Has anyone noticed how the Muslim people around them are so cranky lately? They can’t eat all day and they can’t even drink any kind of liquid so that’s understandable.
Even if you don’t have any Muslim coworkers ask people who do and they’ll tell you how cranky they are. I’ve noticed it even among a Muslim person I talk to online. I was joking with this girl l talk to online like I always do and she said don’t piss me off while I’m fasting.
I honestly believe that Muhummad created Ramadan just to fuck with his followers.
Nope. Every Muslim we have had through our gym have been straight up delightful. Straight through ramadan the whole business.
Our coach who makes constant terrorist jokes. Didn’t even make the link between the Turkish guy who doesn’t drink, smoke or swear. An his religion he was constantly making fun of.
The only muslim friends of mine that struggle through Ramadan are the bad ones, the ones that eat pork and drink alcohol but for some reason have a crack at Ramadan every year and just suffer through it and complain.
The guys that live it throughout the year just like Gregs experience seam to enjoy it .
They are some of the most generous and considerate individuals you could hope to meet.
two of my clients are muslims who are really not having fun through Ramadan, but still maintain their pleasantness and hard work in the gym. We just work their intensity and rest periods around their fatigue they will feel.
typically early morning within an hour or two after food, with lower intensity.
I’m also not the only one in my gym who does this.
Go spend some time on places like r/islam and such where people talk about this every time it’s Ramadan, engage with the people you’re talking about instead of wallowing in ignorance and calling what you don’t know for a fact as BS.
Generally, longer rest and not going super high on intensity is how we do things until we clear Ramadan. Think like a deload period in other training meso or macrocycles.
