We all know that we will generally lose some muscle postcycle. We also know that T3 eats muscle and fat indiscriminately. So what if we decided to take T3 towards the end of a cycle which should, in turn, temporarily reduce our own thyroid production during postcycle? Asssuming we were getting enough cals during the end of the cycle, we would have increased protein utilization followed by a period of low thyroid output during PCT. Would this help limit the muscle loss found postcycle? If we could control cortisol with Phosphatidylserine, could this be the magic bullet we are looking for to limit muscle loss postcycle?

Whatcha all think? Prolly would not be the most productive PCT weeks of our lives but, assuming you could handle the crash, would this retain some LBM until we get our endogenous test levels back up?

Which is the same as not dropping calories like a madman, why rely on the thyroid to do that. I didn't lose any muscle this time, so now on my next cycle I dont have any catchup to play with.

and mudge you said that you credit a lot of that to running what was it nolva during the cycke in low dosages?

I've leaning towards using T3 and IGF-1 after my next cycle...

I started T3 on tuesday and they are not lying when they say you are a sweat machine. My body temp is 99.2 and I am going to the bathroom about twice as much. I am only taking 12.5 mcg as of right now, but tomorrow I am starting 25 mcg. I will bump it up every 4 days by 12.5mcg.

I was running letrozol and switched to femera when I ran out of that. I was also running HCG every 4-5 days.

I had a hard time with recouperation in the past using traditional methods which is why I did the PCT sticky, I had to find a way to stop this stupid issue. Basically I would lose size when coming off (sadly much of it was probably dietary mistakes), and strength would drop off almost instantly. So I would go from one cycle into another and play catch up.

I am glad to have waited so that such good PCT was available. My ex-friend who's trials and tribulations have been put up on here still does not research and from what I have heard takes 2 steps forward and then takes 2 steps back. Another friend has wisened up and is currently on PCT for his last cycle which ended a bit ago.
