I slept for roughly 8 hours. No hunger pangs so far. Tiredness and lethargy came in waves, but the electrolytes helped made me feel normal again. I did 3-5 sets of deadlifts, shoulder press, and bicep curls. I did 8 minutes of cardio on the bike afterwards. I am a student and study remotely, no job.
Goal: To keep on fasting until I think I should stop.

Answer
Don’t lift weights if you’re not going to eat some time after.
The reason we weight lift is to break down the muscle fibers so they build back bigger and stronger, but they can only recover the damage you caused to them during your workouts if you eat and get enough protein post workout.
One time isn’t going to cause you to lose all your muscle but it’s bad practice if you want to maintain what you have.
Good luck with the rest of your fast.
