T-3 and Body Temp Very Important

[speedtraining]

How are T-3 and relative body temp associated in losing fat while on t3, ive read lots of posts from the past but can't put together all the information maybe some one can outline how they are correlated thanks.

Take your temp in the morning for a week as you adjust t3 dosage. You want your temp to be 98.6. If you're a little cooler than that, increase t3 by 20mcgs. If you're hotter than 98.6, decrease it. You are at max efficiency at 98.6 so you're burning fat without burning muscle. Too hot, you're burning muscle which is very bad. Always cycle AAS with t3 (+ clen) to inhibit any muscle loss.

here's some info i've posted before...take it as you will

"Thyroid hormones, on the other hand, offer significant benefits when used cautiously and "properly". They should not be used haphazardly as a fat loss agent however, instead they are valuable in correcting thyroid dysfunction brought on by androgen use. When done properly, T3 is used as "replacement therapy" and serves only to normalize decreased T3 levels. Research has shown that high dose androgens pushes T3 levels down (14,15). This is significant because the real value of optimal thyroid levels is not for fat loss, but instead for optimum anabolic activity. T3 has diverse facilitative anabolic effects including, increasing GH secretion(16,17), up-regulating GH receptors (18), up-regulating IGF-1 receptors (19,20), and other less well defined anabolic effects (21,22). Don’t get the wrong idea however, for T3 to facilitate anabolism, it must stay in the high normal range. A little too high or a little too low significantly changes the biological effects of thyroid hormones. Bringing T3 levels too high will undoubtedly backfire and lead to muscle, strength losses, and rebound fat gain.
You will need regular ../../affiliates/hormone-levels.htm to determine the optimal dose of T3 (e.g. Cytomel) to bring you up to the optimum range. If you are unwilling, or do not have access to, regular blood work I would not recommend using T3. The old "take your morning temperature" recommendation is simply too inaccurate. Most people use way too much T3 and cause more problems than anything else. However, if you are willing to take care of yourself while optimizing muscle gains, have your free T3 checked before using any T3, yet during your full dose androgen regimen. Try to bring your free T3 levels up to ~7.0-7.4 pmol/L. Your doctor may use conventional units on your blood work which means it will read in "pg/dL". If that’s the case bring your levels up to about 450-480 pg/dL. Doing this will allow optimal caloric intake while minimizing fat gain, as well as optimize the anabolic actions of the androgens you are using."

A girl that would not be using AAS or Clen is also fine too though. Just being used for fat loss.

Not true. t3 will eat her muscle and lower her metabolism as well. After she's done with t3 she will become even fatter. The amount of muscle tissue we carry dictates our metabolism. If you lose weight along with muscle and fat, you will gain back more fat and now have less muscle. Not sexy. She would be better off on clen, proper w/o routine, cardio and a clean diet. Women usually use t3 + Anavar.

t3 IS NOT the magic bullet to lose bf, especially if you're not on AAS. A lot of women, including my gf, want the easy way out to lose bf. Can't be done, you have to do the work in the gym and eat right along with the correct combo.

You can use T3 alone, without losing muscle, at low dosages, and while eating properly. It can be done despite what some people think.

Perfect, Blown SC. He's the t3 expert.

But if you use t3 at low doses aren't you just replacing your natty levels basically? Or are you saying for someone that has a thyroid defiency so the low amount brings them up to normal levels?

What would be the average dosage with t3 only? 40mcgs?

good info

Neither, personally....

How do you do it and would it be different cause its not for me its for my girl friend.

I won't give advice for a girl running T3 bro.... sorry. Their thyroids are MUCH different than ours... and I wouldn't feel right giving advice.

For ME, I prefer to run a low dosage, without ramping, without days off, for weeks...... as I'm doing now.

[Seattle Junk]

Well, I've been on T3 for a little while, and will be coming off with some t-100x in about a month.... then take about 6weeks off, and probably run it at low dose again.... .

Do you notice any rebound effect (fat gain) while on PCT using t-100x during that 6 week period?
