HCG/CLEN/T3 cutting cycle or am I nuts ;)

[Kellykel]

I've dont a straight clen cycle with goo results- this was about a year ago when I was getting ready for a figure show. I was running it with all sorts of other stuff--var, winnie, halo, cypionate- I know that was alot of AAS but that's what happens when you take advice from your BB boyfriend.
(which caused my voice to deepen slightly--thank god nothing else!)

Anyway, I was thinking of running a t3/clen cycle and adding hcg injections (I heard this resets your metabolism). I feel that all the extreme dieting/training/AAS use has really messed up my metabolism. If I eat one potato chip I gain 5 lbs.

Am I going too far here?

Background: Figure competitor (no shows planned at the moment), 133 lbs now, about 22%bf (yuk!), 5'2" 37 yo..cardio 5 days a week, weights 3-4 days a week

It seems like I can gain weight VERY easy if I stray in the slightest amount from diet. I eat clean 95% of the time, but being that I am not in show mode, I am not AS strict with diet (by that I mean weighing everything that goes in my mouth etc)

So here is what i plan on doing:


Clen
20/20/40/40/60/60/80/80/80/80/80/80/80/80 (14 days) then 2 wk off then back on.

T3 (42days - weeks)
12.5/12.5/12.5/25/25/25/37.5/37.5/37.5/50(for 24 days)/37.5/37.5/37.5/25/25/25/12.5/12.5/12.5

HCG 200iu ED for 23 days IM


Any advice?

Thanks!

*Note- I do know the importance of diet in this whole equation..and plan to stick to clean eating throughout the cycle

Thanks in advance!

Hi

I am asking something similar elsewhere new to the forum but can't get any answers

Currently on T3 @ 100mg a day at the moment cardio 6x week weights 3x a week diet good low fat low carbs

I am due to collect first doses of HGH tonight and currently losing about 3lb a week weight at the moment have a long way to go but wanted to know if this is a good result or is it worth trying HGH for better weight loss result as I say I am new and any advice would be great

I'm doing some research for my GF on this as well. She send me this abstract, but I can't make out if it was good or bad.

Abstract
Ample clinical evidence indicates that women with thyroid disorders frequently exhibit menstrual disturbances and impaired fertility. In order to characterize the nature of thyroid hormone action in the ovary, the direct effects of triiodothyronine (T3) were investigated in vitro using a culture system of human luteinized granulosa cells. The presence of T3 receptors was also searched in such cells. The cell cultures were maintained in serum-free Ham's F-10 medium in the absence or presence of hCG, with or without graded doses of T3 (10(-11)-10(-7) M), and cell proliferation (assessed by DNA content) as well as cell function (cAMP accumulation and progesterone secretion) determined. T3 alone stimulated cell proliferation. hCG, on the other hand, was anti-mitogenic and T3 combined with hCG inhibited cell growth even further, reaching levels below those reached by either control or hCG alone. Exposure of cells to T3 markedly enhanced hCG-induced cAMP accumulation. Addition of 1-methyl-3-isobutylxanthine (MIX) abolished the cAMP-stimulatory effect elicited by T3, suggesting that the thyroid hormone may act, as MIX, by inhibiting phosphodiesterase. T3 was devoid of any influence on basal progesterone secretion, but inhibited hCG-induced secretion of the steroid. The effects of T3 are not accounted for by changes in cell number since the influence of thyroid hormone on cAMP and steroid secretion were expressed per microgram DNA.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
