Also i can use some advice. I'm doing this with dumbell...

Now i read that you should work in sets...

So i begin with

5 kg 10 x 3 sets.....i'm thinking like i will increase every day like......11x 3 sets, 12x3 sets...when i hit 20x3sets i will increase the weight

It will be 6 kg 10 x3 sets.... and same routine will go on increasing the weight every 10 days....

what do you think ?

I think this exercise is unimportant, it's an isolation exercise. A little muscle which will be trained itself if you train the large muscles through compound exercises. You can do this exercise but it won't do much from my experiences through the last years.

Swimming is hard in Ankara.....

Okay, i decided....Running, dumbell, sit-ups, push-ups.

Running is good but you will get bored soon of just doing biceps, push ups and sit ups at home. Being at a gym is way more effective for strength training for endurance & strength joining a sport like boxing and going 2 times a week is good as well being led by the trainer and you being forced to keep up with the rest as much as you can, you will become better in time and it's one of the heaviest sports.

from my own experiences I think that's best.

@Sinan

Do heavywieght sets with low reps(6-8) and change it up every few weeks. For someone your size you need 45 min in the gym. I suggest you workout every day 5 times a week if you get enough protein intake/sleep. If not then every other day depending on how your muscles feel.

You want to hit every muscle for best results. Back, chest, shoulders, legs, triceps/biceps. Do two a day if you can and switch up each time.

For someone my size I'm supposed to do high intensity compound exercises less than heavywieght around 10-12 reps , 3 sets each exercise and 4 exercises within 30 min.

That's correct. No need to only train the biceps. Dumbbells are not that effective either.

Boxing is an excellent choice for weight loss, for increased agility, coordination, muscle gain and for greater fitness (cardio).

He does not even need to do actual boxing. He can just do sparring with a boxing bag or a sparring partner. I think that @Sinan is only interested in gaining a BIT more muscle mass and losing the unnecessary fat % that are stored in his belly and other unwanted places of the body.

A 2 month boxing training regime will turn him around completely though on all fronts. In terms of muscle mass, weight loss and cardio. The emphasis will be on the arms, upper body and stomach muscles though. Less so legs unless he makes separate exercises training them.

 

[al-Hasani]

This would be ideal:

Last video is just for fun. I doubt that anybody here is geared for a pro boxers training regime. I am at least far from that and I have boxed for 2 years. Nothing serious but at least against opponents my size and age (sometimes even older).

Combine that with a few exercises in the gym such as deadlift, pull-ups, leg press, bench press (my favorite upper body exercise).

Of course no talk about boxing without a video of the great Iron Mike.

Anyway can anyone recommend a good movie? Don't care about the genre. Just not some romantic nonsense or stupid science fiction nonsense. Not in the mood for that. Can't sleep.

What can I say? You have a good taste then my friend.

@levina and her friends going berserk in Dubai (just kidding)

Living like a filthy, filthy rich Arab sheikh for a few weeks would not be bad would it? The ones my age in Cannes were obviously not ordinary tourists. You should have seen them @Hazzy997 Imagine money never being a problem?!

 

[Falcon29]

I never knew that happened in Dubai.

But, to be honest it makes me sad and angry. What a pathetic people we have become. This is a tragedy.

Really? Dubai is one of the party capitals in the region. Come on, Arabs always liked to party and enjoy the pleasures of life. Where do you think all that belly dancing, good food, poetry, harems, hundreds of dances etc. come from? Palestinians know how to party too. You know.

Nah, most locals in the UAE are actually still quite conservative. Believe it or not.

I have been clubbing dozens of times myself but I don't drink alcohol. I just do it to socialize with friends and met new people. Most Muslims (Arabs included) do it in France and Denmark. Hell many even drink. It is almost impossible to avoid unless you isolate yourself (to a degree) socially in the West and then people will think of you as strange. Especially in our age. Not that I care what people say I am just saying that sometimes people do and then act accordingly.

To be honest with you then I prefer such people over two-faced Muslims that act all religious but in reality are not.

I never went clubbing.

