Irfan trains generally don’t last as long as in the off-season, but they are usually more intense; having more drop sets, pushed reps, and super sets. Irfan believes that most of the potential gains from strength training come from big lifts such as:
- Squats
- Deadlifts
- Military presses
- Farmer’s walks
- Bench press
- Bent over rows
Irfan Asghar Diet Plan

Irfan varies his diet depending on his current objectives. He’ll eat healthily and comfortably in the off-season, giving himself the freedom to spoil in cheat meals several times a month and protein powder.
But, during the in-season, things get much more rigid. During this period, Irfan cuts out all processed foods, sugars, oily foods, and everything that is calorie-dense. This means he’ll only eat lean, low-calorie foods, including lots of green vegetables and salad.
