Not directly related but an interesting anecdote.
When I was natty, around 20 years old I basically over trained and starved my self into "starvation mode" maybe... Grew up fat and went years of super low carb, working out 7 days a week, 2 a days etc.
Testosterone, cortisol and T3 were all below range and Reverse T3 was above range.
I could take 200mcg or more of T3 at a time and felt nothing. Research liquids, mexican generics and Cytomel from US pharmacies all had the same effect - nothing.
I was still considered "big" by general population (wouldnt be here though lol). Never been able to figure out what was going on.
