Your t3 experience?

[tha_Waco_kid]

LOL! Yes, many thanks to Led!

The man is a tremendous asset to this community! It's always worthwhile to look back at some of Led's older posts when studying. He has a wealth of knowledge and is not influenced by AAS board mythology.

I have learned a ton from the man, thank you sir Led

i love t3, i always had great results with it, i also ran it with clen 2wks on/2wks off... i did a lot of cardio with it and i was able to get my bf super low, all the super lean guys live on it cuz it works but there is a permanent risk involved with it. i recommend it just don't go over 100mg a day. and 6 wks max

im not saying anyone who uses t3 will fuck up their thyroid permanently. but I live with someone who constantly has to self adjust T3 and armour because of thyroid issues (not bb'ing related) its not fun when its required medically.

I know your not a noob bro so im not gonna get on your case about it. be careful. and for fuck sake dont use clen!

The thyroid is very resilient. There have been studies done with people on t3 for up to 20 years and they're thyroids bounced back within 2 months or so. I typically have only used t3 in low doses with tren, like 12.5mcg-25mcg. With that said I don't think t3 is something that should be used by beginners and there is of course a risk with everything you put in your body. I don't see the need for higher doses of T3. Its just catabolic and shouldn't accomplish anything you can't do with diet.

I will be using T4 with my blast cruise blast pct next year. both blasts will involve tren. ace first, E last.

I recently ran T3 at 50 mcg on cycle. No tapering up or down. I used it 2 days on, 1 day off. I felt great and slept good as I was takin it in the morning before cardio. I felt fine on the off days too. I ran it for 6 weeks. I felt good when I came off too. No lethargy, rebound, fat gain, etc. I believe the 2 on, 1 off schedule keeps your thyroid from adapting as well.

Just my opinion and experience.

forgot to ask what were your before and after results from that run?

I decreased bf by about 2% while continuing to make steady gains. Nothing earth shattering, but muscle measurements have increased while the waistline measurements have decreased.

I wasn't using T3 as some do in the traditional cut (which I think is a waste of T3 and AAS). Rather, I was using it for muscle building qualities (increased protein syn, PTOR, etc). For this purpose, I think it's very effective. And of course the metabolism and waistline effects are a plus.

Per Led's advise, I ran 50 mcg, 2 days on, 1 day off. No tapering up or down. After 2 days, I adjusted and felt great (including sleep and rest). There was a nice, clean, increase in energy, focus and stamina.

2 on, 1 off wasn't the most common dosing of T3 so I was curious as to how I would feel on my off days. However, I felt fine, no lethargy. Led was right, dosing in such a way prevents your thyroid from adapting (to a certain degree).

I scheduled my light cardio on the T3 days. By the way, this fat boy only does 'light' cardio. And on top of that, I usually start the clock when I get out of my truck and start walking toward the hamster wheel. Transportation to and from counts right? But sometimes my schedule would change slightly to 2 days on, 1 day off, 3 days on, 1 day off, etc. due to my workout schedule/program.

I'm not sure if anyone does this next part, but it seemed logical and safe for me:

I ran T3 for the first 6 weeks of my 10 week AAS cycle. I wanted to still be on cycle to safeguard against any possible lethargy or rebound that might occur after the T3 run. Being on cycle would be enough to combat or offset any negatives. I still think this is a decent idea, but I'm not entirely sure it's necessary. I feel like my thyroid rebounded almost instantly.

Overall, I think most AAS cycles are harder on your body than T3 (ran as described above). I plan to run T3 in a similar fashion with each future cycle.

Ran it 6 weeks at 50mcg, 2 on 1 off. Been 2 weeks I'm off and no negative sides as I can tell. Worked very well.

As you probably know, T3 isn't that popular here at EF. T3 can be good (if not great) if used safely/properly and it can be extremely dangerous if misused. But that's true for most AAS, AI's and Serms also. I think sometimes boards just feel its sometimes safer to simply say don't use it and be safe, rather than to explain how to do it safely.

For me personally, in my studies of T3 I found it to be safe and beneficial when used properly. I also believe that your more likely to encounter thyroid problems naturally than with moderate recreational T3 use. Your also more likely to wind up on TRT after cycling AAS than to need permanent thyroid therapy after moderate T3 use. Just look around, nearly everyone (seems like it) is on TRT. And those that take doctor prescribed thyroid meds, had thyroid problems naturally, not from T3 use.

In addition to discussing T3 at length with dozens of lifters who have used it since the 90's, I've also read threads about T3 going back 10+ years and there's one common theme. When used reasonably, the thyroid recovers very well and quickly.

I recently ran T3 at 50 mcg on cycle. No tapering up or down. I used it 2 days on, 1 day off. I felt great and slept good as I was takin it in the morning before cardio. I felt fine on the off days too. I ran it for 6 weeks. I felt good when I came off too.

Do you prefer liquid or tabs?

Looks like a good way to run T3.
