Ramadhan Kareem!

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!

Fasting is a great subject I’ve tried it in the past and it’s awesome your videos are so informative thank you

was waiting for that drop

Great advice 💯💯 Main thing is to just maintain during fasting month.

Mike the goat🔥

Thank you ❤

Thanks brother

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

Thank you 😊

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

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.

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?

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 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.

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

Thanks alot

You’re So informative and eloquent. Love you Mike. 😍🔥

thanks for this video mike

The Grand Sheikh of Ibiza , Mike Thurston dropping the gems

Ramadan Mubarak!

Thank you brother, may Allah reward you!

Thank youuu

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

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 😱

Waiting for this Video

informative thanks

Halfway to go

Ramadan Kareem

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

Just been watching you in the gentlemen

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

Sheikh Thurston giving us Ramadhan training tips 😊

오늘도 너무 멋지십니다. 으이!

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

Speeking facts

This video and tips remember me for (Joe lindner last Ramadan 2023 ) R.I.P Joe lindner 🫡🇲🇦🇺🇸! Thanks for the tips Mike 🙌🏽

Mufti Mike

Thanks for this vid Mike! Im fasting for Ramadan and usually workout 4 days a week. However now ill be doing two half days of lifting while im fasting just to try and preserve my muscle mass. Its difficult for me to train after i break my fast cuz i tend to over eat haha

The man himself is back 🔥

Good video

Great shit as always.

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.😍😍

Bro thnx ❤️

I like your KZfaq videos

I was looking for the subscribe button then I realized I'm already subscribed lol

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

Habibi Mike

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 .

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

Mike are you gonna do a extended fast of 4 days anytime soon? With just only water allowed to consume

What would be the best option to eat for suhur?

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

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

This guy looks unreal my word 😂😂🔥

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.

Mike if I want to train in the morning say 6:30 should I eat something at 05:30? or after the session ? I'm not fasting FYI

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