Gained a shit ton of fat on T3??

[Bigpup101]

Haven't posted any ?'s on here in awhile but i'm pretty curious as to i can't find any real answers over the web. About 2 weeks ago I was sitting pretty lean (for me) I'd say around 10% bf.. Anyway, I decided to throw T-3 in the mix after being on Tren and sust for about 5 weeks. I started at 25mcg a day for the first week and bumped it to 50mcg (split in two doses) the second week. Well i'm on day 15 and I look like shit! wtf? I thought at first it might be some possible water retention so I cut out carbs for 4 days and only went back on them for leg day..But nothing! I'm up 9lbs in 2 weeks and it looks like all fat to me??? Any possible explanations???

is it actually t3?

pharm grade, r.c or ugl?

i assume you havnt made any stupid changes to diet recently, correct?

any increase in body temp?

measure it first thing in morning

[Bigpup101]

It's a UGL but i'm good friends with the guy and everything else he has is amazing. I actually started carb cycling and even started fasted morning cardio!! I was really trying to take it to the next level. I "felt" a bit warmer but nothing crazy. I never measured though. Everymorning I woke up literally starving though! Like I hadn't eaten in days.. I would slam 50g of whey and feel a lot better..idk

When you start your carb cycles and you sure you have it down to a T?

It can do more harm than good if not utilised correctly, this thread may be better placed in nutrition section........

[DanB]

You any way of measuring body temp?

[gixxerboy1]

are you taking an ai. your 5 weeks into the test can it be water from that?

[Bigpup101]

Yea i'm very familiar with cycling carbs, i've done it several times always with good success. I have a thermometer I can do it tomorrow. I was actually thinking of jumping off the t-3 and maybe going to DNP..I've ran DNP twice in the past and it's incredible what it can do. I'll just be out of commission for 2 weeks bc I can't move on it lol. I was just more concerned with the T-3 bc I was wondering if it could mean I have some underlying thyroid issue?

my man gix

i missed that

[Bigpup101]

Yea arimidex ED... I was taking .5 letro ED but I felt like it was too strong. Besides, I have never really had a problem with water retention except maybe my first cycle.

[Brohim]

sounds like its working if yuor temps are higher and you are hungry. Maybe your AI is not working?

[Bigpup101]

That's usually why I like to carb cycle while on a "cutter" bc of how much water carbs will make you retain. I think it's like 4oz for every gram! I also keep sodium intake real low, I might overdue it with my hot sauce in the morning but that's about it lol

Yea, I mean I feel like i have all the classic sides from t-3 except it REALLY looks like fat! I'll switch back to letro tomorrow and maybe run 4-5 days of lasiks and see if that helps

bloat from tren?

rare but by no means impossible

[Brohim]

If its bloat it would be from the Testosterone

[DanB]

possible progestrone related. Not sure how much the OP is taking and if he is using caber or prami..

How are u running the sustanon 250, I ran it incorrect first time and put on a lot of water

[Bigpup101]

i'm only running it at 500mg/wk.. EOD injections

[Bigpup101]

Just an update. I went to see a friend of mine who is a DR. and he says he's 99% sure the bloat is from the sust and my a.i's are no good. He did send me to get bloodwork done but he said the t-3 would not be responsible for any weight gain..
