Not exactly.

A low dose (~50mcg/day) will actually aid significantly in protein synthesis.

I know many, many guys who've done this and had great results.

^^^^^^ REALLY? dont think that the fact they were on steroids might have effected this?

from alot of reading i found T3 is catabolic

and from personal experience at low dosages id have to agree

keep reading, my friend.

this T3 is catabolic stuff is way over rated. Sure, if you're natty it's going to eat through muscle.

but if you're on cycle you shouldn't loose much muscle with T3, unless your diet sucks.

And, again, a low dose on cycle has many benefits, one being added protein synthesis.

D7M is right. Taking a low dose of T3 during cycle (about 25mcg - 50mcg), significantly increases protein synthesis and will aid in building muscle mass. A lot of people do this.

Exactly! I am currently running a low dose of t3 (25mcg) with my current bulk cycle...this is my 1st time running t3 so we will see. I figured it was worth a shot, if nothing else the increased protein synthesis and slightly elevated BMR should benefit my lean bulk. Plus when taking aas your t3 levels will drop, so running 25mcg should bring you up (or slightly above) your natural endogenous t3 levels.

Whats wrong with running 100 mcg?

Well for one thing you would probably need to eat about 2,000 cals over your TDEE if you wanted to gain weight. 100mcg T3 in a bulk cycle would be pointless IMO!
