Ramadan always changes how training looks.

Less volume.
More intention.

When you’re fasting, the goal isn’t exhaustion.
It’s maintaining strength, respecting recovery, and keeping the body moving well.

Training becomes quieter.
More awareness of breath.
More focus on quality movement.

More discipline in knowing when enough is enough.
And interestingly… progress can still happen.

One of my online clients this week moved 24kg swings for the first time during Ramadan.

Busy schedule.
Fasting.
Still improving.

That’s the power of structure and consistency.

Ramadan reminds us that discipline, patience, and intention matter in training just as much as they do in life.

Ramadan training requires a different approach.

The goal is not fatigue.
The goal is strength maintenance, movement quality, and control while respecting the fast.

Today’s session stayed within that framework:

Double 20 kg Clean & Press – strength without grinding.
Double 20 kg Front Squats – tension and posture under load.
24 kg Swings – sharp hinge, low volume, full recovery.
Windmills – shoulder stability and controlled mobility.
Finished with Mace 360s to restore rhythm and loosen the shoulders.

During Ramadan I reduce volume, extend rest slightly, and keep movements deliberate. The body is fasting, so the training has to be intentional rather than excessive.

Strength doesn’t disappear in a month.
But discipline can disappear quickly if the plan isn’t adjusted.

Train smart.
Respect the fast.
Keep the body moving.

Ramadan changes how we train.

Energy shifts.
Recovery shortens.
Structure matters more.

This month isn’t for chasing PRs.
It isn’t for testing limits mid-fast.
It’s for protecting what you’ve built.

For the adults I coach — especially 35+ — the focus becomes simple:

• Maintain muscle
• Preserve strength
• Protect joints
• Keep the habit of movement

Volume comes down.
Mobility goes up.
Tempo slows.
Rest lengthens.

Consistency > intensity.

Adjust early.
Train with the month, not against it.


15/02/2026

Goblet squats look simple.

But in a transition phase, simple is deliberate.

Slower tempo.
Longer time under tension.
Enough load to maintain strength without chasing fatigue.

With Ramadan approaching, the goal isn’t to peak.
It’s to protect muscle, manage recovery, and stay consistent.

Progress doesn’t disappear when you adjust it intelligently.

DEEPER INTO PART 1: Training the Two-Explosion Qualities.

Our first breakdown established triple extension as the source. Now let's get specific about training it for sequential power.

These two exercises target the exact physical qualities needed for that unstoppable two-move combo:

• Half Sn**ch = Explosive triple extension from a standstill (First Step Power)
• Medball Slam/Jump = Force absorption & immediate lateral re-acceleration (Second Move Power)

Build the qualities. The skill will follow.

The gym writes the code. The court runs the program.

Follow .om for the application.

Build your Turkish Get-Up from the ground up. 🏗️

This is the Strength Triad—three exercises that build the non-negotiable foundation for a powerful and stable TGU.

The Blueprint:

*A. Glute Bridges: Develop the explosive hip power for your initial roll-up off the floor.
*B. Half-Kneeling Press: Forge the shoulder and core stability to hold the bell overhead with absolute control.
*C. Kettlebell Windmills: Build the oblique strength and hip mobility for the entire ascent and descent.

Your Assignment:

3 rounds of this circuit. Focus on the quality and control you see in the video—this is a practice, not a race.

SAVE this essential workout and FOLLOW for Thursday's technique breakdown where we put this strength to work mastering the stand-up! 💪🏾

From grounded to powerful - this is your Week 3 stand-up blueprint. 🚀

The transition from lunge to standing is where most people lose their power. Here's how to own it:

Key Stand-Up Cues:
1. Drive through your FRONT heel
2. Keep chest proud & tall
3. Engage your glutes to stand
4. Finish completely vertical

This week we're mastering the entire stand-up sequence. Save this for your practice sessions!

What part of the stand-up feels most challenging for you? Let me know below! 👇🏾

From the floor to tall kneeling and back down here is the complete ascent and descent of the Turkish Get-Up.

Breaking down the steps you just saw:

THE ASCENT:
1. The Setup:Start with the bell pressed straight up. "Punch the ceiling" to create full-body tension.
2. Roll to Elbow: Roll onto your free elbow, keeping your eyes on the bell and your core tight.
3. Press to Hand: Drive through your planted hand and press the floor away to get tall.
4. Hip Bridge & Sweep: Bridge your hips up high and powerfully sweep your leg through, "wiping the floor" with your foot.
5. Tall Kneel: Find a stable, tall kneeling position.

THE DESCENT:
To reverse the movement, simply follow the steps backward with control:
- Swing your leg back through the path it came.
- Lower yourself from hand to elbow with control.
- Finally, roll smoothly back down to the starting position.

The magic is in the control, not the speed. Every step is intentional.

The difference between a wobbly Get-Up and a rock-solid one is all in the sweep. Most people are missing this engine. 🚀

This week, we're fixing it. The powerful bridge, the active sweep, and the pivot are your keys to a stable ascent.
