T3 and muscle loss

[poantrex]

Uh, There's a test for thyroglobulin antibodies. Get it done sometime.

I have talked to a few endos here that use armour, and they say that more frequent
dosage adjustments are necessary with armour becuase the body seems to develop
antibodies to it more quickly than synthetic T3/T4.

I don't remember where I saw research on it though, i'll check.

This is not in reference to people taking dessicated thyroid or liquid t3. This is in refernce to people who have developed an autoimmune disorder from thier own thyroid's production of hormones, wheather hypothyroid or hyperthyroid. And There's nothing in this that talks about shutdown from supplementing t3 in any form hyperthyroid or supplementation.

Graves disease. My step sister had it.

I never understood how people manage to lose muscle with T3. There must be another factor at play here that I do not understand (I suspect it's a shitty diet and eating frequency, no matter what anyone says). I have ran anywhere from 25mcg to 150mcg daily, and have not lost muscle. At 150mcg, my TSH was at 0.01, I believe.

T3 increases the rate of both catabolism and anabolism in the body - making them both faster (depending on dosage). All I did was inceare my meal frequency to 12 (from 9), and voila - no muscle loss.

There is a rationale behind it: synthetically induced hyperthyroidism has been shown to:
1)increase SHBG levels
2)decrease free Testosterone levels
3)elevate estradiol and progesterone serum concentrations
4)higher rates of androgen:estrogen conversion
5)decreased insulin secretion
^^not an anabolic environment if you're 'natural', eh?

On top of that:
1)increased oxidative energy metabolism (calorie deficit would further skew homeostasis)
2)increased Na/K/Ca ATPase which would be a sign of increased metabolism but in calorie deficit (cutting - that's what T3 is for ain't it) maintaining these substrates is virtually impossible which leads to cell death
3)increased heart work - heart want more energy/ATP

Concomittant administration of androgens is recommended but could be avoided by maintaing proper nutrition level and supplementing with 'stuff'

So that's why it makes sense to use Anabolics Clen and T3 all in conjunction.

If your going to take t3, please don’t over do it. You'll shut down your natural t3 for a long time, and end up fatter. There is little "post cycle therapy" to raise your t3 back to normal out there. It will take up to 2 months to get your t3 back. What I suggest is take your morning temp on no stimulants. Your goal should be to bring it to 98.2f (morning temp only counts!). Start off by taking small amounts of t3, increasing every 5 days, until you have reached this point. Anything over and you fuck your natural t3. At 98.2f morning temp, make sure its stable, then keep your t3 dose at that level. Your not going to need a lot of it. Add clen, phen, eca, anything you like to after your temp is set.

Where are you getting your recovery numbers? All of the studies I've seen posted talk about 2-4 week recovery time, and I've bounced back within three weeks always, even after a three-month 150mcg use period.

I'd say "enzyme" is getting his numbers from personal experience with T3.

It works different for different people. You may not lose muscle, but the next guy may burn away like a stick figure.....

You think Bradd Pitt used T3 for Fight Club?
