T3 Baby!

**big_dom85** · 07-11-2007, 04:43 PM

alright not to disappoint, but this is about Cytomel not Test 300 or anything, sorry guys.

Alright Whats the best way to run a t3 only cycle? 50mcg pills???

I was thinking about maybe just running it at 50,50,50,100,100,100,150,150,150 then staying at 150for 3 to for weeks then coming off it the same way... critique it pleas guys

Wow, that sounds good to me too

don't taper off, just run your max dose until you are done

**Montgomery** · 07-11-2007, 09:53 PM

personally, I like to taper on the way down, but not on the way up. This way I get maximum shock value and cause my cellular metabolism to jump as hard as possible, but on the way down I taper for almost two weeks so that my natural T3 production can start up slowly. This way I never go withouth T3 (whereas if you were to quit cold turkey from a high dose, it would take at least a few days for your natural T3 to kick, in which time your body would be desperately trying to replace the fat stores you just robbed from it - all about homeostasis maintenance). This is just my opinion though!

IMO your thinking is backwords, by jumping on and shocking your body you are setting yourself up for the most possible sides. Your thyroid will not come back slowly over that two weeks, it has no reason to produce any thyroid hormone until levels are below normal physiologic. Transition will be smooth via your body's natural feedback. You are prolonging your recovery durring that two weeks for less added benefit.

Alright Mr. Kratos, WTF man thats my Real last name... any ways

I'm not going to be on any AAS while running the t3 so should i just go to about 100mcg max a day? I want to lose the least amount of muscle as possible. i want to wait till i get my BF really low then when i m ready jump on the juice but I'm a virgin so i don't want to waste my Reception on a cutting cycle..

**Kratos** · 07-11-2007, 10:21 PM

try it at 100mcg for a week or two, if you feel like you arn't loosing muscle you could go up to 150mcg for a few more weeks. I think it is very individual dependant, some people loose muscle, some don't seem to. 100mcg is a good starting point for a max dose.

**big_dom85** · 07-11-2007, 10:40 PM

Nice, thanks Kratos

**Second2None** · 07-11-2007, 11:24 PM

taper up bro, hold, then taper down, you have to level off

**theflyzman** · 07-12-2007, 12:04 AM

I have read in anabolics 2007, that if you go above 100mcg a day, you run the risk of doing damage to your natural thyroid levels, in which u may ahve to run some sort of thyroid meds for life. t3 with hard cardio in the gym should do the trick at 100mcg. dont be weak and ruin your life for a short term goal... Thats my thoughts...

This makes sense to me but I have ALWAYS heard that you are supposed to taper with t3... Does anyone else feel the same way as Kratos about this?

**BOUNCER 01** · 07-12-2007, 12:34 PM

I'v done T3 in the past and always tapered of it slowly without running into any complications. Currently towards the end of my T4 only cycle and also planning on tapering that one too.

Did they provide a mechanism or reason why your thyroid shits the bed over 100mcg or is it just a "becasue I said so" statement? To me it's kinda like "don't go over 750mg of testosterone or your nuts will fall off." Mabe it inturupts another chemical cascade I'm not thinking of, so I would be interested to know.

Tapering down is not necessary. I did it on my first T3 cycle and never again. It made recovery sloooooooooow as hell... Plus, I've consulted with a doctor that said the taper up AND down is pointless.

**BOUNCER 01** · 07-12-2007, 01:02 PM

If it's a 3-4 week cyle then i don't really see a point tapering. I'm near the end of a 6 month T4 only cycle and it wouldn't be wise for me to just come of it without tapering.

**Dog-Slime** · 07-12-2007, 01:10 PM

But if you did a 6 month cycle of test you wouldn't need to taper it off... Does tapering really let your thyroid recover or is it pointless just like the old school tapering off of steroids ?

I have run t3 only in the past before.. won't do it again.. lost 22 lbs.. probably 1/2 that in muscle.. noticable size..

run with low dose test, or 50mg var.. works great..

thrown the clen in 2 on 2 off if you wish

T3/T4 and T5's are all thyroid hormones and are totally different to steroids , so we can't really compare them. I don't know, but i personally would always taper of it as it will minimize any problems and its worked for me in the past.

How high did you go with the t3? I was hoping to run mine during a clen cycle at around 50mcgs. Do you think I would lose muscle with this? Would it even be worth it or should I save the t3 for my next cycle? I have a shit ton of the stuff so kinda anxious to try it out...
