I had posted this video in regards to a Pakistani thread questioning our identity. This is by a very poet of Pakistan, and I think it applies to the conversation we were having on this thread earlier. It is obviously in Urdu, but there are English subtitles. It is 20 minutes long, but I like you to watch it and give me your thoughts. It is for all of us Muslims.

This was in 1912? Wow, he literally described Muslim world. And this is hundred years ago, which is scary. I liked how he said in fashion we are Christian, culture Hindu. And how the people at mosques are the poor. He is right, there is indeed these flaws amongst us which he outlined well in poem. Time will tell how we repair these flaws.

So how many here are hitting the gym regularly? If so how often do you change your workout program? I am in need of some inspiration.

I am usually working out 2-3 times every week (sometimes I don't work out regularly and I have weeks where I don't workout at all) so it's about 6-8 times a month. My standard workout lasts around 1 hour. Cardio is included here.

I am usually going deadlifts, chins wide, chins narrow, straight bar seated row, barbell curls, hammer curls and reverse curl. Not all of them always.

Any ideas of a refreshing and motivating workout program?

P.S.: I don't take workouts as seriously as a regular workout "freak" and I have no plans to try and imitate Arnold, lol. I am almost 6'4 feet tall so I don't want to look like a orc but I could do with a more exciting and disciplined workout program.

I am going to resume soon...haven't been doing it in so long. I loved my form back then though. And I was stronger then too.

I did it every other day back at the time. And most compound workouts. Because I am not heavy weight. Did 35-45 minutes. No cardio.

If you are bulky and want to get ripped do less compound and do more cardio. Go everyday for 5 days if you aren't sore. And do hour long workouts.

If you are skinny do less time, only freeweight and small number of reps(8-10) for 35 -40 min. Eat a lot.

Our boy @1000 is a body builder. He'll help us out here.

I have been working out for years. Doing boxing too. I am in a good form. It's not about getting ripped. I am well off on that front. It's more about finding the motivation to have a more stable and balanced workout program. Lately I have been skipping workouts and running far too many times and I believe that it's bound in me growing tired with the same workout program and routines. I need something refreshing and motivating.

So I was looking for new ideas in terms of workout programs. I was planning to start a new workout program this February and become more consistent with my training. In short I have lost a bit of the hunger and discipline that I once had which is worrying. Why? Because usually when I am doing physical exercise I fell better mentally and obviously physically. It's much needed here in Northern Europe where the winters are long and the sun is almost absent. I love sunny weather so it's a bit hard after 2-3 months of winter/somewhat cold weather. Lot's of people get a winter depression. I am not there yet, lol, but I guess you know what I am alluding to.

No idea about that but if he can share his experiences then that would be good.



This guy is insane.

:lol:

You can't become like that guy unless your life is about exercise and you are professional boxer. :lol:

He has insane arm strength. For me, honestly I don't have much enthuasiasm to workout when I was back then but I still did it. I didn't like being skinny, I was very skinny then and decided to change it up. That was my motivation. It was hard to keep up with because I had to eat insane amounts of food(from my perspective). Basically eat anything I find or I will start lacking. I couldn't afford bad food days.

I don't aspire to be like him but what he is doing is still very impressive regardless of his small bodyweight and height. The guy is a vegan too!
With proper training and dedication a lot of people could do something similar.

I found some nice abdominal exercises.


Yes, it's all about motivation and dedication. No pain no gain in short. I got to hit the gym early tomorrow morning.:)

Our "gym gang" has kind of abolished itself for the past 1-2 months. Winter has been hard so far.:lol:

Answering your previous question.

I learn Sufism from Al-Hakim al-Tirmidzi (205-320 H), Ibnu Qayim (Madarijus Salikin/ not yet completed), Abu Madyan Al-Maghribi (Al-Hikam) (594 H), Al-Ghazali, Ibnu Ataillah (Al-Hikam). I also like inferiority complex theory of Adler and agree on him that we, as a human, has a motivation to be the best over time. I learn from classic books only.
