I think you'll lose the intended benifits of T3 after just a few weeks if you do not adjust the dose upward. Reason being, your natural TSH levels will re-equilibrate to a lower level during that time and reduce your own natural T3 levels so that the net gain on total T3 levels will be zero after 2-3 weeks at the same low dose.
Low dose continuous supplementation is benificial if you are also running HGH due to the interaction between the two at the hypothalamic level,but not for a purely AAS cycle that does not contain HGH.
If your goal is cutting,you'll be happier if you ramp and taper. Either method poses no danger of long term T3 permanent damage.
Well, you know your shit.
I am with you on this one, bro.
In my current precontest, I planned to run a low dose of t3 throughout the cycle. I don't have much of a problem, ever, leaning down so I wasn't doing it strictly for that purpose. More of an 'insurance', so to speak. I also wanted the benefits of it helping to keep water off.
Admittedly, I did assume that the t3 would have a constant metabolic spike to it, though. It didn't. In fact, it is helping to keep the water off nicely at 40mcg. for the past few months. However, there is little in the way of a metabolic spike. Yes, I still get a bit warm for the first hour or so after taking it but it isn't doing much else. After about 3 weeks, it just didn't seem to have the same affect on my metabolism.
This is my first run of t3 at low dose for an extended time period. In the future, I will use it in a taper mode and go up quite a bit higher before coming down.
Let me add, simply as an FYI, that most guys cycle their t3 to stop around contest time. I recommend that you run it about 4 weeks after a show, if not longer. ESPECIALLY if you are one of those guys that grubs down after a show for a week or so and tends to put back quite a bit of weight in that time period. A massive influx of calories and stopping t3 dosing at the same time, is not a great idea.
Just my opinion but........
