View Full Version : Formula for Cycling and Dosing T3
CYCLEON

One subject that keeps coming up that many people have difficulty is with properly dosing and tapering T3.
Now while THERE IS NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER for the persistent rumor that improper t3 use will shut down your thyroid forever, it is also not something to take lightly and like all AAS, should be respected. Ive come up with a formula based on the research Ive done, and both theory as well as practical experience point that it should work well for your fat burning goals as well as give you a proper taper so that the thyroid is able to recover its normal function as quickly as possible. The key to this is having a long enough taper coming off of it. Since origionally designing this formula some will note that I have taken 5% off of the ramp period and placed it toward the back taper insted - this is because I have become convinced that in the presences of exogeneous supplementation, the thyroid shuts down fairly quickly and so the better to spend that time on the taper down.
NOTE 1: If you have never used T3 before, it is suggested that you lessen your constant time and increase your ramp up period to determin your reaction to t3 before heavy use.
NOTE 2: Synthroid (t4) may also be used to good effect with this formula but of course the maximums are diffferent - the ratio of t4:t3 is about 4:1 or 4.5:1 so 100mcg of t3=about 400-450mcg of t4
________________________________________
CYCLEONS T3 CYCLE FORMULA
Its pretty simple really – 5/40/55 is a time-based formula whereby X% of the time of the entire cycle should be spent in one of 3 periods – up/constant/down:
RULE – 1
5% of the time is spent ramping up to your maximum
40% of the time is at your maximum
55% of the time is spent ramping down to cessation (nothing)
RULE – 2
Each up/down period is further broken down into equal segments for each dosing level with the emphasis being the dosing level toward the end of the period.
RULE – 3
I dont ever recommend taking more than 125mcg per day and 100mcg will do for most. Above this amount is quite catabolic without hefty concurrent doses of AAS. There are those who advocate higher doses and it is feasible to do so but IMO the effectiveness gains above 100-125mcg are not really worth it.
________________________________________
Example 1
An example for a 20-day cycle with a max of 100mcg ED using 25mcg pills. Calculate the number of days of each period first (Notice that where the up/down period is unable to be broken into 3 exactly equal parts, the extra is put on the dose level at the last part of the period. (.5) means 1/2 a pill or 12.5mcg
UP CONST DOWN
4 days 6days 10days
5% 40% 55%
2 44444444 33222111.5.5.5
______________________________
Example 2
An example for a 60-day cycle with a max of 125mcg ED using 25mcg pills. Notice that where the up/down period is unable to be broken into 3 exactly equal parts, the extra is put on the dose level at the last part of the period.
UP CONST DOWN

Good info bro. Personally, T3 frightens me. I don't like the idea of shutting down natural production of so many things in my body. Maybe if you could use T3 effectively (to a degree) without shutting down natural production but that's tough to gauge properly as everyone's different. 12.5mcg ED could work but who can say? BTW, you're a homosexual.:)

IG - u can see that im already into it with fonz at EF - I dont think that its neccessary if youve done it often but like DNP - not so wise fo rnewbies IMO (but i could be wrong) - i normally do 5/40/55 - which is closer to what fonz advocates but i dont spike it to 150mcg so i dont think the taper has ot be quite as long. (again, could be wrong)

Fonz and I have just had this big fight over it at EF - he and warlobo prefer a quicker upramp and spiking to 150mcg ED (but only for advanced users)-
the upshot is a preferred 5/40/55 (instead of 20/30/50) for a max of 100mcg for newbies or a shorter cycle where the backend cant be tapered as long or - for a max of 150mcg for advanced users (which is actually if u look, about 5% ramp, 42% over or at 100mcg, 53% back end so about 5/40/55) the main difference is that you continue to spike up during the middle phase where the other stays constant.
Unless ur advanced tho i would keep it at 100mcg ED and down - tho i might go with the higher spike my next shot.