It is common for Muslims overseas to try to integrate with the society because life is lonely without doing so. It's a hard situation for all Muslims. But, I still believe we need to go back to our ways and I hope these Islamic Movements in the ME are bringing us back to what we used to be.

That's amazing. Are you serious? I mean what about a home party, birthday etc?

Yes and not only that in many Western European countries the only time when people really socialize outside of the work places/schools/universities/colleges etc. are when they are drunk or going out. There is already a lot of negativity surrounding Muslims in the West so if they also abstain from socializing people will think that they are up to something or don't want to "integrate". Of course many don't do it but instead of going clubbing the men are going to coffee shops to smoke shisha, cigarettes and other stuff while the women are meeting each other to gossip.

To tell you honestly I would have difficulties moving back to KSA and staying there for good by now due to some of the restrictive laws on some areas.

Stop being Haram, Al-Hasani!

 

[al-Hasani]

Stop being Haram, Al-Hasani!

I am neither drinking, smoking or having any affairs right now. I try to do my best but having lived in Europe for so many years it can be hard not to get used to the personal freedoms that we have and often enjoy. I know that we often romanticize our home countries and the Muslim world (trust me there is a lot of good things there and on many areas better than in the West) but in terms of personal freedoms there is much less.

Rules in KSA are much more restrictive when it comes to that.

In the West we are allowed to live our life's like we want to. I can become really religious tomorrow and nobody will hurt me for doing so or prevent me.

Yeah I am bro, I don't why but I always stayed away from any parties besides birthday parties when I was a child. Other than that I never clubbed/partied/drank/did any drug. I am clean when it comes to that stuff. But, I need to work on myself a lot. I miss some prayers and I need to read Quran more often.

I used to be very sensitive when I was young and also had bad asthma. Now I'm strong hearted. But I changed my perspective on social life.

I fit into Gaza very perfectly. I actually feel more freedom/fun there than here.

Women gossip too much and I can't handle it. I prefer to stay away from all drama. My father always raised me on these standards to not care about drama/what people think of you/etc...

And today I am better than him at this stuff. I actually prefer also not to go to shishaa stores.

I am a unique case.

That's partly because when the war on Gaza began in 2008 I wanted to learn about the conflict. That summer of 2009 I also visited there but wasn't influenced by them. Then a point in my life where I began deep thinking about life at a rather young age so I matured mentally early. I began taking our cause very seriously and it eventually evolved into bigger things.

I really don't belong here but my family wants me to study. It's stressful.

I have never eaten pork, drunk alcohol or taken any drugs either. I tried qat once but I consider that harmless. Like caffeine.

My sisters are great gossipers. They often exposed me and my brothers when we were doing trouble or fighting. This is typical for women. They gossip all the time.

That is admirable but remember not to go to the extremes. A healthy balance is always the best. I don't know. I just guess that you change when you are exposed to different environments. No that I never knew Europe. I did from a very, very young age due to travels and family visits etc. My family background is that of a mixed household that upheld traditions but also a household that was international and orientated towards the outside world. This was always the case. Due to my background. So not really your typical traditional home. I think that this has shaped me. I was always curious of different cultures, countries etc. I try to take the good and the bad away from every culture.

What I don't like is the habit of us not wanting to lose face. I mean ME people. This creates much hot air and false nonsense.

I can't stand migrants in Europe (Muslim ones) who are complaining when their sisters/female friends etc. are not wearing scarfs but they themselves are doing many haram things etc. and have girlfriends without scarfs etc. This is nonsense.

@Hazzy997 That phrase says it all.
I also feel the same way despite being born here and having many friends and being respected by people.
I always felt this weird feeling.Once I finish education I will come Gaza with you.

LOL. What I meant is that I have tried smoking shisha a few times (I have to admit that) and cigarettes too but I don't recall ever drinking. So I am not that bad or any different from even the average male in KSA, ME or the Muslim world.

I am not doing much harm. In fact I am more conservative than most Muslims in the West. I just don't shun social life and have no problem going out with non-Muslim friends under the condition that they respect that I do not drink alcohol.
