Different diets work for different people, especially depending on the amount of insulin resistance a body possesses. Also, most of the bodybuilders I've met actually RECOMMEND doing keto until you get under the 10% barrier, then start stacking up on carbs with a ratio some thing like yours.

Also, how can you do a decent workout on that amount of carbs?

Easily. It may not be as intense when you first start out but once you start carbing up and replenishing your glycogen levels, your workouts are going to own.

Not dissing at all, but if I don't eat a decent carb rich meal + a banana, I surely can't deadlift or squat!

And when I eat carbs, I get sleepy/drousy throughout the day. On Keto I'm fully alert.
