    cardio, cut cals and T3 - how much fat loss per week?

    OK, people who have done this, or something similar:
    cardio in the morning (empty stomach) (5-6 days a week)
    T3 at around 75-100mcg/day
    cut cals in half...

    How much fat can one expect to burn in 1 week?

    But are you doing cardio and cut your calories?
    What AS are you on?

    Your body can comfortably lose about 1-2 lbs of fat per week...

    I thought that with such a 'dose' of cardio (1hr 5-6/week), cut calories below maintance and T3 at 75-100mcg, one would be able to loose more than that...?

    Cheers.

    20lbs in 3 weeks! Wow, that's impressive!!!
    Now, a bit of a followup. I wonder if one could get nearly as good effects without the Dnp. I heard that stuff is not something I would want to play with.
    Would you say you're only buring fat or loosing muscle as well? I mean with the T3 you would want to take some kind of AS to prevent the catabolism???

    Thanks bro.

    At the momment my bf is 22% so i dont worry much about muscle catabolism. I keep my protein intake at 3grams pre kgr and eca stack prevents muscle catabolism. When i drop below 20% i`ll add clen and when i drop below 15% ill juice some.

    Hope i help


    PS. 30 August i`ll post before & after pics

    Alot of factors come into play including your amount of LBM and your BF%...The fatter you are, the more weight you can lose without chewing up muscle...

    Well, I do cardio at 5x a week, I was doing 1 hour but have dropped back to 40 minutes as I feel I go catabolic at an hour. No science just gut feeling. I'm weaker after going an hour, whereas 40 minutes seems to be a good balance for me.

    My cycle has my weight kinda yoyoing. I KNOW I'm loosing fat, just don't know how much. My strength is up but I look SO much smaller without the fat weight. I posted a shitty back shot as my avatar, 1 month ago NONE of that definition was there. That picture is 1.5 weeks old and I feel it's already outdated.

    My love handles are still slightly there, but compared to before they are non-existant. My gut no longer looks like Buda, actually whats left feels like a little fat and intestines. Can't figure that one out, TMI probably.

    My only point is that T3 as of yesterday has made me DRAG. So I assume it's doing something. My original plan was to ramp down starting tommarow, I may extend it a few days and increase the ramp down just to use up the T3 I've got. Not to mention, 8 days isn't very long of a constant in my mind.

    Enough rambling:-),
