T3 and T4

Thanks for the info.

Good advice.

Thanks for the reply. I am not using any GLP-1. I am 6'1 and around 170 pounds, just aiming for a lean summer look. I was curious because I do not see much talk about thyroid compounds.

I can speak to that goal. Assuming you want to cut, have you tried the usual thermogenic fat burners? Besides anavar, clen, salbutamol and similar compounds there are also diuretics you could consider.

I would skip clen. You can get results from fat burners and modafinil. GLP-1 compounds can also help with recomp. PEG-MGF, IGF-1 DES, BPC, and TB-500 pair well with anavar too.

If the only goal is getting ready for summer, thyroid meds would be the last thing I would add. Low-dose reta, test, GH or tesamorelin, and mots-c are safer and more effective choices. I have used T4 and T3 on and off and they are not something to start just to get leaner when you are otherwise healthy.

Have you ever run anavar by itself and then used enclomiphene or something similar for PCT? I understand suppression is an issue but I do not want to end up on TRT.

Yes, on my last var run I got acne on my scalp. I used anastrozole then tamoxifen for PCT. Still, I would avoid TRT for now. I am currently running var with anastrozole during the cycle.

I know this is not the main topic, but you have mentioned modafinil a few times. What effects do you notice and what dose do you use? I ordered some 100 mg tabs but have not tried them yet. They came up when I was looking for ADHD options.

It was created for narcolepsy and promotes wakefulness without the jittery feeling of caffeine. It improves clarity and focus, reduces appetite, and increases energy. I take 200 mg tablets. I am not sure how well it helps ADHD but it does lift mood. There are other similar compounds. Start with half of a 100 mg tablet. You could also try euphoria.

Thyroid hormones? Definitely. They can make your heart race like a jackhammer.

Nice, I already have enclomiphene and tamoxifen.

Then you just need anastrozole and you can do the summer look you are after.

I take 60 mg of selenomethionine daily. My thyroid numbers were normal but I wanted to optimize. After a little over three weeks I feel better. I stopped briefly at the start and noticed a mood dip, so I resumed. My DHEA was low so I tried 15 mg every other day but stopped after a week due to irritability.

I agree with that suggestion. When I used enclomiphene it raised my testosterone but also gave high estrogen symptoms. I did not need a prescription AI; arimistane at 25 mg twice a day brought my E2 back to baseline. I have a chart showing the results if anyone wants to see it.

I would use both anastrozole and tamoxifen to block estrogen through two different mechanisms. One stops conversion while the other competes at the receptor. That covers the bases and helps avoid sides.

Just to clarify, those other compounds I mentioned are also orals.

I know. I was just agreeing with the oral-only approach you outlined.

Fair enough. Keep in mind you only get beginner gains once, so the choice is yours. I dislike injections because of the pain, but somatomedin and MGF versions pair very well with anavar.

I have never tried MGFs. Can you tell me more?

IGF-1, also called somatomedin, is a major driver of muscle growth but competes with insulin on glucose handling. MGF is the spliced variant that promotes growth. PEG-MGF is the longer-acting form that supports steady gains and fat loss. It can be injected under the skin on the stomach with no pain and no effect on natural hormone production.
