Building muscle mass while on kratom

[Jkray]

My husband is wondering how he can build muscle mass while on kratom since it takes a big portion of his appetite away any suggestions will help thank you

hey IF you find out, let me know.. I'm a big guy, good shape, but over 60 and fighting to hold on at this point.. Drink at least 1 solid Protein Shake every day.

For sure, there's a buzz in the gym over kratom, Search some of the body builder forums etc. Here's the question imo: While the pain relief does help for weight lifting.. Its also possible that kratom's appetite suppression is a negative.. AND also, a de-motivation effect which might lead to skipping workouts? Does that make sense.

The appetite suppression is a huge issue if you need to add weight.

From what I’ve read, it’s 50/50 on whether it helps or not.

During my Kratom honeymoon phase it made me about 20-30 pounds stronger overnight on every exercise and was more relaxed and in the zone.

He will need a 1500 calorie shake and force his meals down. Gotta eat.

I love kratom for working out, makes me put in a lot more effort than if I hadn't taken it. I'm not really into lifting weights, more body workouts, but I've definitely gained more definition in the year or so I've been using kratom.

About appetite on kratom, in my experience, sometimes I'll get what I refer to as "kratom munchies" which has me binging on food, other times my appetite will be completely gone. It's weird.

I've taken kratom before, during, and after workouts.

Don't know that kratom helps me or is a negative for my workouts. Just can't tell, no matter how aware I try to be.

I've read that some workers take kratom to assist in physical work and stamina so, there must be something to it.

I’ve had some bad experiences taking Kratom before working out (cramping, nausea in the gym) - but surprisingly, Kratom rarely suppresses my appetite. It used to. That being said, taking my dose right after working out, is my favorite! I leave the gym, take my dose, shower, and then have my protein shake. The shake at the 20 minute mark kicks my dose up, and it’s my morning routine. I used to not be able to think about eating after my burn. Now, it even makes me hungrier sometimes. I have no clue why this changed for me, but am happy it did! If it kills our appetite, make sure you force at least a protein shake down. I’ve put on about 12lbs in the last 12-13 months of mostly muscle all while burning 2-3 times a day.
