T3 FAQ: Everything you need to know about T3

Re: what about long term low dose???

for example lets say you gp on a three moth starvation diet(10xcals weight) would a three month low dose of 6.5-12.5 mg be bad in anyway post diet?? or would it be better to run that low dose through the diet itself??

I don't think you need three months anyway. Natural dieting(without ECA) is very tough for one reason: at one point (for me it's 3-4 weeks) your body stops burning fat because your thyroid production has slowed down considerably; basically your metabolism goes to hell.

That's where low doses of T3 would be great.

No drugs for 3 weeks and follow it by my low dose T3 cycle for 5 weeks.

I don't think the Yohimbine would be a good idea for some people actually; I'm on clen/T3 right now and I'm having trouble breathing. I can't imagine adding another stimulant.

andy, not sure if you stated this or not, but how much cardio should you do? you stated high intensity cardio, but how much? the more the better im guessing?

Well yes, the more the better whithin reason. 3-4 times a week is sufficient, but you could do 5 times a week, 15-20 mins.

This is the BEST way to speed up your metabolism naturally and is crucial post cycle.

Bigandy, what if after tapering down from my current dose I continue to run t-3 at say 12.5 mcg ed for the remaining month of my cycle? My t-3 cycle and my test/winny cycle would end at the same time but I would end up being on T-3 for a total of 2 months. will that be too long or would that be a better alternative to stopping a month before my cycle is complete?

You can stay on 12.5mcg for 3 weeks and then down to 6.25mcg for the last week.

Then follow my Post Cycle Therapy, especially in regards to the amount of carbs you consume and High intensity cardio.

Is this your first time with T3? If so you may experience a really bad crash mentally and possibly physically.

does everyone experience a mental crash and physical crash?

 

[GARAGE GORILLA]

This is my first time on t-3. I am really impressed with the results thus far. What exactly do you mean by a physical crash? I haven't really experienced any sides other than feeling a little lethargic in the begining but I am feeling pretty good now. I haven't noticed any decrease in strength at all but I do look a little flat.

When you stop T3, and you've used 25mcg or more, you enter the lovely state of hypothyroidism. Your body stopped producing T3 because you were getting it from an outside source. Your body shut's down. It's similar to a steroid cycle where you need clomid to stimulate test production.

Unfortunately, the only "clomid" we have for T3 is L-tyrosine which is mediocre at best.

You need to follow the Post Cycle Therapy for T3 or you will face a "physical" crash, ie massive FAT gain. You could end up adding more fat than you lost. You are hypothyroidic for at least 4 weeks and up to 6 weeks for normal cycles. You need to adjust your food intake and add High Intensity Cardio.

Mental crash is simply depression associated with low thyroid levels.
