DNP for PCT

[steelmass]

Has anyone had success using DNP during PCT? I have read mixed reviews on whether DNP is truly muscle sparing and allows for lower t3 levels post cycle which spares muscle or if the aforementioned is simply untrue.

From what I've read, DNP cleans your receptors. I won't fuck with the shit again. Too much for me to handle. I own a const. company so I'm outside all day and I still work half my time on the crew. Just too many safety factors against me.

Ya thats what I've heard. I was plannin on running it during my week off which will be week 1 PCT. Any other experiences ? ?

I've never heard of dnp having anti-catabolic properties, common sense would say a metabolism enhancer (arguebley other then clen/ephedrine) would be quite catabolic, especially during pct.

Fonz had a write up on this same subject advocating the use of DNP post cycle - I believe it was deemed to be inaccurate.

DNP is NOT a pct drug. It lowers the rate of T4 toT3 conversion. No logic whatsoever.

The logic is that T4 to T3 conversion occurs at a superphysiological rate during PCT which results in muscular atrophy. If one were to bring this to normal rates with DNP - then atrophy would be less likely to occur. The theory behind it sounds convincing, however it could simply be false.

No one on this entire board has ever done it ?

Its a plain fact that DNP inhibits protein syntesis.

I'm sorry, but how does dnp inhibit protein synthsis? I have never read that anywhere.

I have done alot of research involving DNP and I have never read this. Any journals supporting this claim? DNP is known for its fat-burning while muscle-sparing properties.

Can u please tell us about ur DNP research?

Here's some research... "Selected Metabolic Poisons"

DNP kills, even though I wish it didn't...

I did a google on it and found this in support of DNP post cycle:

Post-Steroid Cycle Use of DNP

One of the primary causes of muscle breakdown after a steroid cycle is suppressed TSH. Anabolic steroids suppress TSH, which in turn lowers T3 and T4 production by the thyroid gland. The reduction in TSH is one reason that anabolic steroids are such excellent muscle builders.

Soon after the completion of a steroid cycle, TSH up-regulates, which in turn super-stimulates the thyroid. This excess stimulation causes the thyroid to produce above normal levels of T3 and T4. This increase in thyroid hormones is highly catabolic and is the main reason why people lose muscle post-cycle.

Athletes have learned that they need to restrict T3 production post cycle to prevent muscle loss. A novel approach to achieving this goal is the use of DNP. About 80% of the body’s endogenous T3 is produced from the metabolically inactive T4 to the metabolically active T3. The de-iodinase enzyme is responsible for this conversion. It literally cleaves off an iodine molecule.
By ingesting 200mg DNP/day, the athlete can correct the over stimulated Thyroid, returning T3 levels back to normal. DNP directly blocks the production of T3 from T4 via the de-iodinase enzyme.

As a bonus, the reduction in your ATP stores because of the DNP is counter acted by an increase in the oxidation of triglycerides as an energy source. The benefit is the elimination of any potential fat-gain from the low post-cycle testosterone levels. And as DNP is non-hormonal, it has no effect on HPTA recovery.

After cessation of DNP use post-cycle, the athlete will reap the benefits of the "Anabolic Rebound Effect" which further lends credence to the use of DNP as a post-cycle ancillary for the elimination of any post-cycle muscular losses.
