haha, if near puasa this thread is a must.
i recommend we follow mazhab Kmaru....haha

Chow

there's one guy claimed he gain lean mass while fasting, later if found i post here.

until now we stuck wif mazhab Kmaru...hahaha

Chow

easier said than done bro. for ppl who want to cut, there's no problem.
we have only few hours to eat, solat terawih, train, sex and sleep, ALL in the night time.


lets say breakfast at 7PM.

train at 8PM? tk semayang boleh la...hahaha

you binge a lot on breakfast, you can hardly train.


let talk about meal.

1) breakfast (also pre-wo)
2) post workout
3) maybe can stuff one more meal before bed time
4) sahur

got 4 meal max, and without 8 hours sleep

Chow

ill definitely lose more muscle mass & fat mass like previous years....Raya kecut je....

Chow

hahah susah la....fasting month i drop to lik 6-7% with no water...dah macam skeleton~


Chow

this was posted in my sales thread, i moved it here also.

from my experiences during last fasting months, impossible to bulk during this period. well if u do know how, share here
the idea of high calories gainer and sustained released protein is to provide body enough calories and steady flow of amino acids throughout the day.
Of course cant last the whole day since we're fasting but at least suspend the time until our body break down our precious muscle into amino acids.

if you have just whey, mix it with wholemilk during sahur, and have complex carbs also.

buka puasa depends on your workout schedule-lah, if you workout b4 buka puasa, have whey then. IF you want workout AFTER tarawih, then its a good idea to have a lil bit of simple carbs (air manis, kurma) and a mixture of complex carbs with protein. Do not have too many simple carbs as insulin spike may leave you fatigue and tidor la lepas tu....

if you have pre-workout drinks (NoXPlode, SuperpUmp, FastTwitch) drink it immediately b4 eating your meal for buka. Its because it will provide energy for your workout later. Saves your money no need to buy that cincau drinks eh?

Training cut to 60-70 RM cukup la. For me Ramadhan target is to preserve strentgh and size as much as possible.

ps: i think ill post this in H&F also la
ps2: its was in my sales thread, of course has some sales intentions

lol. just share it with others


Chow

push your creatine post-wo better, why b4 sleep?
and mix your gainer with milk b4 sleep


Chow

bulking needs caloric surpass, can you meet them with fasting? if can....
better change to less taxing routine.

just a portion of milk and water.
creatine can lead to dehydration, my opinion better take post-wo, so youll have plenty of time to drink water back.


a good read here guys , Stronglifts Ramadhan


Chow

erk...no. isolation will only waste your time in this month. Strengths training si good to keep your size. Bench press, squats.
i never done Stronglifts 5x5 b4....better check yeah_guyz journal


Chow

tomorrow is the last day for fasting. after that can hentam to bulk up more

before its too later i wish Selamat Hari Raya to all Muslims and happ holidays to non-muslim in H&F


Chow

sorry to hear that bro, hope you recover well.
Selamat Hari Raya


Chow

the guy's genetic is something else...so...

for fasting month

if i dont train = for sure lose 5kg onwards.
if i train = 3kg-5kg

its fasting month so i cut the reps to 3-5x only so i can use the same weights i use on non-fasting month.
other people might prefer to use higher reps, less weights.

See which one suits yourself.


calsories in VS calories out. some articles say eating frequent is overrated, in the end calories that matters.

we are limited to only few meals from buka till sahur, high calories meal and gainers can help to make up the calories.
