running low dose T3 for summer contest diet?

[sweed]

how do u guys feel about running a low low t3 dose around 25 mcgs while dieting for my september contest. I will not be running any AS. Would it be useless not pyramiding up then down? I dont want to go to normal-high dosages to keep from loosing too much muscle. Will this low dose still cause muscle lose even with high protein diet?
just seeing if this is a possiblilty because my diet will only be about 10 weeks and strict as hell. thanks

I wouldn't use it unless you need it. If your metabolism drops and you stop losing any fat, while your diet and training being perfect, then you could add 25 mcgs/day and you should be ok.

I wouldnt run any amount of T3 wo gear.

Once you start a cycle on androgens you thyroid prodcution WILL drop.


so, in effect you would be using t3...then hit androgens which will cause a fureht downregulation......

I wouldnt...but that just mo

Estrogen causes an increase in TBG. Use an anti estrogen and you should be ok.

i wasn't gonna run it for 10 weeks, hellllls no

say again?

 

[Makavelli]

say again?

When using AAS that convert to estrogen, such as test or D-Bol, the increase in estrogen will cause an increase in Thyroid Binding Globulin, or TBG. This will bind up thryoid hormone from doing it's job, since it's not in it's free state. Similar to bound test or free test. Therefore by using Arimidex or Proviron there will be less estrogen and therefore your thyroid levels shouldn't drop.

damn bro..i was about to say....WTF! thought sweed new better..so how long you running it bro? or want to run it? what is the proper time frame 4wks right?

I've been running T3 for 3 weeks now at 50mcg a day and have lost some fat, very little muscle, while on no aas. The first week I ran it at 25mcg and then ramped up to 50mcg's. I will start tapering down again next week and then run it for one more week after that.
Which will equal a total of 6 weeks on T3. So far, so good.

notice a drastic change at 50mcgs? i ran t3 for about 4 wks at only 25mcgs...lost considerable amount of fat...or BF...wieght didnt really fluctuate much but inch wise..it was amazing!

 

[Makavelli]

I only employ T3 during pre contest diets when fat loss has stopped due to my metabolism slowing down. This usually happens after about 6 weeks. I'll only drop my calories so much, then I'll add T3.

if i do run it, ill take Makaveli's advice and run it once i start to slow my (loosing) gains. prob a few weeks before competition to help shed some fat.
Mak, would nolvedex be a good choice for anti - e when using t3?

Yes, at 50mcgs I have noticed quite a bit of fat loss, specially around my waist. I have lost 3 pounds on the scale, but that's it. I am very pleased with my results so far.

I'm a big wimp when it comes to my thyroid, so I'm a believer in smaller amounts (.125mcg ed) for longer periods of time, like 8-10 weeks. . . I've never done anything close to 50mcg because that amount should pretty much stop natural thyroid production cold and thyroid recovery can be a real hit-or-miss proposition. But, if your blood assays are coming back fine and it's working for you, then by all means keep doing what you're doing and color me jealous. . .

25mg will not fuck up your thyroid, clen with that would be an amazing stack. once you really get to 75mcg it really started eating muscle for me. 25mcg should really just cut you, why not use some prop/tren with it?

I have been on T3 now for 7 weeks - i tapered up to 100mcg for 5 days then back down but have been at 50mcg for a couple of weeks...i stacked with clen and the stack was wicked...i am thinking staying on cycle for another 3 weeks or so -

becasue my first cycle ends june 12th. and I need at least 12 weeks off , but im gonna give it 4-5 months until my next one. so i can't be on cycle while doing it. next year ill do that though while im gettin ready for (hopefully) the collegiate nationals.

Arimidex is what you want to use. It's not that you need to block the recpetor as is the case with AAS, which is what nolvadex does. It's that you need to keep blood levels of estrogen low. Thyroid hormones float around in your blood, just like all hormones, and therefore this is where the binding takes place. I would combine Arimidex and proviron.
T3 can be safely run for up to 12 weeks. I've had several athletes do it w/o shut down. Just don't add it until you have to.
