T3 Ramping

**shifty_git** · 10-17-2007, 11:45 AM

Am planning a

week 1 -11 Test E 250mg e3d,
week 2-9 Tren A 50mg ED,
week 7-11 winny 60mg ED cycle.

Am planning on running t3 for the first time while on this stack, and have decided to go for 50mg ED for 10 weeks.

How quickly should i ramp up n ramp down to avoid shock to the system?

cheers!

I'd say start off with half in the first week, ranp up, then use 2 weeks to ramp down. Its not about shocking the system but avoiding complications with your thyroid production.

Hooker says, start low 20-25 increase by same amount every 4 days to plateau and ramp down, but Schering recommends you increase once a week or every two. See "Dosage and Administration":

Also, the chosen plateau can be maintained for far longer than a couple of weeks most people (myself included) stay on for the duration of the cycle, and others far longer.

Be sure to read the profile, Hooker cites some interesting long-term studies in his 'References':

Anabolic Review Profile: Cytomel (T3 - Liothyrine Sodium)

Cytomel is definitely a NFL participant, but no it won't be long-term.
Your proposed taper is waaaaaay to tapered!

Remember we're dealing w/micrograms, see my earlier post.

You don't need to ramp down. It's pointless... especially with a dose of 50mcg ED. I might ramp down from a dose of 150mcg, but that is only because I don't like the feeling of going from a high to a low in such a short amount of time.

In fact, at a dose of 50mcg ED you don't even need to ramp up! The average human produces 32-35 mcg of T3 daily.

Start at 50mcg, end at 50mcg...
