Any ramadan brahs losing gains?

At first I thought I was maintaining well, still had the majority of my strength. Lately though it's been phuked, idk what happened but it's like overnight my chest strength just became absolutely haram. Used to do bench 2 plates paused for reps but yesterday I couldn't even do 2 srs. Just last week I was doing it for reps wtf man. Probably a lot of other factors in play but man it's depressing af seeing how significant the losses are with bench.

It's temporary and once it's over you'll get it back.

Keep at it!

Idk bro I'm a Christian, but Ethiopian Christians are dedicated to fasting

I think your obedience to God is more important than your weight lifting

Maybe it is just the hunger, and your strength will come back after the fast

Of course brah I didn't say I'm gonna stop. I fast every year. I'm just surprised at how sudden it was. Like just last week I still had like at least 90% of my strength but now my bench just fell so drastically. I thought it would decrease little by little over time not that sudden. Legit only did 1 paused rep with 225 like wtf. Used to be able to do sets of 4-5.

so its just like a 12 hour fast during the day, right? should be that much of an issue, i have like a 5 hour eating window on the daily and my strength didn't move when i started that... maybe dehydrated if you're also doing no water or something. or maybe move your workouts to the night around when you eat? I do mine inbetween my two meals, so that could be why it never bothered me.

It's sunrise to sunset so a bit more than 12 hours. It includes no water too so when I lift I can't even drink water so it sucks. I usually lift right before I break the fast so I can eat right after (idk if this is a good idea, seems like I've been gradually losing strength recently). Obviously can't do as much but I was still able to retain most of my strength last week. Lately though my bench just plummeted man idk why. Everything else is relatively okay and I was able to maintain well last week.

Might be some other factors plus the fasting idk my left shoulder has been a bit off. I'd lift after if I could but I lift in the garage and have tenants that live downstairs so I can't have barbell noises and sht at night.

How long would you brahs say it takes to get your strength back? Like say if you take a month off lifting? Appreciate the re-assurance brahs.

ah, you're probably just glycogen depleted and dehydrated with possible low blood sugar if you're doing it at the end of your fast then. You can just keep working out and realize that your current lifts are not indicative of your actual strength. When ramadan is over, you'll come back to regular strength in a couple weeks if you keep lifting. You could strip your workouts to short bare bones high intensity stuff though since you're just keeping yourself stimulated during this time.
You could take time off to let your shoulder heal as well, might be better in the long run, but also will take a bit longer to regain strength, probably around a month.

Thanks brah appreciate the advice brah that makes sense. Will adjust my workout accordingly, probably only do squats for now or something.

Yeah that's the worst part. Has you chitting bricks and gotta drink a sht ton once you break the fast. I think that's probably where I went wrong as well since I haven't been drinking enough water at night.

What happens if you get so thirsty that you just take a few sips? Does that count as a Ramadan fail and destined for hell or some chit?

Strong bait thread, i find it hard to believe muslims use this forum (srs)

Anyways, what is the purpose of ramadan? I've had a muzzy sloot tell me it's to empathize with the homeless/poor? yet you ****ggots over-consume at night/when you break fast so "saving food" is negated, why not donate to the homeless instead?

Yeah that would be a fail. If you take a few sips you might as well just start eating/drinking as much as you want cuz you already broke the fast.

Lol how is that so hard to believe? Every day there's jokes about this place having only gay indians left posting here. Indian in the misc means all south asian brown brahs, lot of them being muslim. And yeah it's about empathizing with the poor and self discipline and sht. Donating to the poor is great but not everyone can do that since some ppl are already broke af, but pretty much everyone can fast.

Imagine not intermittent fasting and binging on double bacon cheese pizza's and peanut butter shakes when you break your fast every evening. It's over for you, habibi.

It's technically breaking your fast yeah but if you do it because either:
1. You forgot your fasting
2. At the point where it affects your health/wellbeing
3. Pregnant/ feeling unwell/ have a health condition
4. Travelling.

Then it's completely permissible to break/not fast in Islam. I know dat feel OP even though I barely ever fast in Ramadan the hardest part is no water and your mouth feeling dry AF. The no food part is pretty easy tbh.

Longyearbyen is the northern most city in the world. Today the sun rises at 3:13am and sets 10:53pm. So there's a 4 hour window for Muslims to eat.

I'm guessing no Muslims live there.
