One of my friends met you in Dubai. He said you are a very genuine, kind, and fun person to be around, and he is not someone who is easy to make an impression on. That gave me a lot more respect for you and a lot more respect for your advice. Thanks for the great videos Mike!

04:40 A 16 hr fast means your eating window is 8 hours. If you have a 3 hour eating window, then you are doing a 21 hour fast. A 3 hr feeding window is more like OMAD one meal a day, great for reducing weight, not ideal for gaining muscle. For the 8 hr fast the eating window, as stated is 11 hrs. so what happened to the other 5 hours? No water during a fast is brutal.

Omg! Ive just got into this - but i was literally looking for something like this a few days ago on KZread and couldn’t find anything! Thank you for this!

Ramadan Mubarak! Good video bro

Thanks Mike for making this clear during the month of Ramadan. You are the best ! Massive respect king Mike 💯

Thanks brother

Thanks alot

Thank youuu

was waiting for that drop

Day 13 still fasting, looking sharp & in shape. Thanks Mike 🙏🏻

Met Mike in a little coffee shop in London a few weeks ago, very nice lad. Spoke to him like I knew him for ages 😂

Thanks for the knowledge Mike. I didn’t know that protein synthesis starts after you consume a meal and lasts 5 hours. Can you make a video of calisthenics v weight training and why you prefer weight training? Love the Japan videos btw. I visited there once when I was in the military. Love how clean it is and love the food. Also have to mention the amazing public transportation there. You thinking about checking out Korea next?

Very helpful! After breaking fast should be light meal with high protien as mike said

Ramadan Mubarak!

Thanks Mike. Really good video. Was having that question on my mind until I saw your video

Mike the goat🔥

Thanks Champ, follower from Saudi. I try and bulk 2-3 weeks before Ramadan (dirty bulk 😂), then use Ramadan as a clean cut whilst focusing on not losing too much strength. I’m ok to lose some mass and lose HEAPS of fat. I eat good amount of protein at Iftar (6-7pm), then hit the fluids until Suhoor (4-5am) including 500ml yoghurt/milk drinks as my last meal, then I’m hydrated enough to do a maintenance session before the next Iftar (2 sets, no PB like you say, but keeping it heavy). I find if I stop the gym or go too light weights then my body loses all strength very quickly in 4 weeks during Ramadan. Keep up the great vlogs bro

informative thanks

Thanks Mike. Lots to consider there. Personally I’m wiped out for the evening after breaking fast. My body just crashes. No chance of working out. So during Ramadan I get up 90mins before dawn and lift while I can drink water. I eat straight afterwards. Porridge and a protein shake then back to sleep for a couple of hours. Works for me. Ramadan Kareem.

Dude look at your hair! Last time i saw a video of you was 4-5 years ago when you were talking about hairloss. It looks super good 😱

Thanks mike for this sharing. Really helpful! Just thinking it would make a great content if you could try fast for 1 day

We need frequent uploads

I train after fasting, dates are a great source of energy prior to it. Afterwards every 1,5/2 hour small meals with atleast 20 grams of proteïne, i noticed getting leaner without losing muscle, but ofcourse i'm in a calorific deficit. Great video Mike

Thanks a lot Mike I would advise everyone to try fasting especially if u want fat loss I came back working out at the beginning of Ramadan and this is the first time I easily lose fat at this speed

Waiting for this Video

Bro thnx ❤️

Good video

Ramadan is the fasting month of the year. It is time restricted feeding dry pattern i.e. fasting completely for about 14-16 hours. Also we train either just 1-2 hours before breaking the fast or after in the feeding window

during ramadan its best to cruise n maintain rather than trying to keep growing because for most people they end up eating in a caloric deficit, so protein is not gon be at the optimal level during the 2 windows of eating we have, plus lack of sleep that is chronic in some cases, plus also dehydration. Your body simply will not have the resources to recover from the stress and damage that is undergoes while working out as one would usually do. So the goal of working out (Slightly before Iftaar or go after iftaar) , to do as little damage as possible to the muscle while still giving a good stimulus for your body to hold onto it, id say you could resort to isometric holds of lets say 80% of your 1RM for 1 or 2 set for 10 to 20 second holds at mid range or contracted position. Another way would be to half everything down, lets say i can do 10 reps on 70kg on lat pulldown to failure usually, i cut it to about 4 to 5 reps so that you do not get into the zone where you stimulate growth or get you sore that will require quite a bit more resource that your body doesnt have to recover from.