I was just thinking about this today. I like the cycle you outlined. Now, is it true that T3 is best used when you are well into a fat loss cycle? I've read that it is most "useful" after you have already shed the easy fat and your metabolism is not up enough to get rid of the last 5-10-15 lbs or whatever. I've used T3 and didn't really notice anything until I was up in the higher dosages, so I want to have that period (high dosages) coincide with the right timing of my fat loss cycle overall - whether that be the beginning, middle, or end.
Also, is it true that T3 can make a gaining cycle more effective by speeding up protein synthesis?? I have not used T3 for gains, but would if others have had positive results for this purpose.
Thanks Cycleon - very informative!

well some people wiat until your thyroid shuts down in a cutting cycle (as it will when on DNP, heavy ECA , clen - anything that raises the body temp high) but IMO it should just be part of the whole cycle
its used in a bulk cycle to help absorb all the protien u need - never go over 50mcg ED then and 25mcg is all i recommend.

I got this post from elite thought you would like some more info on this subject.
Some folks do find that one week on clen, one week on eca works better for them, but the main point is that the two day on, two day off is NOT the way to take clen. And by then end of 8 weeks, you will need a break from both the clen and the eca.
One other point of interest would be adding in the Yohim. Take a look at some of he threads by Macro on this.
I just got to chuckle at all you "less than 50mcg" T3 folks. My guinea pigs START at 50mcg and quickly ramp up. Then take a LONG time to comedown. The taper down is the most important part - you must give your body enough time to re-start normal production.
We let them ramp up based on how they are effected - I let them decide... we increase the dose every three days until they hit a dose where they feel "uncomfortable". We then back off 25mcgs and then hold at that level for a good six days, then start the tapering back down.
Each respond differently to the dosage, and adding in eca/clen will also come into play. Some top out quick at 125/150, while I have gone to 250. And I've not really seen to much difference from men or women - as in it don't seem to matter how big or small you are. But this is just anecdotal observations.
If you tilt you head to the right, you will see my attempt to make a graph of a typical dosing schedule. Each dot is 12.5mcgs of T3 and the interval is three days. This is an 8 week cycle where we jump in with both feet, ramp up quick, hold, then back off with a nice long taper

So on day one you would take four 12.5mcg doses of T3 every day. Now I like to spread the dose out. But I don’t think it really matters much if you were to take 25mcg in the morning and 25mcg in the afternoon. In other words, it’s not a big deal to take four SEPERATE12.5mcg doses (no fan of cutting tabs). After three days, you would go to 75mcg, Say 25 in the morning, 25 in the afternoon, and 25 in the evening.
And notice the LONG tapper back down. This is key.
I also like to make the anabolic used during the cycle longer than the T3/eca/clen cycle to prevent as much muscle loss as possible. So start one week prior to the T3 and keep on one week after. This would give you a 10 week total cycle for cutting.
Now “uncomfortable” is not the most scientific term LOL, but you WILL know it. Shaky, skidish, like you just pounded a 12 of Mt Dew.... And about the dosing schedule, I suggest one takes it through out the day. From all accounts, you just can't say take "x" amount of T3 and you will get "x" results. If you find that taking it on an empty stomach means you use less while getting the same effect, then hell, by all means take it on an empty gut. Myself, and a few others seem to do better if it don't kick in quite as fast, so I take it with food. But again - that’s just me.
I've posted this so many times that I almost have given up, if anyone can show me proof that over doing T3 kills your thyroid.... (Yes, while your 'on' T3 it shuts down) but your thyroid WILL START BACK UP and if you do a solid slow taper, you can avoid the rebound.

Yes, mixing the two can provide extraordinary results. However, clen is known to spare muscle, more than T3. Depends what look you are going for. If you're looking at just staying lean and toned, it should be fine to run them both. However, if you are looking to put some lean muscle mass on, it might be better to stick with just the clen.
BTW....When you cycle clen...2 weeks on/ 2 weeks off...on your 2 "off" weeks, run an ECA so your metabolism can stay at an elevated level.
Good luck on your decision. Not many people post in this forum, so you can always post your question in the Female Forum, or Steroid Forum, and someone will gladly answer your question.

