Thinking of trying T3!

[Jet Labs]

I'm currently In a deficit doing daily cardio and looking to boost my fat loss so I'm thinking of adding t3 for 6-8 weeks or so. 25mcg first week then bump to 50mcg for 5-6 weeks then drop down to 25 for another week then stop. Has anyone experienced bad sides from T3? Thanks.

Metabolism / fat loss most def slows with age. It’s similar as testosterone decreases, metabolism ... each decade, slows more and more.

Correct, which is why your maintenance calories decrease.

Do you know your maintenance cals and do you track?

Yes. I'm going to drop a meal and add a bit more daily cardio and see how fat loss goes.

Just make sure you track, I half ass coach some friends of friends(won’t take money from friends or family), inevitably their issues are directly due to not tracking and/or “snacking” and not listing the snacks.

Yup I track, but online calculators are not exact so dropping a meal/adding cardio should improve my results.

Recovery, sure, fat loss, no, @malfeasance, what’s your experience with fat loss at your age? Fat loss may be harder in that your maintenance calories may be lower, but, as long as you’re eating under maintenance, your fat loss shouldn’t be harder. Throw in cardio and you should be fine.

It gets harder with age, but the body responds to the same things.

When in my teens and 20s, natty, I could get striations by cutting out bacon and whole milk, LOL!

It is more difficult after 40, and even more so after 50, but, damn it, you pull out calories and add cardio based on the scale and the mirror (or photos), not based upon your age.

My younger wife has a much harder time cutting than I do, mainly because of my size compared to her petiteness (LOL!).

HGH definitely helps staying lean or getting lean, but it certainly does increase blood pressure due to water retention. I am more sensitive to blood pressure due to my age. This is something I am always checking, almost daily.

I refuse to do this anymore because 100% of them do not follow what I say.

I add in 50 a day here or there . . . the results with respect to fat loss are not dramatic, so it is only added in where every last little bit adds up to help.

I never touch that sort of thing until after the scale is moving in the correct direction based on diet alone.

I don't drop meals. I just increase protein (which requires more meals or lots of meals) and play with fats and carbohydrates to get the effect I want.

I always keep protein high while cutting, which means a lot of meat, which means a lot of meals. I don't use a lot of protein powder or things like that.

I tell them if they don’t track I can’t help, literally no idea what to fix if you don’t know what you’re eating.

It’s funny how many people (friends, family) ask me for help and I say the same thing. Track your calories. The number one response is “I don’t have time for that”. Or “fuck that, I know how much I eat”...

I always respond with, “well then you don’t have time to achieve X goal and I can’t help you cause that’s literally 90% of what you need to do”.

Or I get the opposite problem with some females. “I lost too much weight and I want my butt back, what exercises do I do?” Keep doing your leg workout and add in some fork raises. “I don’t want to gain weight.” Good luck with your endeavor.

Hahah for sure. I think what kills me the most is people have time to play games in their phone, watch pointless YouTube videos or watch tv in general. But if you mention to them they need to take 5 min of their life to help achieve the goal they want, it’s like pulling fingernails...

Like, even mentioning meal prep is a fucking shit show with most people. “WTF you mean I have to cook food for the whole week, that’s gonna take forever... I have to fucking weigh it too?!?!?!? Nah dude”. Smh.

Squats! Leg Presses!

My wife is a competitor, and, of course, all her friends want to look like her, but they are soon asking if they cannot substitute this or that for squats or leg presses, or this or that fluffy carb food for protein, LOL! Squats and leg presses are hard, especially once a female finds out she does indeed have the strength in her legs to press with "the big plates" on each side.

Her friend she has been trying to help, can't figure out how to eat 150 grams of protein, even after my wife laid out an entire day of meals for her . . . and she wanted to know what kind of cereal to eat for breakfast. "You did not see the Quaker Old Fashioned Oats?" LOL! She meant like Lucky Charms or Honey Nut Cheerios . . .

You mean you can’t just do Pilates and get your ass back? Oh, forget it then.

I don't get the fear mongering with T3/T4 it's been shown it bounces back even in people they discontinued from like 10+ years of using it.

I personally think there is zero reason to ever go above 50mcg unless you like looking flat as hell. Have never experienced adverse side effects and if you are running a cycle with it you should be totally fine. You could even run 25mcg as a replacement dose to keep you chugging in your deficit and it can still be beneficial.

If you're running GH just throw in 50-100mcg of T4 instead if not T3 can definitely help with your cut.

Always buy pharma grade or don't bother when it comes to T3/T4 imo.

T3 + Inj. L carnitine + fasted cardio + a fat burner like EC can be a quite potent combo with a proper cut and will get you peeled.

What exactly does the l cartinnine do? I see it hyped on pro muscle for profit, do you and people you know actually see something from it>
