It includes many elements, but the most well known and relevant to this forum are no eating and drinking from sunrise to sunset each day of the month. There are no restrictions on eating and drinking between sunset and sunrise. My goal was to come into the month weighing around 207 lbs, with an expectation that I might drop a pound or two by the end. Now, I just want to stay above 202. By the end of Ramadan, I will have about 2 weeks to go until the competition.
As for training frequency, I hope I can get at least 2 sessions per week, and hopefully 3. That will depend on energy and timing. If I can make it Tue/Thu/Sat, that would be ideal to me. I’m not training tomorrow though (first day), so this week will probably just be Wed/Sat, both at night. When I entered this meet, I wasn’t even thinking about Ramadan’s dates in 2021. If so, I may not have entered. But once I was reminded, I didn’t want to drop out. God willing, I can still do what I have in mind on the platform next month.
