First cut cycle - advise please

[aznboy79]

I'm starting my first cut cycle (second cycle total) in a week and was wondering if there was anything I should change?

week 1-6 75mg fina eod
week 1-6 50mg winny ed (oral)
week 1-8 250mg sust/wk
week 1-6 12.5-50mcg T3 ed

clomid post-cycle (300mg/1, 100mg/2-14, 50mg/15-21)
600mg ALA ed
lots of water

I'm currently 5'9, 175lbs and ~14-15% bf. I lift four days a week and do cardio 2-3x a week. Protein intake is about 200-240g on average, and cals will be dropped to <1800. I'm thinking of just doing 12.5mcg T3 a day (BigAndy's recommendation) - would that be effective at all or should I go up to 50mcg as planned? Thanks!

i think you should keep that low level of t3..no reason to go overboard on that...you can easily mess up your thyroid. cycle looks good..if you are really sensitive to androgens you might need some liquidex/arimidex to keep the water off from the sust. but most people arent.

So you'd recommend just doing 12.5mcg T3 all the way through?

JC's advice is spot on.

yup...no need to go over board....doing that will just make you lose muscle.

Sorry guys but I will have to disagree with ya.

I have been hypothyroid since age 12 and I am 40 now and I know a fair bit about the thyroid. I do not recommend T3 use really, sorry....I know of several dudes that screwed themselves up for life with even low doses. This has been my experience.
I think the tyroid is much more sensitive than HPTA

Try NYC instead. Also up the aerobics a bit.

If I decide to ditch the T3, would it be ok to take an eca on workout days?

I'm getting the 300mg ALA tabs from Nutriteam..can I take two caps at the same time before a meal or should I split it?

You can go ahead and take two caps before each meal.

No problem taking 600mgs of ALA at one dose.....Ive used up to 1200 depending on how many carbs are in my meal.
