Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below Today I talking to something of a fitness model which told me he uses t-3 year around. He only does 12.5 mcg a day as his "base". When he over eats or binges out on junk food, he bumps it up to 50 mcg. He does not do that often though, maybe once a week. Anyone ever heard of doing t-3 as such, year around, and increasing it on cheat days? Sounds damn interesting to me, but I’d be scared of shutting down.
T-3 year around?

Shut down? No. Suppress signifigantly? YES!
I look at Thyroid blood tests all the time and _any amount_ of exogenous thyroid hormone will lower endogenous production! 12.5mcg is actually a high dosage of T3, most endos prescribe 5+5mcg maximum because that is all that is needed for euthroidism for people with severe hypothyroidism (and do not respond to levothyroxine...T4 is almost always the best therapy for hypothyroidism.). Endogenous production is NEVER shut off, but it will be substantially lowered!
He better plan on taking that shit for life. No he won't be shut off, just like people don't get shut off after taking high doses of AAS. But after AAS abuse their testosterone levels will be extremely low.....same deal with the thyroid.

exactly i never go past 6wks on t3
Yes, in most cases thyroid levels rebound, just like test levels come back. The body is quite resilient in most cases. I've never seen a case where thyroid was actually shut down, but sometimes peoples thyroid levels never return to baseline. It's not a risk i'm personally worried about, but some people should be, like this guy.

Uh, what? Nobody ever said that thyroid "shuts down". That would imply that the thyroid doesn't produce any thyroid hormone at all, which never happens unless one has cancer or something. Hormone production is never "shut down" regardless of how much you abuse exogenous hormones - but normal production will so drastically lowered that it minuswell be.
But having the thyroid return to baseline occurs much more rarely like you think. Just like you find this forum littered with people that have extremely low levels of testosterone and can't recover after abusing AAS, many people will have a thyroid that won't return to baseline. Its common, so don't shrug it off.

A messed up thytoid will offer you alot of symptoms Extra dry, flaky skin, shingles,a messed up conversion of protein,heart palpitation, trembling, irregular heartbeat, heart oppression, agitation, shortness of breath, excretion of sugar through the urine, excessive perspiration, diarrhea and such.......tell your friend to keep going he's on the right track!

NO! Which is why I encourage people to NOT use thyroid hormone! Stimulants cause short term thyroid suppression, but not nearly to the extent that exogenous thyroid hormone itself slows down natural production....they (stimulants such as ephedra) are so much safer.

t3 is not something to be toyed with. in my opinion there are only 2 ways to take it. the first way....
.25mcg ed for no longer than 6 weeks. than after that, staying off for about 8-10 weeks to allow your thyroid to get back in check
the other...
the fastest and prolly most efficient way
.25mcg ed for 3 days and raising it by .25mcg until reaching 100mcg and tapering back down, like this
111222333444333222111. the process only takes about 3 weeks, but at the same time you should stay off for about the same time, 8-10 weeks.
t3 is a very good drug to use for any cutting cycle. you can even use it in small amounts towards the end of a bulker to increase protein synthesis. YOU JUST CAN'T ABUSE IT OR YOU'LL BE ON THE SHIT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!!

I have a great idea, lets look for a quick fix because we are undisciplined and lazy. Fucking great. What an ass pirate, it's his own choice, but the sad thing is that other people follow.
