Thinking about a T3 and Clenbuterol cycle for a serious cut. Has anyone here run this combination? What kind of results did you see? I'm particularly interested in dosage protocols, timing, and any advice on managing side effects like jitters or muscle wasting. Let me know your thoughts.
This is a powerful combination for fat loss, but it requires careful management. The risk of muscle catabolism with T3 is real, especially without a protective anabolic compound. Clenbuterol can also be tough on the heart. What's your experience level and what other compounds are you considering?
I agree with CycleCoach. Clenbuterol's cardiac effects are a major concern. It's crucial to monitor heart rate and blood pressure closely. For T3, starting at a very low dose and titrating up is key. I'd also suggest tapering off to avoid a thyroid crash.
My recommendation is to pair this with a solid anabolic like Testosterone to prevent muscle loss. A common protocol for T3 is a pyramid scheme, starting low (e.g., 25mcg) and peaking (e.g., 75-100mcg), then tapering back down. Clen is often dosed in a 2-weeks-on, 2-weeks-off pattern.
Thanks for the feedback. I was planning on running it alongside a low dose of Test Prop and Tren Ace. The pyramid approach for T3 makes sense. What about the diet and cardio? Should I be more aggressive?
From a harm reduction perspective, let's not forget the importance of a comprehensive PCT. After a cycle with T3, your natural thyroid function needs time to recover. Also, consider liver and kidney support supplements.
WellnessWave is right. The recovery phase is just as critical. I'd also recommend blood work both pre-cycle and post-cycle to assess thyroid and liver function. What about post-cycle support for the thyroid?
Diet-wise, a moderate caloric deficit is sufficient. T3 and Clen will do a lot of the heavy lifting. Aggressive deficits can further increase muscle loss. Cardio should be consistent but not overly intense; think LISS (Low-Intensity Steady-State) to preserve muscle tissue.
Regarding PCT for T3, a slow taper is the best strategy. Once you've tapered down to the lowest dose (e.g., 25mcg), some users continue for a week or two at that dose before stopping. No specific PCT drugs are used, it's all about letting the body regulate itself.
Okay, so a moderate deficit, LISS cardio, and a slow T3 taper. Good to know. What about the duration of the cycle? 8 weeks, 10 weeks?
