clen with T3...

I spoke with my guy who really knows his stuff. He said as long as I keep my protein intake where it should be (a balanced diet) I should have no issues with the T3. Objections?

Thats not always true, at a lower dose at like 50mcg it might actually aid in protien synth. But when you get into the higher ranges it will burn muscle regardless, the reason being that your energy expendature becomes so high that beta oxidation becomes too slow to provide sufficent energy, so it starts to work into glycogen/muscle. High protien intake will obviously slow the process down, but it won't stop it.

T3 is nice, but I honestly didn't like it much. If you insist on running it, I wouldn't ramp it to numbers like 200mcg/day.

I forgot to mention there are a lot of variables to considers, including your genetic limits (how far you are from them), your bodyfat%, your current mass, etc. Obviously the lower your bodyfat, the more apt your body is going to be to burn up muscle, which is why it's so hard to reach a very low bodyfat% naturally at any kind of reasonable weight.

Here is a good read on P-ratios by Lyle McDonald, also a good thing to consider. And on the same note it helps enforce the fact that people should wait untill they are under a certain bodyfat% before they start bulking considering leptins effect on lowering testosterone, raising cortisol, etc..

thank you sir I appreciate the reading material. Will read it and get back if I have more questions.

- Though you said T3 may not be ideal for me at 200 mcg/day, maybe if i started off at 50 mcg/day and saw if there were any results after a month or do you think I would be best to run just the clen and evaluate after 30/40 days?
