Eid Mubarak to all the muslims who have been fasting over Ramadhan.

I hope you all found it beneficial. The moon has been sighted across the muslim world. Eid has been announced

For those that have nothing to contribute, press the back button. You trolled the ramadhan thread, don't do the same here.

What does that mean?

Eid is calculated on the sighting of the moon (new lunar month). In the muslim world it's dark and the moon has been sighted. It's still daylight here.

Aye Eid Mubarak to all, time has flown!

OT: Dark how did your month of training go? Any loss or gains?

It was tough!

Training was difficult to stick to. I was hitting the 5x5 programme and I failed my squats for the first time @ 132.5KG. After that set back I decided to drop the 5x5 routine and just take it easy. I've been hitting the gym 1-2 times a week and just reaping the benefits of Ramadhan. I experimented a bit with keto and I've dropped noticeable body fat. Lost about 10lb.

Yeah, I tried the 5x5 but didn't go too heavy, it was ok but my energy levels were like 0. I don't think I've lost any mass, perhaps a pound or 2 of fat though!

Excellent - Now's the time to hit it hard!

I also can't believe it's over

Eid Mubarak to every one - from what I can tell, this is the most united that Muslim countries/communities have been regarding Eid in a long time and long may it continue

Aye, It's been the most beneficial ramadhan to date for personal development.

Alhamdulillah, it's great to see the Ummah coming together!

Eid (In arabic . . Eid ul-fitr - known as the smaller of the two eids) is a celebration to mark the end of Ramadhan. Muslims across the world celebrate this on the new lunar day of the month.
