    Default T3 administration and calorie expenditure increase

    Looking for some input from more senior/experienced members with regards to T3 administration.

    I would like to know to what degree/effect/percent do thyroid (T3) alter/increase calorie expenditure?

    AND I KNOW!, there is many variables and factors to consider, everyone is different and will have different results. I know, I preach it. Looking for personal experience from members.

    Reason for this thread, if since came off a prep cycle where I was taking T3, weight was about 230lbs with 4-5% bf 2 weeks out. Problem is though, even though I was only doing 1 20min cardio session x5 a week and 5 weight sessions my glycogen depleted very quick, within 1-2 days and I was eating 14 cal per pound.

    Any input?

    It's difficult to say, honestly.

    There was a study done in women taking 20mcg 4 times a day which showed an increase of 93 more grams of bodyweight dropped a day with T3 supplementation as opposed to without the T3.

    The study did not say what kind of tissue was lost, though.

    You can surmise that while on an anabolic cocktail and a hypocaloric diet plus weight training and cardio that the amount of tissue lost while on T3 would be substantially higher, and you can further postulate that the tissue being lost will be pure fat tissue considering the anti-catabolic effects the anabolics have. But like I said, it's difficult to get any kind of approximate numbers here.

    Your glycogen depletion issue could have been from so many other variables, though. It's difficult to say that T3 was the main causal factor there. Trenbolone is known to increase the rate of glycosis, for instance, and in conjucture with weight loss drugs, cardio, incremental decreases in calories, less sleep, etc... who's to say what the culprit was.

    Not to mention, 14 calories per pound for you would have been around 3200 calories. I burn that masturbating once a day. You were doing 100 minutes of cardio a week on top of at least 5 hours of weight training a week on top of drugs that inherently speed up your metabolic processes on top of a calorie restricted diet. I would be surprised if you weren't feeling depleted...

    FYI, read a study also on T3 administration only in 2 controlled groups. The weight lose was about 75% fat and 25% muscle. That being said, it was T3 given to 'normal' folks, no additional drugs and/or training.

    So maybe I should direct my question differently, how may calories then to diet +-?

    Drugs included:

    Masteron
    Winstrol
    Test
    Clen and ECA alternated
    T3
    & Arimadex

    And you are 100% correct, felt every depleted and my pumps where non-existent! My diet is a high carb, 1.5g protein per pound and low fat diet.