Mike during Ramadan over the years I’m training one day on two days off for 45 mins, 4 hours after breaking my fast and having another meal 1 hour before sunrise and lifting at 80 percent of normal capacity , training seems to be working very well as when Ramadan is completed I can ramp up back to normal without any issues .

I think if I was fasting I would do this, keep ticking over training two days per week, I wouldn't do legs(too taxing imo and something has to give))but cover all other muscle groups, which could be done easily...

thanks for this video mike

Mohammad Mike Thurston

One of the tricky things with training in Ramadhan is the Taraweeh prayer (if you want to pray it, which I do like to do in the mosque). This leaves little time for training after breaking the fast. training after that is pretty effective, like Mike said if you can switch your sleep pattern and sleep more during the day and training/work evening and night that is optimal. Like a lot of people that timing does not work for my life. As someone doing his for years, I always try bulk before Ramadhan, then I find Ramadhan good for cutting. Training, have to just compromise, can't train like normal. Train when u get time either first thing when have more energy or just before Iftari time when even though can be tired, not long to wait to hydrate and eat. Less sessions is inevitable but like Mike says more focus on quality.

Hi, What are your current carb and fat macros per day Mike?

Great shit as always.

Just an honest question: Aren't you supposed to count your fasting hours from the moment you stopped eating? Because what you're describing with a 16H fast is actually a 21H fast... Normally you stop eating at for example 20H and you fast until 12H, which is 16 hours pf fasting. Ok, you're not immediately in a fasted state, but that's not how you count fasting hours, no? Or am I wrong? Also with the 8H fast you start counting at sunrise, BUT people that do Ramadan don't do 8H fasting, they do fasting during the time the sun is up, which is never only 8 hours... People that do 8 hour fasting are not doing the Ramadan. Or am I missing something? It could be me? I don't want to diss your advice, I'm just legitimately curious. Thx!

Mufti Mike

Ramadan is a month meant to solidify and strengthen not only the physical but the mental/psychological sides of human beings. What use of fasting in the name of The Creator for 12-15 hours a day if it doesn't benefit one emotionally, spiritually and physically. Which is why I always do my toughest weight trainings before Iftar; to feel the intensity of thirst, starvation and hunger. Only then can one understand/feel how the unprivileged ones go through on daily basis. And lastly, as per scientific studies, the GH ( Growth Hormone ) is at highest level when fasting. But loved every single aspect described/explained by uncle Mike. Love you and long live.😍😍

This month is more of a night life where we pray 2 hour extra in mosque at night, workout at night, again pray around 3-5am. Then eat suhoor before sunrise. And then sleep till 1pm mostly 5-6 hours. Sleep schedule gets bit messy but some people also sleep around 10pm till 4-5am, and pray 1 hour extra and do suhoor and continue their day as normal but they struggle a lot because they don't sleep throughout the day

What would be the best option to eat for suhur?

Never clicked this fast.

Allahu Akbar, what perfect timing. You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar 🥸

niceeee

Now adays i fast at 4.45 am and i eat enough(mostly carbs and some fats) so that i can carry my full day of normal routine and in the evening at 6 15 pm i eat iftaar which is a mixture of protein, carbs, n fats and then i take alot of water and coffee as well and the 3 hours after that i go to gym and im enjoyng it. The point I'm trying to make is this is the best time of the year to make or break your body shape.

Nice video mike can you please try ramadan give us your opinion how do you feel

Ramadan fasting is the 14..16 hours we start at 4.30 am till 6 pm
