T3 in your system?

[Daveb19]

im going to do a state bodybuilding natural comp in early November, i know t3 isnt a steroid so im not sure if they even test for it, but If I was to take about 50 tabs starting say next week would it show up in November or do they even test for it since its not a roid??? someone please answer

[preist943]

ive never heard of anyone testing for t-3 and i realy dont think they would at a state show ofcourse you have to think about its a natural comp extra t-3 isnt natural its a choice i guse ofcourse i also know everyone there probley isnt a real natural anyway hope you do well thoe

thanx for such a fast reply, well I dont plan on using it at all during those weeks out dieting before the comp, but I have been on a no carb diet for about 5 weeks now and im down to about 7-8%body fat and just want to take a few weeks of t3 to shred the rest of this off for the summer, if anything I see this making me do worse in the show since Im risking losing mass...

Hey i was told today T3 will be tested for in a state comp and even it i took it for only a few weeks by NOV it will still come up, can someone give me a straight answer about if t3 will be tested for in a state comp and how long would it stay in me?

Seriously doubt they would be testing for T-3 at the state level...it does not show up in a urine analysis, and most BB competitions don't permit intrusive testing such as blood tests.

If, however, you live in the great state of BigBrotherVille, and you actually WERE tested for T-3 specifically, the metabolites are virtually indistinguishable from the T-3 produced by your thyroid gland...unless you are/were following those ridiculous 1mcg per lb. of bodyweight guidelines that were postulated a few years ago. Even in that case, after 30-45 days of usage, your thyroid function, and thus the measurable levels of T-3 in your bloodstream (note, your BLOODSTREAM, not your urine) should be back to normal levels.

I wouldn't use the T3 without gear. You'll sacrifice your mass, IMO.

shit here we go again, I was told this would happen and this wouldnt happen, by people who both seem to have their fair share of knowledge can someone clear this up, I cannot afford nor want to use any roids right now. But i do want to get more shredded up and fast. if its true that I will lose mass, how much, and is their any "natural" ways to avoid this.?

Just keep carbs & fat low, protein up (at least 1g per lb bodyweight), and continue your normal workout regimen, much as it may suck with the T-3 energy drain.

I'm curious though - if you're concerned with losing mass, maybe you're not approaching this correctly. If you are just using the T-3 for summer weight loss, don't be too concerned with a 5-8 lb. LBM loss. If you are using it precontest to get shredded, use it for only the last 6-8 weeks precontest.

There's no doubt about it, you WILL lose some LBM with T-3, but you can ameliorate that with a high protein, low fat/carb diet. I wouldn't count on the T-3 alone to get you shredded, but combined with cardio and diet, it definitely gives you a leg up on the competition.
