Nothing unusual! Normal diet as you have now, dont do much energy taxing activities before the match and you will be fine. Avoid any walk or anything of that nature

23 days of Ramadan finished ... 6 or 7 more to go sadly

Sign of the hour... time is flying boys... ;( it's getting closer and closer.

[br4v0]

be sure not to miss night prayers brahs
laylat al qadr could be any of the last 10 nights of ramadan
to those of u who don't know how to, the minimum is 3 rakaat (الشفع و الوتر) not really sure about the name in english
first raka'a is Al-Faatiha and then Al-A'laa
second raka'a is Al-Faatiha and then Al-Kaafiroon then tashahod and salam
third raka'a is Al-Faatiha and then Al Ikhlas then tashahod and salam again
after third raka'a Dua-e Qunut is usually said http://qa.sunnipath.com/issue_view.asp?id=2845

[Reckless187]

Don't usually eat this much but it was made so no pint in wasting it! Past, cheese and grilled chicken breast.

[br4v0]

PHAT by Layne Norton is good but I would highly suggest modifying it to your own needs.

[Jack3dSparrow]

Sup brahs, back after a few days away from the forums! Does anyone have any opinions on what is better for overall health...cardio or weights?

I find when I jog a lot, it detracts from my weight training, and vice versa

a combination of both...although i'd recommend swimming > running or doing any sport and connecting with others through that

[AlphaManlet]

I can't believe it's nearly over . Less than a week left!

I honestly thought this would be a difficult month since the fasts were really long (UK), however, thanks to Allah, it's actually been one of the most easiest ramadan's for me. I just pray that i can continue my prayers after the month is over.

[determined22]

Imagine this happened to you

[ectofitness]

Brahs, I finally found out why I haven't been losing as much weight (may apply to you).

So you know those dates right? The ones with seeds? Apparently, I checked the macros on them today.

Per date is 70 calories and 14g of carbs, and I eat a lot of those for iftari and to snack on before suhoor.

I always thought they were 20 calories, but they're 3.5x more. No wonder. Fuuuuuuuuuukkkkk.


Also, I'm thinking about changing my upper/lower split after Ramadan because I hit chest and shoulders on the same day on upper. Thoughts?

Posted on fb, insh they'll be counted amongst the shahee and their situation improves

Let's stop counting down the days of Ramadan and start making the days count! Insh we can all do this

todays day was going awesome prayed qiyam al lail and came home was really happy but then i feel like i just ruined my whole day...

dowhat the sunnah tells us to do. Go do wudu when u feel urself getting angry, then sit, then lay down if u need to. If this doesn't work, go out for a walk or run... that way ull burn calories and looked like a shredded beast at the same time. Insh thingsll get better. Staying patient w the ones in our family is THE hardest thing, but is also considered the most important.

Today for iftaar I had ALL FRIED FOODS. damn it was so delicious, alham. But I felt like crap all night. Didn't even have protein after my wkout cuz i went out to a friends. Then I went to masjid and left at 430am. Alham another great night. I love the calm connectdness to Allah on these nights. Feels awesome. Insh this closeness continues after Ramadan.

[wrestler271]

its all in your head bro. I prefer to meditate before I workout for an hour and beast on my lifts

hmm meditate?...sounds like a plan, i will admit im taking a week off of lifting for this one week only due to school/ramadan, i break fast at 8:30 yet i have to be in bed by 11:30...so its hard to lift

that is quite a big drop... and very hard to believe. Your lifts should go back up. a 10-20lb drop is more realistic but a drop of 50+ is kinda woah

yeah thats what im saying, i think it has alot to due with me just not being very hydrated, because usually when youre not hydrated your lifts go down a good 10-15%, and it isnt like my pre-workout meal is bad, i usually have 2 scoops of whey mixed with ALOOOOOT of water, and a pretty hefty carb source (waffles/banana/peanut butter all mixed up) and i have this meal about 1 hour before my lifting, so i dunno

HUGE meal!!!!! i can barelly eat anything during iftar i have to force myself to drink my shake...mashAllah good appetite
havent had fuul in ages ...im gonna have it today!lil vinegar tahina...mouth is already watering!!

yeah man i can pack food down, thanks haha, yes fuul is amazing, and the way my mom makes it is AMAZING!!, she does put vinegar, olive oil, diced onions, and a few other things, mmmm, its an amazing source of protein/carbs

[shamilcub]

Well I've somehow put on 300 grams I think, this month. Must be eating at around 9 then going to taraweeh. Then going to sleep, or staying up. Lack of exercise has done it I can't afford to floor myself like I did at the start

I enjoyed this month though

I've been shying away from fried food, though I have had some fruits.