T3 is not dangerous - it will temporarily shut down your natural thyroid function which can produce a lag after supplementation unless you taper correctly as shown above - it will eat muscle tho, unless you are taking anavar, winny or primo while taking it. but it is a great stack with clen - please look at my ketotifen thread in here as well to get better clen and ECA results.

08-13-2002, 12:04 PM
What about combining clen and eca? Will that spare the muscles?
Buddha_Red
08-13-2002, 12:42 PM
clen and eca will just make you run hotter and faster, it wont effect muscle loss
Its one of the great debates how much muscle will be eaten and at what dosages.
most say you have to run some AAS to prevent it or keep your dosages no higher than 50mcg.
just depends who you talk to really.

I finished a cycle of deca and winnie about two months ago. I got scared because it totally messed both my blood levels and choleterol up, as well as getting heart pains. I really just want to get down to 8% bodyfat as I am 18%now. Iweigh 195, use a strict diet and cardio schedule and yet cant get rid of fat in midsection. I am alos allergic to ephedrine and thermogenic products. My question is would something like primobolan and T3 be dangerous. Thanks.

03-29-2003, 07:29 AM
If you continue your current workouts I would start with 30mins for 4 days a week and see how you like that. I am a little scared to offer that 45mins at 5 days a week is good because you might get a bit catabolic with that amount of cardio, so I would start out at a lower number and then work your way up if you can, it will be better for your muscles. Also do your cardio first thing in the morning or after a workout for best results. Hope this helps.

Depends on what you want to do for dosage, if you are running high dosage (100mcg or so) as a fat burner then 6 weeks should be good, if not you need to look at your diet and cardio...... If you are using it to aid in a bulking cycle and keep some fat off and increase protein synthesis, using a dose of 12.5-25mcg per day then I have heard that 12 weeks is fine. I am going to do that my next bulking cycle.

Thank you you so much for that great post and sharing all of your experience as well as extensive research on proper t-3 dosing and tapering.
This is my first time experimenting with Cytomel so I understand that you say I should increase my up ramp and decrease my constant. . However I do not understand the manner or math in which I should ramp down and also how many equal parts to to break the down ramp into .
I was thinking 10/35/55% would be good acording to your formula, but
How many equal parts I should break my down ramp into confuses me the most.
Would you be so kind as to help me figure out my first cycle which I think should be 30 days, but let me know if you disagree. I would really appreciate it .

I honestly dont think a long ramp up period is necessary - much more important is the down ramp

Hey people,
i found this web-site through the work i do and thought it maybe of some interest to you all.
www.bnf.org
It is the british medical associations drug/medication refferal site as used by practising medical professionals in the uk.
I used it to look for an unbiased view point on cytomel(thyroxine sodium).
When you get onto the sites homepage click on bnf46,on this page in the top right corner is a blank box, type in thyroxine sodium or hypothyroidism(not cytomel,its got a different name over here i guess).It will display lots of choices in a seperate left colum,have a read,see what you think.I find it intresting, you may not. I have not tried other generic drug groups but i guess they will be on there some place.Enjoy,hope its useful.

djb you are confusing t3 with t4, thyroxine is t4 - as per the site (thanks for listing it):
Levothyroxine sodium (thyroxine sodium) is the treatment of choice for maintenance therapy. The initial dose should not exceed 100 micrograms daily, preferably before breakfast, or 25 to 50 micrograms in elderly patients or those with cardiac disease, increased by 25 to 50 micrograms at intervals of at least 4 weeks. The usual maintenance dose to relieve hypothyroidism is 100 to 200 micrograms daily which can be administered as a single dose.
In infants and children doses of thyroxine, for congenital hypothyroidism and juvenile myxoedema, should be titrated according to clinical response, growth assessment, and measurements of plasma thyroxine and thyroid-stimulating hormone.
Liothyronine sodium has a similar action to levothyroxine but is more rapidly metabolised and has a more rapid effect; 20 micrograms is equivalent to 100 micrograms of levothyroxine. Its effects develop after a few hours and disappear within 24 to 48 hours of discontinuing treatment. It may be used in severe hypothyroid states when a rapid response is desired.
---------------------------------
Note - this is only describing amounts needed for medical use - t3 is preferrable for BB uses due to rapid onset and shorter half life to elimination - thus controllable - but t4 can be used as well.

