Does anyone else notice how cranky Muslims are during Ramadan

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.

They will break like everyone else eventually and be glad when ramadan is almost over.

It’s very inappropriate for your coach to be making terrorist jokes especially if he has muslim students.

Australia is a different culture.

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.

The muslims I’m talking about don’t complain either and the ones I know don’t eat pork or drink alcohol. But they are extremely cranky.

Maybe they just don’t like you :joy:

So other people telling me their Muslim coworkers are cranky lately means?

they are probably racist

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.

that’s some devotion working out without water

You are training people who cant hydrate?
Im calling bullshit

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.

You used the term “hard work” which was a red flag

I just looked on /islam and couldn’t find anything perhaps you could link me to some of the threads you are referring to.

It sounds too risky or dangerous. But if they manage to do it somehow more power to them.

They train with us during.

Martial art classes are at night so I assumed they were drinking water during your class.

I don’t think so.

Yeah absolutely, the guys i know have been doing it since they were young, so they are so used to it and it doesn’t bother them.

Yeah the gym guys don’t stop, they keep training, not uncommon.
