What would be the results of doing the Colorado Experiment on a water fast?

Found picrel experiment where Casey Viator gained 63lbs of muscle in 28 days. Most likely juiced but still insane.

I'm 5'10 185lbs 19% BF, what would be the results if I did a similar program for a week or two, where I would train maximally to failure and no breaks between sets while water fasting? Would I lose significantly more weight? Would I die from overexertion and not grow at all due to lack of proper nutrition?

I'll do it anyways because I'm highly interested in how my body will react.

    >gained 2 lns of muscle every day
    that's probably fake. the only way you could to that is if you were really buff then stopped lifting to lose muscle and then started lifting again with grams of roids that hold a lot of water

    Your ability generate intensity would be hindered by lack of food and you wouldn't put up the numbers you need to grow any muscle. You would just maintain what you have and lose fat. It would hurt very much. You may as well just use maintenance volume and sets to near failure while starving your fat away.

      Do you not notice a difference between your before pic and his? This is gonna sound crazy but you might not be ready for this program, much less this program + starvation.

        Of course, I'm not claiming to be a high level body builder or anything. I'm just fascinated with the potential results of high intensity programs after hearing people like Mike Mentzer and Dorian Yates.

          Okay. Start with Jim Wendlers 531. It's HIT lite. Then instead of adding volume like everyone else when you hit intermediate you can look into making the working set more intense. And fricking eat.

            531 isn't hit or even remotely close to it. Hit uses slower tempos, lots of isolation movements, and high reps when needed. 531 ones is bare bones powerlifting program that intentionally stays far from failure
            I'm not a HIT believer but 531 is way worse

              It progresses you every week with two warmups and set to failure. It is HIT lite. You have no idea what you're talking about.

      You're gonna find a lot of explanations as to why huge guys are huge. It's a lot more fun pretending that Yates got so big because of his myserious original Yates rows, and not because of digusting amounts of steroids.

        Obviously he wouldn't he 35ffmi without steroids but if you think steroids will take you that far without hard lifting too then you're coping out of your mind.

    Anon the only shortcut to getting results is steroids. What you're suggesting is even dumber than doing steroids, no offense.

    From what I've seen most benefits of fasting plateau after five days. Try five days water fast, 2 days keto.

    You will lose muscle. Muscle basically breaks down when you work out and get rebuilt bigger and stronger with adequate protein intake. If you don't eat any protein the muscles won't grow back properly, so they will be lost as nitrogen in the urine. Extreme working out can cause muscle to break down so much that the proteins clog the kidneys and cause kidney failure. It's called rhabdomyolysis.

    That's not 63 lbs of muscle, that's maybe 3 lbs of lean tissue and the rest is fat / water retention / weight in the gut similar to weight cutting/retaining cycles used by fighters

    These photos look like they were taken on the same day after the dude got a pump and they changed the lighting. Where is the muscle gain?

    Why the frick would you water fast you idiot? You're not going to gain fricking anything. Not a single Nautilus bulletin or HIT practitioner would tell you to FAST while trying to BUILD a body. Goddamn ketolards ruined fitness.
