Huge Gain After Ramadan and Tips on how to make big gains

chroncile · 10-01-2009, 07:18 PM

I guess muscle memory was true since after Ramadan, the first time I went to the gym my muscles stayed sore until the 5th day. My chest grew like crazy and my forearms as well.

I had gotten really skinny in Ramadan and I wasn't sure if I was going to put it all back. Not only did I end up putting every single pound back, but I actually added more!

Anyway, here are some tips that I made:

- Drink Green Tea at least 30 minutes before your workout to increase your metabolism
- Do at least 5 minutes of HIIT to get your blood running, but don't do more than 10 minutes because you'll drain the energy for your muscles
- Exercise every body part you can
- Lift as heavy as you possibly can so that you can only do less than 12 reps
- Don't cheat, don't shake; just keep your body nice and natural
- Each rep should last 5 seconds to ensure constant load
- Lift to failure (lift until you simply can't anymore)
- Man up; forget about the pain, just push and think about how huge you're going to get (motivational)
- Eat enormous amounts of protein and try to vary your proteins sources so that it's not all coming from chicken or fish, for example.

i did the exact opposite

higher reps and low weight

also did full body workout

I respect you guys for sticking with your culture rather than giving it up for BBing. shows that we still have people that have morals on earth.

Ramadan is a month were muslims fast from sunrise to sunset, about 12 hours, in the other 12 hours you can eat whatever you want. but you are like in the whole day time, without food, so, people tend to lose weight. since they probably eat only 1 meal after sunset, and maybe 1 before sunrise.
