Thinking about T3... Have a few questions

[copaseet]

I just started a 16 week test E cutting cycle @ 500mg a week, with a 4 week anavar kickstart at 40mg per day.

I wanted to add T3 as I find losing weight has become a challenge at 38.. my questions..


1. What is the proper dose?
2. How long can I run it for?
3. What are the real world side effects?
4. Will there be a rebound effect when I get off?

 

[snowpatrol123]

1. anywhere from 12-150+mcg/d
2. indefinitely
3. thyroid shut down, muscle wasting (catabolism), increased hunger, lethargy, elevated heartrate...etc
4. yes

What kind of weight loss per week could one expect?

I've read the thyroid shutdown is only temporary if you do like a short 6 week cycle.

How much rebound would there be? All things being equal if you loose 20lbs... How many would be gained on a rebound?

Cycle or not I would not venture over 100mcg. I always pyramid t3. Keep your water intake good and realize it's not a magic drug. No way to tell how much you will lose a week if you eat like shit. Besides like quick muscle equals quick muscle loss- quick fat loss equals quick fat on.

@AB... Is this the 6 week pyramid?... How much do you loose?

 

[snowpatrol123]

The weight loss is going to hinge at least 90% on your deficit (diet/cardio)...I'd be surprised if T3 alone could nuke more than a pound or two over the course of a month (and that would imply eating perfectly at maintenance which is rare)

I've been thinking of trying T3 too.. Subbed for more info.

20 lbs by using T3? How much extra fat are you carrying on you?

Most people make around 25mcg of natural t3, ive ran it at 30mcg once and at 60mcg once. At 60mcg with cardio and diet it strip me good over 6 weeks but I lost muscle at 60mcg if I ran it again I believe id stay at around 40mcg and run it longer. I lost near 100lbs on my bench the time I ran it at 60mcg so ive been scared of it ever since but the most common dose ive seen after my experience is around 40mcg. It also made me very irritable at times, I know my attitude suffered a few times.

your thyroid is the most resilient organ in the body. you can blast a super high dose of t3 for 12 months and your natural levels are balanced back and with a normally functioning thyroid in just a couple of days. the worst side effect youll have is the first day or 2 youll be a little sleepy.

Xyster, were you running AAS too and if so what dose were you running and do you think if you increased your AAS dose the muscle lost would have been minimized>?

It is always best to run something that preserves muscle (anabolic) while using any cutting drugs...the body does not care what it scavenges and will readily scavenge muscle unless something prevents it.

A low dose like 40 while on aas would probably be ok. I'd run something strong. I plan on trying it again but with test, winstrol, desoxy test.

 

[anzel]

So at 60 mcg you lost muscle..... were you running AAS?

 

[bonexyster]

Yes trt test low dose tren I think 40mg. Tren doesn't work well for me, if I'd been running something eles I think it'd been much better. I think tbol winstrol or high dose var stacked with S4 would probably give good results.

 

[anzel]

Yeah prob those doses just werent enough?? Test at 300-400 min is prob needed. I will have to re-read Austinites T3 post again.....

if we go by the old tren is 5x more anabolic than test...then he was running about 400mg worth of steroids...which fits within your 300-400mg bracket
