bill roberts has said he used a 12.5mcg dose for 6 months with no noticeable thyroid suppression after coming off.

said it aided him in staying lean...

anyone every try this?... my biggest concern would be effects on the heart long term and of course thyroid suppression.

might be good for next summer ... Cytolmel-T350mcg-1.webp
 
Good question for the short term I feel it should be double your natural production, but long term I don't see it. If your making say 20 naturally how would you benefit from replacing one for the other? Test same way. If your making say 800 ng/dl why you substitute with something that will only bring you up to that same level? Idk.. It's fun to experiment tho.
 
good article here

https://thinksteroids.com/steroid-profiles/cytomel/

and a bill roberts quote from another forum

A mere 12.5 mcg/day, which is at most only half-replacement. I intitially recommended cycling off, to be completely certain not to harm anyone with my advice, but as for myself, was pretty sure it could be used indefinitely. I used it for 6 months or so straight (did not make a record of the dates though so the number is not precise) with zero problems. Not one person has had the slightest problem. Yet the benefits are obviously noticeable. I'd say it is worth, all else staying the same, 0.5 lb of fat per week if not really dieting, and more than that if thyroid is otherwise depressed from dieting.

Actually it may be better than this, because when not really dieting, I ate considerably more calories, I would think 500 per day extra or more, yet slowly lost fat, so that would work out to more like 1 lb per week. But in early weeks of dieting, where fat loss would be good anyway and thyroid was not yet depressed, it was not worth 1 extra lb -- in other words, it didn't push a 2 lb per week diet to 3 lb per week, but only 2.5. I don't know the reason for the apparent discrepancy.
 
I would be interested to see if there is any effect on muscle loss... If you are constantly burning cals you in theory would constantly be burning muscle if you are at a trt dose. Now if you are running some AAS with it it will help to prevent this but i would still question it. It could be such a low amount it may not even effect muscle mass much at all but like I said its still burning stuff up.... IMO i would not run it that long unless my goal was to lose weight that long. It seems like a lazy mans way to eat more lol...
 
in some articles and post he was claiming that the low dose was good as nutrient partitioning and would help in building muscle.

and lazy mans way to eat more.... sounds exactly like my goal,.... mmmm more food!!!!
 
i have never read T3 building muscle, everything I have read was the exact opposite... That being said if you were eating in a surplus to gain mass T3 may have some of the benifits of partitioning but at a cal deficit no way. Now I know he said was eating 500cal above dieting or more but i just dont buy that it has a positive effect on muscle mass. When your thyroud is increased you are burning everything... It may work but I would have to guess everything has to be dialed in.. Just does not seem worth it to me. But to each their own when it comes to that. I dont judge
 
i just started but using 12.5 daily for a while to help with my recovery out of diet mode
 
Don't worry Krusty starting today I'll be running T-3 & Clen. I can update everyone with my results as they come if anyone is interested.

Defiantly, I will be starting a clen as well. Let us know what you are dosing at and also the AAS you are using and the plan or training involved and diet. I always love logs and peoples first hand experience. Thats where I learn the most.
 
Second day on .25mcgs of T-3. Clen not in yet but, upon arrival I'll be taking T-3 up to .50mcgs.
 
Well I have been doing low dose t3 for a few weeks now...12.5mcg every morning. .. my calories have averaged over 3000 daily... and I haven't put on any fat... I may have even dropped a very small amount... only negative to report is the increase appetite is messing with my head... every day I feel like I am eating too much... but the mirror and scale tell another story.

I'm on my trt of 125mg of test a week ..and 100mg of deca for the old joints.. hope that's enough with this low dose to hold my muscle

Nice, are you going to continue this all the way up to your next cycle?
 
krustus said:
not sure... definitely til the end of summer

Do you think your diet is more lax because your taking the T3 and that if you were off it would be hard to maintain your current look? I ask because on this cut I am using clen and it defiantly helps with the appetite suppression eating at a very slight caloric deficite. T3 for a bit after a cut cycle may help to ease back into a more balanced diet. Also do you think 3000 cals would be too high if you were not on t3??
 
yes...fairly sure the T3 is allowing me some freedom on the diet... while staying fairly lean. almost like i'm now one of those guys that can't put on fat...lol.

and T3 after this cut helping ease me into a normal diet.... not sure yet... might make it harder to get down to a true maintenance once i drop the T3?

Thats kind of my thought too... I know there will undoubtedly be some weight rebound coming of clen and tren unless the diet is in tip top shape. Body composition and muscle mass will change slightly after a couple months but thats to be expected.. Let us know how this goes as I am interested to see if this will be a benefit or an obstacle to getting to a steady manageable weight. Thanks for the info my friend.
 
Looking forward to results

thats why im using it, reduce rebound, give a buffer in diet, and help with energy

What are your thoughts on it?

seems reasonable to use a low dose 25 mg or less daily to assist in diet or rebound after a diet without real concern for long term damage or shutdown. coach told me to use 12.5 daily right now, i bumped it to 25 cause it wakes me up more, still fighting a lot of fatigue
