 After T3...

I'm thinking of starting a cycle of T3. I've read the other posts about the thyroid risks, but my question is different. A friend in the gym told me that it works great while on it, but that after you come off it, you gain fat even faster than before (something to do with repressed natural production of T3, I think). Anyone with personal experience out there who can tell me if this was true for them or not? thanks.     | ||

Your friend is right to some degree. It does cause T3 suppression and may cause you to gain a little fat back. But as long as you taper correctly it shouldn't happen to much of a degree. What I and decaman both did/doing is to take clen and ECA for two weeks after the t3 has ended to try and help keep the fat of while the thyroid is normalizing. I HAVEN'T heard of many people gaining much fat back though. But the longer and stonger the cycle you do, the more likely this is to happen. Take ECA and/or clen for two weeks after the t3 is done and you should be alright. ------------------ [This message has been edited by Maverik (edited August 29, 2000).] [This message has been edited by Maverik (edited August 29, 2000).] | ||

You have to do T3 intelligently... you must taper up and down with the product so the thyroid doesn't get confused or shut down. Look for cycles of T3 that last no longer than five weeks, or try something like this (one pill = 25 mcg) Day 1-5: 1 tablet The effectiveness of the T3 can be increased with the concurrent use of clenbuterol and/or an ECA stack. BUT! Do not take both clen and ECA at the same time. Alternate between the two every two weeks. | ||

I think Decaman is using Clen and ECA together along with T3. Mav, is that the same cycle you refer to? Comments? | ||

Yes xtreemrush, that is the cycle I am referring to and the same one I am doing. You can combine clen and ECA but it will definitely increase the side effects and is a little harder on the heart, I would think. But it is not recommended to do so if you have any heart problems because the potential for problems increases. Take T3 and then switch beteen clen and ECA to see how you do. If you handle it fine without any serious reactions then you can experiment with stacking them together. But if you have never done clen and t3 together then don't stack clen with ECA until you see how your body reacts to the other stuff. You might not even need it. Peace...Mav ------------------ | ||

Two fold issue with respect to your question. If the user does not taper t3 appropriatly, once use ceases the lack of thyroid hormone will cause a massive rebound of adipos tissuer. This can be minimized, virtually eleminated by a proper "come down". Second, your somatoform plays an important role here. Endomorphic bodybuilders will experience weight gain in the form of fat. ------------------  |
