what do you think about my proposal to take just 1 tab of T3 per day while on Gh?


thanks dude,
Humalog shouldn't be any more expensive than Humalin R....online Canadian pharmacies sell it cheap with no script. The reason Humalog is superior is its shorter activity.....we don't want insulin at high activities throughout the day. We're using it for very specific reasons at very specific times. Number 1 is post w/o to replenish depleted muscle glycogen stores, and number two to shuttle nutrients (primarily amino acids) into the muscles. Our diet while insulin is active should be very high protein, limited carbs, and no fat. The critical window for post w/o nutrient replenishment is only an hour or so....An IM dose of Humalog will peak at roughly this time and the activity will last about 4hrs (going IM). Humalin R is slower to peak, and is active for a longer duration, which only means more potential to store fat IMO, since we're engorging muscles with an overabundance of amino acids in the first 30min-2hrs after workout, the time when it''s most valuable, there isn't a great desire to have insulin activity beyond this, as it's more harm than good.. The other excellent time for insulin is in the AM upon waking. Insulin is very anticatabolic, and cortisol levels are highest early in the morning, so if one isn't on an AAS cycle, then an AM insulin shot is very beneficial.

GH will suppress endogenous T3 to some degree. using just one 25mcg tab may be beneficial just to replace what is being suppressed (although how much suppression occurs is unclear). If you're really looking to cut, then actually using T3 above and beyond maintenance would be better suited
