Long Test Cycle Opinions- T3/PCT?

[chris3737zz]

I'm 22, 5'8, 215, and have three cycles under my belt. This is my first in a while and am using it to get back to where I was after previous cycling. Here is my proposed cycle:

Test 500mg PW 1-16
Nolva 10mg ED 1-16

T3 (beginning week 5):
Days 1-39 100mcgs
Days 40-43: 75mcgs
Days 44-47: 50mcgs
Days 48-54 : 37.5mcgs
Days 55-62 : 25 mcgs
Days 63-70 : 12.5 mcgs

PCT:
Clomid 50mg ED 30 days
Nolva 20mg ED 30 days

-I am not tapering up b/c I've used T3 before and know that 100mcgs. does me very well. I am tapering down only to be on the safe side. I know studies report that natural levels bounce back in a few months, but I believe that is for people who already had lower than normal T3 levels. Also, I don't think that the participants were given similarly high doses. And I decided to start it week 5 so that there is enough time for the test to reach maximum levels and also it will leave me enough time to be on test for a while during the 'recovery' of T3 levels. What do you think?

-What do you think of my PCT regimen? I've never run a cycle this long so I'm just basing this off of some previous posts that I've read. Do you think I need HCG toward the end of my cycle before PCT? Thanks!

PrePCT 500iu HCG ed 10 days after last injection b4 pct
*do not use hcg and clomid at the same time*
Revised PCT:
Clomiphene: 4 weeks @ 100mg ed first 2 weeks, 50mg ed last 2 weeks.
Tamoxifen: 4-6 weeks @ 20mg ed (40mg ed for first 2 weeks if you wish)
on another note you might want to do some research on cortisol control...like investing in some clen...

Hope this helps

BTW pyramiding your t3 is a waste of time in my opinion. Do a little more research.

Thanks for the input! I looked up the articles cited in the cytomel profile. They did perform the experiments on people with normal thyroid hormone levels as well. Unfortunately, I could not get access to the full articles, only the abstracts. I will see if I can find the physical copy in my school library though. Anyways, I do not know what doses they were administering. I am pretty sure that doctors do not typically prescribe doses near 100mcgs per day. It also seems reasonable to me that recovery time could be dose dependent. That is why I am thinking about tapering to be on the safe side. What do you think about this line of reasoning specifically?

It sounds like a resonable theory and I can see why you would want to do that. But, after doing an absolutely excessive amount of research (no such thing) I feel comfortable not pyramiding t3. "I feel comfortable" You must decide how you want to run your cycle. Also, btw my last t3 run consisted of 20,40,60,80,100,120 per day increasing dosage every 3 days or so. It doesn't take a high dosage originally to achieve desired affects....thats why I built up...plus I didn't want to start my first day on my max dosage...so, if you are going to pyramid (wish I hadn't next time I won't) increase your dosages.

I'll keep that in mind as I'm doing more research. Thanks for the perspective!