should T3 be taken at one time, or should doses be spread throughout the day?

one time is fine - half life is about 24-30 hours so no problem

Should you take all the T3 at one time or spread it out during the day?

Would running T-3 at say 75mcg for 4 weeks with Test Enth for say at say 250mg for 10 weeks and at week six when the test is a bit kicked in...then hit it with the T-3...another words can you run Test Enth and T-3??

Great post guy, i was just wondering one thing.. If someone using say 25-50 mg for 6 week with a bulking cycle, does he need to ramp down too? How would you ramp this down?

I'm on Week 2 of my first cycle, Test E (1-12) and Winny (10-14). I am 5'11", 192 with approx 9-11% bf. I have pretty good ab definition right now. I have Liquid T3/Clen from AR-R. I will be using Clen with PCT but I will be adding T3 starting Week 3.
My goal is to get up to a solid 200-205 after the cycle with a loss of 2% bf preferably. More specifically, i want to get my abs further defined, cut away some of that fat on the lower abs, and get my pec striations and serratus to jump out more. I've tried searching different dosing posts for T3 but would like someone to set me up with an effective dosing schedule.
I have a pic at:

do a search for mallet's thyroid/T3 threads. you need to read up on thyroid function before trying it. be ready to do thyroid-PCT too.

thanks wired..i have read mallet's post on pct (t-100x and coleus, etc...). I do know what the thyroid does and know it's serious **** to take t3. It's also serious **** taking aas but I have done my homework. I was just hoping to get it customized by someone knowledgeable in the area specific to my current stats and goal along with the test/winny i am on.
Thanks.

What if your dosage is only 50mcg do you still need to come down so slowly?
I'm assuming the answer is yes.
Here is what I put together for a 6 week cycle with a max of 50mcg.
I'm also running clen 2 weeks on 1 off.
Day 1-3 =25mcg (1 tab)
Day 3-23 =50mcg (2 tabs)
Day 23-29 =37.5mcg (1.5 tabs)
Day30-36 -=25 mcg (1 tab)
Day 36-42 =12.5 mcg (.5 tab)

Everyone is different, My wife takes 125mcg. On the advise of I think it was Warlo, we followed what he had posted cause we were not seeing results from ramping up and down as most suggest. She goes directly to 125mcg first day for 5 days, coming down at 75mcg for 1 day and 25 for 1 day to complete the week. 5 days off and back at it again. We were also concerned about shutting down the thyroid but had her dr check her 2 weeks off of the T3's and it was functioning normally. So it appears to be safe and very effective. Note she is 5'5" 140 lbs and has been lifting for 3 years, so a lot of that is muscle. Just so you know i'm not talking about some 300lb woman :) Hope that helps for what it is worth.

Hey Kev, do you think there is any danger in just starting out at 150-200mg vs ramping up? With Clen you ramp up and with T3 and using Malets formula youd dont. Any Risks? Thanks Bro!

btw, i read somewhere youre not supposed to use clen for pct with t3, as it is antagonistic to the thyroid. Mallet says so.

