Get lean Chuvy! Good luck pal.

Austinite, just to let you know by BP went down one day after I stopped taking T3, so now I am back on it at 25mcg ed and I seem to tolerate it better, maybe a ramp up was needed for me, will see. also like you to know this stuff really works, not much change in weight but sure look much leaner, especially in my face, and no change in diet! thanks for all your help.

Good to hear BP went down. Pace yourself brother. Thanks for the update.

austins opinion: Reverse T3: Side Effects of T3-only (or Why You Need T4 Too)

just read a bunch of that. Mainly, the one point that worries me is it says that taking just t-3 can increase the amount of deodinase (sp? lol) enzyme and that is the enzyme that converts t-4 to t3 and reverse t-3....but ALSO t-3 to the less active t-2. Now some other places have said t-2 is more active on paper but clinically didnt pan out, though dont have the doses. Basically this conversion to t-2 concerns me.
Second it also said t-3 can increase E2 and SHBG...though maybe its the E2 causing the rise in SHBG in which an AI would take care of both. Shortly after starting my t-3 i thought i was getting gyno but wasnt sure because i was on masteron and am not E2 sensitive(can handle a 1000mg of test with no ai, while not terrilbly lean and 500mgs of test super fat). I wasnt sure if it was a true lump or a blind masteron zit as mast has been giving me lots of chest zits, so i waited it out and whatever it was went away.
Anyway, any opinion on the T-2 and an E2, SHBG issue? thanks

^^^^ Interesting read !
Although not easy to read at midnight lol

[CaptainDwamn]

You know what's funny is that there is a thermo product by the company GAD called T-300, probably trying to make it sound like T3.

[PistolPete33]

My wife has been taking 60mcg's since December and has seen some pretty insane results. She's been working out and eating right for the past year or so with little results. She decided to give T3 a try and it's really working.

[H93]

wow, a very good read. Now i feel i can start my program. Thanks

Nice info.. Is that all apply on liquid T3 by Ar-r ?? I ask because I am often told on these forums that the sponsor doesn't produce steroid but alternatives. What I want to know is if liquid T3 by them any good??

T3 is not a steroid. Ar-r has great T3.

Hi Austinite,

If you were running a Test E cycle @ 500mg per week for 12 weeks would you still see the same gains as you would if you weren't cycling T3?

Or would you have to increase the test dose to 600mg+ per week?

Cheers

t3 will not hinder lean gains at those testosterone doses.

nice thread

[RANA]

Nice write up...

[breakthelines]

Do you have to be at a particular BF% for T3 to be effective?

[austinite]

Do you have to be at a particular BF% for T3 to be effective?

No. But no "aid" is healthy at high BF.

[breakthelines]

No. But no "aid" is healthy at high BF.

I'm in the 15-16% range. That's why I was interested.

That's a fine BF to start.

I'm jumping on t3 first time aust. I will let you know how I feel etc. Just hope the sweating is not horrible. I think in two weeks. Leaning out again. I know i can get lean from diet cardio curious the difference adding t3

Welcome aboard, Brother. Hope it works as good as it did for me. Enjoy and keep me posted.

[gearbox]

I miss my buddy. Will do. I'm excited to see what happens. Will most likely run 500 a week and be on low dose dbol or drol.

Hey austinite,

Great write up. I started 140mg test x2 (280 week) + 50 mcg T3 ED. Just finished up the first week. Down 4 lbs so far.

Sides so far:
Lethargic every day, gets worse later in the day.
Headache (just started on Day 8)
Slightly elevated BP (140/80)

I am going to stick it out for another week to see if the fatigue and headache goes away but 4 lbs in a week is pretty damn good. I normally average 2 lbs a week (been cutting for past 6 weeks so its not water). Curious if I will maintain this rate for another week. If the sides go away, I plan on sticking it out for a month.

Ill post up progress here after a month if anyone interested.

[austinite]

Watch that BP closely. Personally, I would abort.

[gearbox]

You would abort at 140/80?

[austinite]

I would abort if BP is on the rise and unmanageable while on T3, is what I meant

[GFA]

I watch it daily. Normal BP is 120/80. Do you think I should abort now?

Down 3.6 lbs in first week.

Edit: BP is 126/77. Going back down. Just checked.

[GFA]

Protocol - 140 mg test 2x a week (280 mg test), 50mcg T3 daily

Week 1 - T3 results
Down 3.6 lbs (normal rate with current diet/workout is around 1-2 lbs weekly)
Waist down .5"

Sides:
Elevated BP - 140/80 (back down to 127/77)
Headache - started day 7, went away day 8
Fatigue - finally going away day 8

Strength has been pretty consistent. Been increasing if anything. Never did a test cycle before so maybe making slight gains even at 280mg week?

I plan on sticking it out for another week to see if I can replicate the 3+ lb weight loss this week. Then I know its not a fluke.

[gearbox]

Good to you. I doubt the weight loss is a fluke. Some have more to lose then othere. 280 of test is plenty to see or feel strength or just better overall.
and bp fluctuates a lot through out the day so measure more then once to get an accurate reading.
keep up the good work.

If you're able to keep it under control you're fine. Pre-hypertension needs to be monitored very carefully. If you get close to stage-1 hypertension, abort. It can get up there faster than you think. This is why you need to be extra cautious. I usually monitor 6 to 7 times per week. Recently failed to monitor for a week and found myself at stage-2 hypertension. Very dangerous. It was not related to T3, but the point is when you're taking something that may cause issues, the more you can monitor the better.

Will do. Checking daily. Seems to be going back down. If things go well ill continue t3 for a month.
