Yes! That perfectly sums up what I’ve been experiencing with Khan ST1. It’s really something else—powerful stuff.
By the way, have you ever tried running the subs with a 2 days on / 1 day off schedule? I once did 5 days on, and the results were surprisingly good.
So, I finally realized the spiritual purpose of why I went to Saudi in 2023. I have been pushing myself out of my comfort zone as a leader and analyzing different types of talent I can lead. I invested/bet on a local athlete that is now headed to the world championship while on my mission, and as it turns out, we are on track for the next Olympics, which will be taking place in our home. The governor just announced it. I am taking up Marketing on a whim, and it’s all coming together as to why. He proposed that I be his Sports Agent (which would be interesting without a law degree) since I was there before any wealthy investors were there. I risked so much good money on a bet that could have gone south. So I am carrying that same confidence forward into a business.
There are daily demands, however. I have to keep my mental health top-notch, and I have to be a bit more aggressive and “alpha.” I paid for a #1 athlete and got what I paid for, and a #1 athlete will require a matching agent. I’m doing so much shit that’s outside my comfort zone, and I feel this feeling in my belly that’s kinda tense, but all it means is… DO THAT SHIT! NO HESITATION! COME ON! So… a byproduct of Khan, ladies and gentlemen.
So, I think it’s time to pivot back to Khan + EoG + Emperor Executive. I was doing Emperor, Love Bomb, Emperor Executive, when said athlete dropped into town and was like, wtf man… you’re Julius Caesar… get this shit together (I’ve been going through depression for a few months). It was a tough, candid talk that this is serious business, and I’m responsible for “2 and a half gold medals,” and I need to get my shit together if I want to build this because it’s real.
Ironically , the first time I read about customs on the forum was “Ecstasy of Khan” (Ecstasy of Gold + Khan). Summer 2019
stage 1 full loops are breaking me damn, coupled with khan black st1 half loops
Depression hits like a truck, want to quit the comfortable job I’m in right now.
Time moves way slower, makes everything agonizing. Questioning myself and my beliefs at basically all times now.
just looking at my phone makes me dizzy, I think back to the times where I felt fully realized and was actually social, compared to the selfmade prison I’m in right now, and I’m only 25 so it’s not like I’m stuck like this forever. But DAMN, this month is going to be tough.
At what point do I move onto st2?
You should run only 5 minutes of khan or less if it’s fucking you so hard hahaha
Run shorter loops.
You can go 1 cycle per stage or imo smarter way is to run it as long as ur subconscious feels its needed then at some point u will naturally want to move to next stage with clear intuition.
With a faulty foundation going to next stages is like driving a bicycle on highway when u just recently learned to use the bicycle
Definitely should shorten the loop. The longest loop of ST1 I ran was 7 minutes and it was face punching recon. 3-5 minutes is good enough.
Does someone who completed DRR still need to go through Stage 1: Total breakdown?
New Total Breakdown is very smooth, progressive, and very pleasant and I’m a baby with healing. It’s a great experience the real test is ST3, that’s where it might get tough.
abso
lutely
NOT!
I do agree it is VERY hard, but I need this in my life right now. I made a different system about how to use khan and khan black, unlike other subs I do not use it every other day, I do not even count the days, I do a full loop of both and let it see where it gets me and what I learn from it, when I feel the time is right, I go for another loop of each, it could be a week, 2, or even a month between loops.
for now, this works for me.
I like your approach. Since when have you been doing it? I may try it out later on
To be fair your post looked like you hated that experience so ofcourse people will let you know the way to lessen the recon when you’re saying you’re in angony and get depression. You could have said you don’t mind and no one would say anything. If it works for you, great. But really… if anyone here would come and say these things, people will try to help. Maybe someone doesn’t know the alternatives. No ones attacking you here. People are trying to look out for you. Next time make it more clear that you are fine with the way you do subs in the first post and you won’t have to hear others input.
Dude, all is good, I did not feel attacked by them and I hope I did not come off as attacking haha, their responses are definitely fair and I appreciate their concerns but I am standing on business and going through the trial of fire, and making sure everyone knows I’m taking it head on 
I did express that it is a very hard sub, and it IS, but that is EXACTLY what I need.
To the commenters, If I came off as aggressive, I apologize and that was not my intention I am glad you all worry about me, however I accepted this journey and I will complete it no matter how many spikey fields I have to crawl through.
I think after 2 loops (once was a full khan, half khan black, second was full khan, 1.5minutes khan black) I really gave it time and figured the bloom phase hits later on into the week
(Imagine a rollercoaster going up slowly and then down, when it goes down, that is the bloom phase, but if you reload the first part, you just end up with a steeper and steeper rise. Atleast, that’s how it feels)
I also think that this type of looping method might work best for people that their life is in a slower pace than others’, lets say your work is a bit boring and tedious, one loop every other day will make your brain go “why am I so slow, why am I not progressing” and might sabotage your current stability, whilst one loop per request/feel will allow you to handle those feelings in a more composed and stable manner, in a way that will work and fuse better with your own life.
But again, this is just my own feeling and experience, by all means I am not spreading this as gospel and what might work for me may not work for you. Is it worth giving it a try? I would say yes
No problem I wish you the best man
Thanks my friend
I believe in you, lol.
Small update, barber ruined my hair, ended up going buzzcut. Fits me surprisingly well, feel much more masculine
