T3 non-responders and for whom it DOESNT WORK. Please help, those who know!

**Atomini** · 06-08-2010, 07:32 PM

Hey all, I haven't been on here in a good while. Hope some of you remember me.

I'm planning on running a cutting cycle with T3 included. But here's the thing: i've used T3 before, with NO RESULTS. Thats right, no temperature increase, no significant fat loss (other than what my diet, training, and a bit of juice did). I've used T3 TWICE so far and they both did nothing. I felt nothing and I saw no results.

The first T3 cycle, I used ARR's liquid T3. Nothing.

The second cycle I used tablets from an underground lab. Nothing.

This time I am planning on using pharmaceutical grade T3. I have no idea if that will make a difference, but that's why i'm checking here. Is it possible there are those of us whom T3 (or at the very least, exogenous T3) does nothing? That doesn't sound very logical though, because my body is producing and using T3 as I sit here right now, so what gives?

I've only ever known ONE other person who used T3 and found that it didn't do anything for him (and he had a fairly high bodyfat % to begin with). Each time I used T3 I was 15% bodyfat. RIght now i'm at around 13%. I'd like to try and drop below the 10% mark.

So tell me: should I give this 3rd time the last shot? Or should I not even waste my money and do the cycle without the T3? I'd really like to experience T3's fat loss effects...

Side-note - It's probably near impossible to find (and perhaps more risky to use), but... what about injectable T3? Would it make a difference? Hmmmm.....

**gixxerboy1** · 06-08-2010, 07:37 PM

how many mcg's were you taking?

**Atomini** · 06-08-2010, 07:40 PM

75-100mcg on average.

Eventually I got frustrated and just tried taking 150mcg one day and still nothing - it's strange.

And when I tell some people I used 100mcg max as a regular dose, they look at me wide-eyed and go "WHOA dude, I start burning up and burn a ton of fat at 50mcg already!".

That crossed my mind, but it doesn't make sense since I used 2 different brands. One of them was ARR (AKA Lion Nutrition, this board's sponsor) which is spoken highly of by people around here. Doesn't make sense...

Bump.

**wrasslin140** · 06-09-2010, 03:48 PM

I'm interested also....I tried arr's T3 and another site's with no results....

Guggulsterones do more for me than it...

**Knockout_Power** · 06-09-2010, 03:53 PM

Currently seeing no results on ARR T3. Maybe we are just weird

**Atomini** · 06-09-2010, 05:18 PM

Hmm there's more people than I thought that have the same problem. I thought I was among an extreme few.

Now all we need to do is figure out what the hell is happening here and why. I dont want to waste money buying more T3 for my next cycle if it isn't going to work.

I'm 100mcg a day and the only sides I have is that It made more normal as far as being able to stand the air being on below 70 degrees. I've always been cold natured and couldnt stand to be anywhere where the temp dipped blow 70 where as now I keep it 65 in my house and I'm fine. I sweat a lot more also if I'm doing cardio.

You are forcing yourself into a self-induced hyperthyroid state. Some people in this state do not lose weight. Some gain weight b/c of increased appetite.

I've only lost a lb in 10 days but im hoping its b/c of the superdrol im taking with it.

**nunyabizness** · 06-10-2010, 09:50 AM

When I did ARR's I used too much at the beginning, like 150 mcg and lost muscle fast. I dropped it down to 100 mcg, then tapered off due to a surgery and not being able to diet while healing. My wife is using 50 mcg daily, and where she wasn't losing at all before is now consistently losing 1 lb a week. She's very tiny, and it's hard for her to lose anything.

I know the ARR stuff had an effect because I had bloodwork done, and my doc was like, OMG Your TSH is LOW!!! I just told them I was taking a herbal thyroid supplement to help me with the end stages of my diet and would stop taking it. ;-)

**Atomini** · 06-10-2010, 09:55 AM

Hmm maybe the answer is to use a high(er) dose? I did go up to 150mcg max at one point, but that was for one day. I didn't stay at that dose long enough to see anything from it, really.

I just might give this next cycle a shot with the pharmaceutical grade T3 and try running it at a STARTING dose at like 75mcg and work my way up.

Any more input from people is appreciated.

That's how I would do it. Just keep an eye on your strength - really, that, eyeballs, and a tape measure are all you have to determine muscle loss. It sounds as if you're in a pretty good place already and probably want to minimize any muscle mass loss.

**MR-FQ320** · 06-10-2010, 01:37 PM

I just started T3 this week, the tabs are 100mg each so cannot split into smaller more evenly spread dosages, in the four days i have taken them, i find that taking one before a workout does get the best results. lost 4pounnd in four days

I'm not planning on anything extravagant in terms of gear while using the T3.

Just Test Propionate at 100mg every other day, and I MIGHT include Turinabol at 60mg daily as well simply to stave off the catabolism from the T3. Infact I think I don't even need more than just test for that purpose in a cutting cycle.

I'm going to kick myself in the ass though if I waste money on T3 that isn't going to work again.