Do a search for "Mallets" Threads about T3 and Clen, from what I see Mallets 7/5 Split works really good! I'm fixin to give it a go myself, but I would say that you need to research your @$$ of on this stuff, this stuff will mess your Thyroid up for life if you dont do it right. I've been researchin this stuff for about 2 months and still not ready to take the plunge. Take your time, research, be safe, and good luck!

tanks sooner 45 i have been doing my homework on this but the safe zone is 6 weeks which i might do 4 weeks insatid along with the clen but my cousin has taken cytomel various amounts of times as well his wife recently is on her 5th week and has lost 30lbs and eating her favorite foods ( sounds like a comercial) so i dont know i mean im very cousious with that cuz my mom has thyroid problems and she is iverweight by about 40lbs but then again she dont take care of her self according to what i have reaserched while your on the t3 your thyroid stops producig the hormone simply beasue you are replacing it with artificial t3 jsut like with test you put test in your body stops making its own your balls go up while your on it you ramp up then ramp down do gradualy put your normal body back in place but the thyroid a gland according my a doctor when your thyroid shuts off something has to compensate for it now the Doc never stated if the hormone making t3 part of your thyroid is what shuts down or everything else thats what confuses me im pretty sure that of you work your way slow on to the t3 then eaven slower when your going to go off and not use it for more than 6 weeks and to be safe only for 5 weeks 1 time it shouldent **** you up just as long as you dont exeed 100mcg a day and spread out the tablets through out the day. now for all the dare devils do what you want but for you hazerdous ppl i would take my cousins way cuz hes done it more than once its worked and he has no thyroid problems.

bump on this. i'll be taking T3 for 6 weeks, along with anabolics and other fat burners (forskolin, green tea, yohimbine, 7-OXO, etc) and was curious with the dosage. i would really prefer a low-dose T3 regimen, as i dont have test or clen in the cycle and would like to not lose quite as much muscle (some is ok) so does the above schedule look good, or would the down-taper need to be more gradual and end lower, say:
day 1-2: 12.5mg
day 3-4: 25mg
day 5-25: 50mg
day 26-32: 25mg
day 33-38: 12.5mg
day 39-42: 5mg
which would be about a 9/50/40 split. the long duration combined with the above "missing elements af anbolism" make me hesitant about upping the dose. reckon i will still get results? ephedrine is still a possibility but only if i dont see significant fat loss.

I was wondering if a 12 week cycle would be too long for using T3? I was thinking of ramping up to 100mcg/day with a long taper down period. Also, Clen, 2wks on, 2 wks off for the entire cycle. Based on the earlier formula, what would a dosing schedule look like?
Also, I am trying to lose bodyfat, but do not want to lose muscle as well. What would be a decebt AAS to stack in there to help me out with this concern?

Damnit, I'm a bit confused. Could be cause I'm tired.
Hey guys, great thread.... I have a few questions... heres what I'm looking at...
I'm doing a 10wk cycle of Test-E 600MG/twice a week, followed by 2 weeks of test-prop at 875MG/week (125/day) then moving into PCT, where I'm not sure if I should take 50mg or 100mg of clomid a day, and I'm going to also take 20MG of nolvadex/day... but I also want to start my Clen/T3 cycle after the Prop. Right now I have a 56 day cycle of Clen, and a 42 day cycle of T3, do I need to have them the same length? Or is that fine?
Heres the Clen Cycle: (total: 56 days)
day 1: 20mcgs
day 2: 40mcgs
day 3: 60mcgs
day 4: 80mcgs
day 5: 100mcgs
day 6: 120mcgs
day 7-56: 140mcgs
day 15-21: 100mg benadryl everynite
day 35-42: 100mg benadryl everynite
day 1-56: 5g taurine ed
Heres my T3 Cycle: (total: 42 days)
Day 1: 25mcgs
Day 2: 50mcgs
Day 3: 75mcgs
Days 4-20: 100mcgs
Days 21-26: 75mcgs
Days 27-32: 50mcgs
Days 33-38: 25mcgs
Days 39-42: 12.5mcgs
Do I need to change anything? Or does this look good?
I'm 6'3" and weigh 190... I'm a little scared of this Thyroid thing, should I take anything for that?
Thanks!
