**Maintain Strength & Muscle During Ramadan (Without Burning Out)**



Fasting during Ramadan can leave you drained, and squeezing in gym time between *taraweeh* prayers and pre-dawn meals feels impossible. But here’s the good news: you *don’t* need marathon workouts to preserve your hard-earned strength and muscle.  


**The Solution:** A science-backed, minimalist routine that works *with* your energy levels, not against them.  


---


### **Your 2-Day Weekly Blueprint**  

*Total time commitment: 10-20 minutes/week*  


**Day 1: Lower Body + Horizontal Push/Pull**  

1. **Squat Variation** (barbell, goblet, or machine)  

   → 3-5 sets of 3-5 reps  

2. **Bench Press Variation** (flat, incline, or dumbbell)  

   → 3-5 sets of 3-5 reps  

3. **Horizontal Pull** (barbell row, cable row, or machine row)  

   → 3-5 sets of 3-5 reps  


**Day 2: Upper Body + Hip Hinge**  

1. **Overhead Press** (dumbbell, barbell, seated, or standing)  

   → 3-5 sets of 3-5 reps  

2. **Deadlift Variation** (Romanian, conventional, or dumbbell)  

   → 3-5 sets of 3-5 reps  

3. **Vertical Pull** (pull-ups, chin-ups, or lat pulldowns)  

   → 3-5 sets of 3-5 reps (*Add weight if bodyweight is too easy*)  


**Rest:** 2-5 minutes between sets.  

**Weight:** Use the heaviest load you can handle with perfect form.  


*Optional:* Add 1-2 sets of bicep/tricep work *if energy allows*.

### **Why This Works**  

This routine targets all **5 foundational movement patterns**:  

1. Horizontal push (e.g., bench press)  

2. Horizontal pull (e.g., rows)  

3. Vertical push (e.g., overhead press)  

4. Vertical pull (e.g., pull-ups)  

5. Squat & hip hinge (e.g., deadlifts)  


By focusing on heavy, compound lifts, you stimulate maximum muscle fibers in minimal time. Even short sessions help maintain strength and muscle density without overtaxing your fasting body.

### **The Mindset Shift**  

Ramadan is about balance. This isn’t the month for PRs or marathon sessions—it’s about *consistent, strategic effort*. Two days a week keeps your body engaged, respects your energy limits, and leaves room for spiritual priorities.  


**Remember:** Progress isn’t lost overnight. Muscle memory will kick in post-Ramadan when you return to your regular routine.
