Hi guys,

For those who don't know me yet, well that's normal as I registered yesterday, so I am brand new on this board...You can check out my introduction in the appropriate section.

I decided to start a training log to get advices and to share my experience with you guys. I'm from France, now in Montreal, and I've been working out for about 3 years and a half. Like a lot of you (I guess), I started being more serious about my diet about a year ago, and since then I've been trying to learn more and more about our sport and nutrition...

I could take some good advices right now because I am muslim, and this is my first Ramadan this month (I converted to Islam a year ago), so my main goal is to try not to lose to much weight...So if there is any muslim on this board that could give me some advices about bodybuilding nutrition during Ramadan, that'd be highly appreciated...

Ok, enough talking, let's start with the training. Yesterday, chest workout :

- Flat bench press :
10@200
10@220
2*5@270
8@250
- Incline bench press
4*8@220
- Weighted dips
4*8@(body weight + 90lbs)
- Seated fly
3*8@220
- Incline bench press (on a machine)
3*8@220

That was it...once again, as it is Ramadan and as I have no choice but working out before eating, so on a empty stomach, my workouts are pretty short (45'), and I workout only one muscle group...

^^ imo the best thing to do during ramadan is what you are doing, training right before eating before sundown. This way you get your PW nutrition in, question though, does that also mean u cant have any type of pills during fastin? like bcaa's?


Good luck and welcome to the logs

No food, no liquids (meaning no water, even during training), and no pills either during the day...Well at least I'm gonna burn the little layer of fat I had on my abs haha...

Do you guys think this fast can be beneficial though : after the 19th of september, I can start eating normally again, and I was thinking that this will definitely shock my body/muscles, so I should grow a lot right after this month don't you think (if I take the right amount of quality food obviously)...

From people that i know, most of them had a good rebound effect once they start eating right again, just dont train too hard, cuz you dont have enough calories to recover and stuff, be patient, once 19th of sept comes, eat lots and train hard

Thanks mate I appreciate, especially coming from a strong guy like you :xyxthumbs:. I noticed that you seem to talk in KG on this board but as it's american I was expecting LBS...I know both but I just wanted to know which one you understand better ? (I hope you understood my chest session was in LBS, I am not that strong...yet :weightlifter:)

Hi guys, and thanks again for the comments.

Yesterday, shoulder training :

- Shoulders presses :
4*10@150
- Upright row (cable) :
10@120
10@130
10@140
10@150 :turborun:
- Lateral raises (dumbells):
4*10@25 (each)
- Lever shrugs :
5*10@270 (getting there...)
- Lever seated rear lateral raise (clear enough ?) :
3*10@100

That was a good training...shoulder training is not my fav but it went well and I was pretty happy with the weights I used...
