Effects of Cytomel T3 (thyroid stimulant)?

Question:

Now I know what if does and how it works. I also know many bodybuilders use it to drop excess fat, which i believe is illegal. But thats beside the point. Now I am in excellent shape with perfect blood pressure and perfect cholesterol at 11% body fat. I want to cut down to 8-9% by november for a competition. Now "if" i were to use cytomel t3 in a pyramid cycle for 4 weeks would it really effect me. I've ased numerous bodybuilders and they said its not a problem as long as you dont take more then 100mcg/day for no longer then 6 weeks in a pyramid cycle (wk 1: 25mcg, wk 2: 50mcg, wk 3: 50 mcg, wk 5: 25 mcg). Now I want a second opinion, as I will also consult my doctor.

These tests include the thyroid-stimulating hormone test (TSH), the thyroxine test (T4), the triiodothyronine test (T3), the thyroxine-binding globulin test (TBG), the triiodothyronine resin uptake test (T3RU), and the long-acting thyroid stimulator test (LATS

Use of a throid hormone would be most unwise. It would increase your metabolism and need for O2 as well as other effects of throid hormones.
