Hey guys just wondering what your sort of experiences have been with the use of t3 both during gaining phases and cutting phases. Would be good if you could include things such as:
- Your goal at the time (bulking/cutting)
- How much you used
- Did you feel flat or depleted/losses in strength
As far as i understand it is a tool thats useful up to around 50-60mcg to increase protein synthesis before the balance swings in favour of an overall protein degradation. Therefore if you were aiming to gain, going past 60ish mcg would be counter productive.
However in a cutting phase. If you ate enough protein (just say the magic number was 400g of protein for a 250lbs male on 100mcg per day) then theoretically you can maintain complete muscle mass and the additional calorie expenditure would come from fat stores?
Also was curious on anyone's knowledge in regards to the "flatness" everyone speaks of? Does anyone know the exact mechanism or why it occurs? Is it a lack of protein? Calories? Electrolytes? Etc. And at what dosage does this become relevant/noticable
