thanks reddragon4954 for your other thread sparked a question....

Brings up an interesting question... We all know t3 is highly catabolic because it literally processes nutrients faster
TRUE.
.....Accelerating your metabolism burns off cals.....
TRUE.
But its also anabolic in nature your body seeks a balance...
FALSE.
MAYBE YOU'RE THINKING OF CLEN WHICH AFTER CONTINUOUS USE FOR SEVERAL WEEKS SHOWS MILD ANABOLIC PROPERTIES.
T3 IS NOT ANABOLIC, BUT RATHER CATABOLIC, WHICH IS WHY IT BEST ADMINISTERED IN THE PRESENCE OF AN ANABOLIC AGENT.
I have used t3 in bulking and cutting and noticed great results in both...
IT CAN BE USED “IN/DURING” BULKING, BUT NOT “FOR” IT...AGAIN IT ISN'T ANABOLIC.
So here the question... If ones on cycle.... Runs t3 at a higher dosage when bulking but compensates by consuming huge amounts of calories to off set the metabolic stimulation effect...
FALSE.
THIS HYPOTHESIS CANNOT BE EFFECTIVELY EXECUTED, BECAUSE OF T3'S INDISCRIMINANT NATURE. YOU'RE PRESUPPOSING THAT THE DRUG WILL SAY, "SINCE I HAVE ALL THIS EXTRA FOOD THERE'S NO REASON FOR ME TO TAX MUSCLE FOR ENERGY". THIS SIMPLY ISN'T THE CASE, AS T3 INDISCRIMINATELY AND SIMULTANEOUSLY TAXES FOOD/READY FUEL, FAT/PRIMARY STORED FUEL, AND MUSCLE/SECONDARY STORED FUEL. THERE IS NO HIERARCHY. T3 DOESN'T CARE HOW MUCH YOU EAT, OR HOW MUCH FAT OR MUSCLE YOU POSSESS.
WOULD IT NOT BE SAFE TO ASSUME THAT BASED ON THE INCREASED CALORIC CONSUMPTION YOU COULD ACTUALLY INCREASE YOUR RATE OF RECOVERY?
FALSE.
RECOVERY IS NOT FOUNDED ON CALORIC INTAKE, BUT RATHER THE SYNERGY OF PROPERLY TIMED APPROPRIATE NUTRIENTS (FOODS & SUPPLEMENTS), REST FOR THE FORMERLY WORKED MUSCLES AND/OR ENTIRE BODY DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF EXERCISE OR LABOR PERFORMED, AND HIGH QUALITY SLEEP. THUS EXCESSIVE CALORIES (BEYOND NORMAL CYCLE NEEDS) WOULD NOT POSITIVE EFFECT RECOVERY. IT IS THE DIAMETRIC OPPOSITE THAT WOULD RING TRUE, AS THE SURPLUS IN CALORIES WOULD SERVE ONLY TO HINDER OR BOG DOWN THE BODY'S SYSTEMS REDUCING OUTPUT AND RESULTS.
FALSE as T3 actullay increases GH levels and Protein synthesis thus the extra calories being processed by your body helps with recovery as the Nutrients are used efficiently Thus excess calories as T3 would artifically increase your BMR would be in the range of normal bulking cycle needs causing a positive recovery effect.
METABOLIC - STALLS AND SLOWS WITH TOO MANY CALORIES, EXPLAINING HOW OVEREATERS GAIN WEIGHT. IF THE SYSTEM COULD ADJUST TO MATCH THE DEMAND AS YOU PROPOSE, OVEREATING WOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM.
FALSE again as T3 is increasing your BMR cause your caloric surplus to be in line with standard bulking cycle requirements not over eating...
DIGESTIVE UPPER (NUTRIENT PROCESSING) & LOWER (ELIMINATION)- BECOMES BACKED UP, TAKING MORE TIME TO CLEAR AND INCREASING THE PROPENSITY FOR STORAGE (FAT) AND PUTRIFICATION.
This is just silly that if your eating 5000 instead of 4000 to bulk because thats whats required that this would play a huge impact as long as you followed the most basic nutritional science of eating enough fiber/EFA's....
CIRCULATORY - WASTES ENERGY BY RE-ROUTING BLOOD TO DIGESTION INSTEAD OF AUTONOMIC SYSTEMS AND RECOVERY.
Again silly as most people on this board already eat 4000+ cals in 6 daily meals so everyone would succom to this with your logic...
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYS - STALLS CAUSING LETHARGY DUE TO THE AFOREMENTIONED LOSS OF ENRICHED CIRCULATORY SUPPLY.
Again silly as we would be suffering this anyway using your logic...
