Arnold not to question your knowledge but does your way of using T3 come from your own experience or have you learned about your way of doing it from researce.
Peace

It comes from both. I used to run t-3 similar to the way you have it outlined above, and I used to use clen on the 2wk on 2wk off method. Why did I do it this way, well, most of what I read on various message boards like this one and guys I knew at the gym used it this way...you know, just the local gym rat drug users, not people with a whole lot of knowledge...so I just assumed this way was the best...I've since learned this is false.
First off, the thyroid has very remarkable properties about it and the body will not stop producing it's own t-3 and t-4 from use of thyroid meds for a time period...not in most cases. True, there are those that this may happen to, but they are in a very small minority, and if it does happen to them, odds are they were going to have thyroid problems later down the road anyway. Now if you stayed on for years at a time, sure, you might shut down your thyroid permanently, but try to look at like you do your other hormones. When you cycle AAS you shut down your natural test production, but low and behold, it comes right back after you stop. But many studies have shown that those who did stay on thyroid replacement therapy for years at a time, almost always recovered their natural thyrod with in very short periods of time...here are some studies you can take a look at that might help out.
*Patterns off recovery of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis in patients taken of chronic thyroid therapy. J Clin Endocrinol Metab 1975 Jul;41(1):70-80 Krugman LG, Hershman JM, Chopra IJ, Levine GA, Pekary E, Geffner DL, Chua Teco GN
*Recovery of pituitary thyrotropic function after withdrawal of prolonged thyroid-suppression therapy. N Engl J Med 1975 Oct 2;293(14):681-4 Vagenakis AG, Braverman LE, Azizi F, Portinay GI, Ingbar SH.
As for clen and why I think you should use it non stop once on, check out some of the stuff posted in the clinical studies link at the top of the page.
Last off, if it helps at all, I've used clen and t-3 for up to 16wk straight through and had zero problems coming off...and yes, I burned fat the entire time...the stuff did not stop working. Actually, on the t-3 I've ran this for 20wks straight before, building up to my highest dose duering a 15wk cycle and tapering down the last 4wks after the diet...again, no problems. Am I the only person I know that does it this way? No, not at all. I actually now know several people who do it this way, people I know personally, both men and women. In short, the stuff doesn't stop working after short periods of time...just because you don't feel jittery or what not does not mean your body is unaware that it's in there...your body does become accustomed to it in a manner of speaking to where the "shock" of these drugs is over, but the fat burning properties are still alive and well.
Not sure if all this helps...hope it does.
