Slow is smooth… And a torture.

  • My current aim for Saturdays are to do some weights/resistance training.
  • With the coming Ramadhan month, I’m curious on how I should schedule my gym sessions. Closer to iftar/breaking of fast I reckon.
  • Based on some videos I saw online and the instructor’s guide, there are times when you go slow and there are times you go fast.
  • Today I tried several things. First, I went slow on some reps and it was a torture.
  • If only I could see internally how my muscles stretch, snaps…and then repairs itself.
  • I tried out working out without any meals prior or any electrolyte before/during/after workout. Just a few sips of water from the water fountain.
  • I even went into the sauna afterwards for 15 minutes.
  • My break of fast was a cup of coffee at 1030am, then some noodles with meat at 11am.
  • Took a nap at 2pm for 2 hours. Even on a tiled floor with a thin carpet, it was a really good rest.
  • I guess with age, the level of rest/recovery needed is way more than when you were younger.

Until then – stay hungry, stay consistent.
