Thread: T3 while bulking?

I saw someone post this question on a different board. No one really replied. I'm curious too:

Heard some people using T3 while on bulking cycle, will it affect the gains in any way?

I think I've seen a few questions about T3 lately.

That's a very broad question, but the simple answer is….I'm not sure. I'm familiar with the pharmacokinetics of T3, but lack a personal usage history.

In my experience, T3 simply isn't potent enough to solely offset the fat gain (even minutely) of a bulking diet that DOESN'T restrict macronutrients (like old school off-season bulking). Don't misunderstand me it's a great synthetic hormone, but its street rep isn't wholly indicative of its actual effects, nor do its effects turn the metabolic rate up high enough to negate overt dietary negligence, hence its expressed usage during cutting. Conversely, during a clean bulking cycle, i.e., one that is cognizant of macros and overall caloric intake en route to lean muscle increase, I do see slight implications for its usage. However, it still seems wasteful as genuine Cytomel is not cheap, and is best administered as a finishing compound.

I'm sure another experienced vet will chip in!

I love T3 while in the off season...a low dose of that (25mcg) along with gh, slin, and test is a perfect off season where you can grow big and stay lean.
