to know that my strength has been going up.
I think you know what I'm doing... 2 weeks low cal. 2 week higher cal. all low carb (like 10-35 grams/day) I'm 10 days into the higher cal. phase and my strength is great. I am suprised... This is the first time I've done the higher cal. phase with low carbs., but I'm happy with it so far. I don't notice any decrease in strength, I get a great pump, and my muscles seem filled out.
This is my personal experiment... I'll wait a couple months before I recommend it to others, but so far, so good.
Some possible factors allowing me to maintain (or gain strength):
I keep reps low (8 ish)
I rest a minute or 2 between sets
I take creatine (but this is not new... I've been taking it for about a year)
I've been LCing long enough for my body to adapt to it.
I'm eating slightly more calories than I'm burning. (This might allow my body to convert the excess to glycogen)

I will keep you informed on my progress... if in a couple months my overall compostition has improved.... I tell you... then write my own book and sell it

hmmmm..... what should I call it?? <slips into deep thought>
