I have been interested in taking some t3. I have some stomach fat to lose but the rest of me is lean. Im dieting but not the best, due to the fact I am working the longest hours of my life and sometimes have to eat junk. From my research so far t3 is the way to go but they say I will lose muscle as well. I dont want to do that so what can I do to keep the muscle I already have????
Whats your diet and training like bro?
I train 5-6 days per week for about 1 hour. I landscape so that is my cardio and its lots of hard labor in the sun. My diet is not the best. Lots of chicken breasts, vegetables, peanut butter and jelly, subway subs, fruits, protein bars, (dont forget im on the road working for up to 10 hrs per day)
have you looked into dnp???? i have the same problem(alittle fat around my stomach and loose skin)... t3 i've tried once and did not get the results that everyone told me about. i used cycleon quick ramp up and slow ramping down for 6 and went up to 100mcg and i was also on a cycle to prevent muscle loss. i want to try it again but i want to go higher. is 200mcg safe dosage and if yes what are the correct dossages for it.. good luck with t3 ducati but if were you i would look into dnp.
they have a new invention out.....its called a cooler or something like that. You can pack a bunch of meals in it and it keeps it cool. I'll try and do a search and find a pic of one for you :DQuote:

how was your results with 250mcg on a 7/5 split and what is that exactly????? thanks alot.
If you want to use t3 for fatloss ,you must use test or some other high androgen to prevent muscle loss.
You won't lose muscle mass cycling t3 if you keep yourself in the optimal range, or stack it with clen, anavar, low dose of test if your concerned. READ "testing your thyroid function"

Just think about people who are in a euthyroid (normal) state, which is the optimal range, do they lose muscle everyday? If you want to take AAS with t3 then i've raised the optimal range for increased fat loss without going catabolic, i certainly wouldn't want to go any higher than 98.8, because you'll start to experience hyperthyroid symptoms whether your taking AAS or not.Quote:

Ahh ok.. so 98.8 is the cutoff ...Quote:

Or should I stick to what we discussed...
We'd have to get you to check your BBT for 4 days to see where your thyroid function is at, I don't see any problem at all running t3 and clen to shed some of the unwanted? we can dose you accurately when your ready. I usually find I can lose 1% BF a week when doing the 7/5 split.Quote:

Mallet's T-3 protocol is very effective for losing fat while preserving muscle. However, it's not advised unless diet and training is top notch and 100% clean. In other words PB&J sandwiches aren't going to cut it. I would get diet in order first before you turn to T-3 or a potent fat burner to lose the stomach. If your diet has room for improvement now, more than likely it will get worse before it gets better since you'll likely use the T-3 as a safe net to cheat/slack.
