Took 2.5g Kratom, and...
« on: November 08, 2021, 07:50:14 PM »
...lost one pound AFTER eating a giant meal.

[Green Kratom - I don't know the particulars, but my friend owns the Head Shop across town, and he sources good stuff]

You need to understand, I don't just lose a pound. Let alone after eating a meal that likely weighed around one pound.

I bought a 20g pack about 2-3 weeks ago, and took a few grams, then put it away.

I didn't think much of it, to be honest.

Meanwhile, this time it settled nicely, and I lost that weight.

I don't know what to make of it.

Have any unvaccinated Getbiggers tried this?

I'm just south of 180-lb in these shots, taken today:

Why do you have so many cleaning products on your toilet.

1) toilet bowl cleaner
2) bath tub cleaner
3) windex for the mirror

at the most.. or hire a Mexican maid

you may want to train the rest of your body like back and legs.

Over developed arms.. which makes me think every pulling exercise you do, you pull with your bicep hence the lack of any back development.

I took another 2.5 grams at 10:40pm, and I'm down another 1.6-lb now.

Zero chance this is a scale discrepancy or anything else - since starting my new diet, I've been rather [extremely] meticulous at checking my weight.

I count every calorie now too, using an app called "Lose It!" [Calorie counting app].

So yeah, go figure.

Man, I've been on under 50 grams of carbs a day for the past f*cking week, and I just take some opiate knockoff and lose multiple pounds without so much as taking a piss?

Unreal.

No wonder everyone relies on drugs in this business.

For a second, I was wondering if fat-burners primarily suppress appetite. But no. Something else must be going on. As in - it's literally burning fat actively...not just making you eat less.

I literally can't eat less than I am now without being nutrient deprived at this point.

I doubt it makes you lose weight, but it does reduce my appetite.

For me it just helps me relax and sleep.

I have green, white and red.

Green is supposed to give you energy, but i don't notice anything.

I can say the red makes you tired and sleep well.

Who knows, it's not studied that well yet, but i definitely haven't lost any weight from it.

Don't take it too often. I know people who had withdrawal symptoms from taking it for a few weeks.

Autistic setup, I guess!

Half this stuff I don't even use. The only issue is - I hate not having it there when I need it.

My policy is usually this: if I use it once every 15 months...I'll keep it.

Regarding my legs - I have absolutely under-trained them over the years. Because I compete in u-80kg Strongman contests [about 175-lb], I generally maintain ok strength - 385x2 below parallel squats / competition form.

My back...that's just genetic though. It sucks.

Do you mind elaborating on your point there?

Do you suppose I could eliminate biceps from back by training biceps to exhaust prior to back training? Even with bad back genetics, I'd be happy to give any tips a shot.

I feel like the only good muscle group I have is delts... everything else is average of below average. My chest is the worst part [much worse than back. And I've worked my ass off on chest...I hate that my chest doesn't respond.

The only thing I haven't tried to get better pecs is to drop a my solid 5% in body fat. I feel if I could reduce my body fat by 5%, my pecs might show.

I am running the risk of getting flat though. Usually I lose too much muscle when I cut weight.

LASTLY...I have a requisition form for blood work - after that, I would be open to using something.

Even Gaspari SIZEON - excellent product. Not sure how available it is in Canada these days though.

Guys I work with really like it.  I'm so content with my edible regimen that I just don't see a need to try it.  Yet.

It's a pretty bad drug. I used 500 grams over a couple of months. No withdrawals but not many positives either.

For an opiate like buzz without taking opiates try Tianeptine. It's an antidepressant that has some nice effects when dosed a bit higher. Better that Kratom at least.

JUST SAY NO BRO.

Reality sucks but I no longer piss away my money,rob people, or puke on my shoes.

Kratom  LOL .....sounds like a pussy drug anyway...if you inssit on getting high, buy some good Pink Peruvian Flake Cocaine.

If I get crazy, I have a doctors precribed script for shitty generic Valium/Diazapam...........I could take the whole fucking bottle and still be an anxiety ridden tense bastard.

The cleaning supplies belong under the counter not on it.  And just get a maid to clean the grout, whatever you're doing isn't working.

I went to college for one semester in the North Country of NY. One of the guys on my dorm floor did acid and gave me the full tour of what happened. Uh, no way. That was in the tail end era of Quaaludes too. I really couldn't understand why people took any of that shit.

Bis Tris and Shoulders look good just need more back and legs which comes with more weight. Your kratom theory makes no sense though you can't just magically lose weight taking kratom. It is supposed to be like an opiate not a stimulant but regardless shit is junk no idea why you would take that. Try legal delta 8 if you want an metabolic aid.

Thanks for any input on this.

I've trained for a long time, but I've never legitimately tried to get lean.

I feel all of this is hopeless without gear. I'd like to run something. If I do, I will be open about it. I'm not like everyone else who lives in hiding. A friend of mine did a 4.5 "transformation" to sell his personal training services on Instagram, and it was all drugs.

Below are some Ironage shots [from 2006]. I was around 192-lb here.

Van Bilderass can tell you more.  ;D

^ Oh shit, that last photo must have been when I was on Gaspari SIZEON. I see it in the background there.

I'm not sure if any place in Thunder Bay carries it.

Has anyone tried SizeOn since Gaspari Nutrition claimed bankruptcy? Just curious if the formula changed - if I can even get it at all here in Canada! Last I checked, nowhere in my city had it.

Dont listen to this moron. He has used a cane for 20 years and is anorexic. Also, claims he was in the army but used a cane??? can you follow.. no one can.

More weight and pulling with your biceps is not going to help develop your back.

This guy is a bit of a tool but it has some pointers on execution

More weight as in bodymass obviously the mind muscle connection is always important but his back is bigger in the pics where he is 192lbs

I'd rather take edibles but i get randomly drug tested once a year, sometimes twice.

I do have some gummies that i'll take a few times a year when i go camping or something.

Kratom just makes me relax. If you take a lot of it you get a pretty good buzz, but i don't care for that aspect of it.

THC is far superior. ;D

For a legal drug, Kratom is pretty good.  Safe and somewhat effective, although the withdrawals from dependency are no joke.

Really, it shines as an opiate replacement therapy such as Suboxone or methadone.  Its a partial agonist of the opiate receptor, meaning that it binds to the receptor and blocks other opiates from binding--such as the addict who finds himself in a moment of weakness and shoots dope.  Unlike suboxone or methadone, you can’t OD on it.  But since it is a natural substance and can’t be patented and sold for profit, it’ll never find mainstream acceptance for this purpose.  Sad!
