So, ramadan is coming up.
How do I best keep my gains during the blessed month?
I've heard good things about intermittent fasting, would that be best?
Also cant drink water when the sun is up. So I wonder if the workouts should be scheduled after sunset because working out while dehydrated will be tough
>>41238658
You can stop believing in a backwards ass Iron Age philosophy and join the rest of the educated world in the 21st century
>>41238658
i could never worship a god that tells me i have to sacrifice my gains or else i go to hell
Stop speaking our blessed language you dirty sandman, back from the Arabian deserts from which you came and take your filthy tribal faith with you. My ancestors died fighting your people and I will do the same, but instead of steel this time it will be lead
In all serious, if you believe in that shit, why make gains now, instead of just fully investing in prayer and hopefully ya boi Allah will hook you up with some holy roids up in heaven and some viagra for those virgins, if ya get what i mean my boi
You could stop be a heathen piece of a shit?

Here OP, let me help you out and tell you what you already knew.
Drink lots of water after sunset, and work out afterwards. The gym will be crowded but that's your problem. Make sure to eat a lot during the nighttime to compensate for the lost calories. That is all. Muwaffaq.
And don't post about Ramadan on 4chan unless you want your thread to be derailed you retarded fucking shitstain.

OP, just do 16/8 IF, eat your days worth of calories in the eight hour span at night after the sun sets and try working out before you eat, so you can eat during the anabolic window. Sleep right after to get those sweet gains.
Don't listen to these fucking pathetic losers, we're all gonna make it.

InshaAllah you will not lose your blessed gains brother. Just drink good amount of water before the morning pray begin.

So wait.
The idiots who made these arbitrary rules back then didn't even know about time zones, or that there are places up North where it is dawn or dusk for 24 hours straight.
Now you had to make new rules to compensate for the ignorance of your "prophets" back then.
Don't religious people realize how much shit they've had to retcon to make their bullshit align with what should be common sense?

Orthodox Christian here. Great Lent is a stricter fast foodwise than Ramadan but I also get to drink water whenever I want. That into account, here's the general game plan:
>you're essentially doing an aggressive cut. at best a slow cut if you can eat and sleep and pray all within the sunrise-sunset window. keep this in the front of your mind when reading any diet advice.
>you're going to lose a fuckload of weight. some of this will be muscle. most of it will be water (in the beginning) and fat (in the end), as long as you keep lifting.
>shitty workout is better than no workout, so make sure to lift unless you're seriously ill. also helps slow muscle loss
>don't worry about losing gains, your tendons/fascia are stretched out to your previous muscular amount, so you should hit your normal numbers at most 2 weeks after ramadan, if not sooner.
>don't forget to eat your protons or allah will smite your gains
>if you've got a total of one meal to work with (like i did), (eat then lift) will make you perform better in the gym but (lift then eat) will make you feel better psychologically.
>if you can eat more than once (lifting at night) best would probably be small meal -> lift -> large meal with fast carbs in the pre-workout meal.
w.r.t. water I can't offer any firsthand advice, but I'd imagine you want to avoid any diuretics like coffee/salt.

>>41238658
Yeah, its not that different from any other month. Just possibly shift your workout eating times around.

Im a former muslim and am probably more antimuslim than half the guys in this thread. OP it's all just a bunch of bullshit, do what you want. If you're really serious just shift your sleep cycle so that you sleep in the day and wake up at night so that you'll circumvent the restriction. But then you have to wonder why god would allow such an easy loophole.

Akhi I come from a Muslim family as well. Are you fasting because you believe in Islam or from family/friends pressuring you?
I am (was) a skinny fuck and have been bulking for over a year so fasting is out of the picture for me. Last Ramadan I pretty much ate at will and my parents pretty didn't really seem to be bothered. I assume you're grown enough to make your own decisions. Either way good luck

Brother, as a Muslim to a Muslim, let me tell you this, during the Ramadan you should really lower the /fit/ part, and focus more on fasting and praying. You can't really balance them, during our fast we can't eat or drink anything during the whole day, and like this you can't go to the gym to end up with not needed injuries.
Stay safe during fasting and put God first, then the rest at least for this holy month.
>>41245712
Strong disagree. You can lift on a fast. Some magic people even make gains off of it, let alone minimize their losses. There's tons of guides specifically built around Ramadan and I've done it a bunch of times for Great Lent.
>>41246190
>point of fasting is to put aside the physical for your faith
>but I don't want God to get in the way of my body
What's the fucking point then? Why even bother if you're just going to try to loophole around the entire concept of fasting in the first place?
>>41245561

>all these stinky pajeets being racist
POO IN LOO!
>>41246247
The point of fasting isn't just to eat less. That's just an aggressive form of cutting. The point of fasting is to force yourself away from base desires like eating because it makes you feel good, or just living your day-to-day life. You build character through the discipline of keeping to the fast.
You're much more mindful because instead of shoving your face full of food or living your life seeking your next dopamine hit (fapping, fucking, browsing memes, etc.) you take all that time and use it to meditate and focus on your own spirit and God. In Christianity, the priest reads the Gospels and the Epistles to give examples of Jesus's trials and tribulations and moral righteousness, respectively. In Islam, the imam reads the whole Quran cover to cover over the course of the month. That's not a coincidence. The whole point of the asceticism is to bring yourself closer, primarily to God, but also to the best version of yourself.
In that frame, lifting is probably one of the best things you could do when you're not praying or repenting your sins. You're increasing the pain on yourself, moreso because you're not eating during the process, in an effort to (during the fast) maintain your health and (generally speaking) improve yourself. Through self-discipline come your gains. You might even say God's giving you your body, not fighting it for your attention.
