T3 FAQ: Everything you need to know about T3

[gwl9dta4]

No the difference is whether a substance is catabolic because of it's chemical structure or because of a POSSIBLE secondary effect.

T3 is catabolic because of a possible side effect of too big a calorie deficit. Cortical steroids will directly catabolise muscle mass regardless of calorie intake.

It may shock many people to know that T3 is NOT catabolic per se. Corticosteroids are catabolic drugs that attack muscle tissue directly; T3 does not. It is a very potent calorie burner and it does not discriminate between carbohydrates, protein and fat. Unlike DNP, it has no protein sparing properties. T3 is also more likely to burn muscle than fat in lean users (10-12% BF), but this can be said for any extreme drop in caloric intake and uptake such as starvation diets (Caloric intake <10 X BW).


This whole paragraph contradicts itself. It's not catabolic but it burns muscle??? You are comparing corticosteroids with T3 in the wrong way. Cortescosteroids are catabolic because that's what they do. T3 is used for something else, but is catabolic. It burns protein and muscle.


Definition of catabolic

This term is often used in reference to the breakdown of muscle. Dieting is catabolic because it causes muscle loss. The word catabolic can, however, be used to refer to any process in which a complex substance is converted into simpler substances. Lipolysis, for example, is a catabolic process because your fat stores are broken down into free fatty acids and glycerol


So, if T3 breaks down protein and muscle it is catabolic.

T3 catabolism can be avoided by say, eating 6000 calories. If you ate that many calories you wouldn't lose any muscle or any weight for that matter.

Many people think that if they take T3 they will lose lbs and lbs of muscle but it's simply not true. There's a myth surrounding this drug.

That's why you have guys asking; "Is 750mg of Test enough to stop muscle lose on T3?"

All I'm saying is that it's not that bad and it can be easily avoided.

So technically, you can say it's catabolic, but it's not any more catabolic than a strict diet.

My point exactly.

BigAndy,
I am on week 2 of my cycle and i was going to start T3 at week 5 and end on week 10 which at week 10 I am stopping my EQ and Test but i was going to throw in prop eod at 100mg till week 13 so I could start my clomid soon after that instead of being on nothing for 3 weeks. MY question is from what i am reading should i start the T3 instead at week8 and run it to week 13? Or with what i have planned be ok to go with as long as i keep my diet and cardio in check for that next month and a half or so?? Thanks for the help

I don't recommend that people run T3 with steroids that will shut you down because of the potential "double" crash. What you have is fine running it w8-w13 would be better so you can start both post cycle therapy at once.

good read bro..just like the Clen...but let me ask you something...i thought clen would loose its properties after the 18 day mark....you say to cycle it with T3 for 30 days?....im running right now a winstrol/clen/t3...havnt started the t3 yet though

 

[str8cubano]

another thing...your running T3 for what...5-6 weeks? i thought t3 was not supposed to be run for more than 5 weeks?...Huckster gave me a t3 cycle to run and it looked like this:

1111222233334444333322221111 which the Numbers represent the number of tabs/day, and it was for a total of 28 days...why would this be more effective/less effective than your example cycle of t3...

what about guggulsterones?

hi andy and all other vets,

what are your thoughts on using guggulsterones (metabolic thyrolean, guggulbolic,...) either instead of t3 or after a t3 cycle to accelerate the normalization of the bodys own t3 production?

do you think it might help?

cheers
