Does t3 reduce androgen sensitivity?

[WindowCleaner]

I take 3 grains of armour thyroid (equivalent to about 47 mcg of T3) as a replacement dose and that puts me about .4 over the top of the free T3 range. I had to go about a week without it and I noticed my body got hairier, my strength went up, my patience got shorter, and I felt amazingly good. I got back on my thyroid medicine and I began to lose these benefits.

Has anyone else noticed this or can relate? I havent heard of anyone else experiencing this, but I am going to lower myself to 2 grains of thyroid a day and see what happens. Might of been just a coincidence.

t3 is very catabolic, eats away lean muscle tissue as well as bf... this is the reason it shouldn't be run for more than 2 weeks at a time...

so the answer to your question is... i don't know, but t3 will reduce strength and energy levels

Yeah I think the thyroid medicine was lowering my glycogen which explains why I instantly got stronger. I also remember I was breaking out, reminded me of when I was in puberty. If anything atleast this taught me even a moderate dose of T3 lowers your glycogen.

I dunno if I agree with the only 2 weeks at a time thing. Shouldn't be run without something anabolic along side it, sure. Unless you are clinically hypothyroid of course.
