Im looking to keep fat gain minimal during my next cycle. Im going to do cardio 3x per week, and keep my diet very clean using moderate carbs and fats, with high protein.
Im looking for that extra “edge” that we all seek. From what I hear using T3 during a bulker will help speed up protien synthesis and keep bodyfat down. Is this true? As anyone tried it with and without and noticed a difference? What dosage should be used?
Thanks guys

If you’re going to use T3 to increase protein turnover rates, I’ve heard 12.5mcg/day is enough, and this dosage wont fully suppress natural thyroid production.
However. If you are on a ‘bulker’ then you will undoubtedly be eating large amounts of carbs, which will cause a subsequent rise in T3 anyways. Probably also leading to a rise in protein turnover anyways. Although it is true that some report feeling fuller and more vascular and I’ve also heard AAS work better when on low dose T3 and can even keep bloat down when on a cycle of aromatizing androgens.
In order to get the best of both worlds (stay ripped and eat lots like some pros), you’d need to up your T3 to a high dosage like 75 or 100mcg (some pros even use risky 150mcg or 200mcg) and correspondingly take lots of AAS and maybe even GH.
I wouldn’t use T3 for a mass-gaining cycle. To improve fat loss or help prevent fat gain during such a phase, I’d honestly recommend Hot-Rox over T3 or even clen, ECA, etc. Also use non-aromatizing androgens like winny, tren, etc.
I’m with Archaic on this one. Your classic ephedrine and caffeine should keep you lean enough during a bulking cycle. I think using T3 might be a little overboard. I’d rather use it with a cutting cycle and throw some GH into the mix too. Good luck.
i have always said if you are going to bulk then bulk. if you want to cut then cut. both dont work well together. you end up with a half assed cycle when its done. for me the only reason to run any steroid with t3 is to stave off muscular atrophy. prop works quite well. but again, this is only for cutting. i would say save the t3 until about 4 weeks post. then run a nice t3/clen/eca type protocol with maybe 200mgs/wk if primo.
