last three preps ive used thyrodials, like otc gaspari's thyrotabs twice, and t3 once. This last prep I didnt use any thyroid "supplements" I dieted hard, 1.5-2 hours of cardio a day and while lean for the average person, quite bad for a classic physique competition.
talk to my doctor he said "they" dont do t3 tests anymore much and rely on tsh and t4 tests. my tsh was borderline low like 5.2-5.3 in my yearly checkup and would like to convince my doctor to get a t3 tests, but ive been refused an estrogen test before, and some doctors are stubborn and when insurance pays for it, it may not wise to drop a doctor bc they wont do every little thing , so it can be a compromise.
I would always go off and only use them for competing. I hate to rely on thyroids every contest prep , it seems when i use them I just get in much greater condition than when I dont
any advice?
