Hey HerbM,

I'm Muslim, so I will be partaking in the month of Ramadan, which will be a full month fast from sunrise to sunset.. The time that its coming around this year for where I live will be approx 6am-9pm. I will not eat or drink anything during this period.

at 9:00 pm, I'll eat like a madman so I wont be able to train till atleast 11 pm, which is too late for me, since I'll have work the next morning.

Thats why I figured I take a month off to develop things that I might not have had time for or possibly not focused on while in the gym.

Since I'm a beginner, the month lay off might have a huge impact on me when I get back, but I just want to spend that time to learn.

I might just spend a lot of time reading about technique or studying various fights and training videos as well.
