Hi Prae,
I've done a lot of reading on T3 and I still feel as though I don't know enough about it. I understand that these thyroid hormones speed up metabolism and help to burn fat, but since it affects virtually the ENTIRE body, I'm worried that a lot of what might be lost is muscle mass. I have been pretty successful this year in getting down to my desired body fat, so I feel as though T3 isn't necessary. But the thing is, my friend has a lot of it (he is planning on competing) and he's offering it to me for FREE. So I'm wondering whether or not I should try it. Will it cause me to lose size? I've been cutting for a long time now and my doses for test and gh have always been low. Will I need to increase them in order to maintain size while on T3? Currently on: 300mg Test, 2 IU of HGH, and 25 mg of Proviron. No longer doing Keto even though I did it from February to June. Funny thing is that I weigh so much less now and people guess my weight at 20 lbs heavier than I actually am. Whereas when I was fatter and at 200 lbs, people always thought I weighed LESS.
A few off topic questions as well: Have you personally experienced a lot of negative reactions due to your physique? This was the first summer I've had where I have gotten the results that I wanted, with my calves being my proudest achievement. I can actually wear shorts without feeling like I have tiny legs now! :beer
The problem is that I've also begun to attract a lot of unwanted attention. It was fun in the beginning, with people (all ages, races, genders) saying things like "wow great body. How often do you work out?" etc. But after a while, I've also begun to get a lot of negative attention too. Random people on the street challenging me to fights. People I don't even know who feel the need to walk up to me to say something. I just think it's pretty funny that the average steroid user who looks puffy, fat and undefined doesn't get hassled this frequently, and yet, once you start to get to a certain level of conditioning that looks different than what most people are used to, you get a lot of haters. And I've seen your contest photos, Prae, you are light years ahead of me. So how do YOU personally handle the negative reactions? This is becoming like a daily thing now.
