WHAT IS YK-11?

YK-11 is a drug that is both a SARM and a myostatin inhibitor, making it one of the most powerful SARMs. It produces more substantial anabolic effects compared to classic steroids.

YK-11 produces more potent anabolic effects than classic steroids, but does not have the same side effects as DHT, such as hair loss and enlarged prostate. The substance inhibits the growth and differentiation of muscle tissue, which acts as a regulator of skeletal muscle mass. It binds to the androgen receptor and encourages muscle cells to produce more follistatin, which can then increase muscle mass.

The medicine is ideal for people looking to build muscle mass. In addition, it is ideal for the bodybuilder who wants to maintain and improve muscle build-up after a cycle while controlling fat cells. This is the main reason for its widespread popularity: good effectiveness, ability to maintain muscle and lose weight, and minimal side effects.

CHARACTERISTICS

• Classification: SARM
• Active Half-life: 4-6 hours
• Dosage: 5-30mg a day
• Water Retention: No
• Aromatization: No

YK-11 BENEFITS

• Increased muscle mass, fat loss and improved bone health are the main effects that make the drug so popular and frequently used in sports. It is used for both bulking and cutting cycles. Its main advantages are:
• Increased muscle mass without water retention and increased strength – stimulated muscle cells’ production will lead to a good increase in muscle mass. With it, you can gain at least 10 pounds of quality muscle in an 8 week cycle.
• Increased bone strength – By binding to androgen receptors in bones, it stimulates an improvement in bone mineral density, ultimately improving bone strength and health. This allows you to lift heavy weights and maintain increased muscle growth.
• It helps burn fat, and especially when you are gaining muscle mass. It speeds up your metabolism and allows you to burn fat even when you are resting. Following a calorie deficit diet and a rigorous exercise regimen will surely achieve superior results.
• It has no side effects of anabolic steroids, so you won’t experience gynecomastia, water retention or high blood pressure.

HOW TO TAKE YK-11?

The drug is taken orally with water. It has a short half-life, so the daily dosage should be divided into several doses, for example:

• if your dosage is 10mg, then take one tablet in the morning after breakfast, or break it into two doses of 5 mg in the morning and evening
• if 15 mg per day, then 5 mg in the morning, lunch, and evening

The standard dosage is considered to be between 5mg and 10mg per day. The cycle lasts 10-12 weeks. You can take 15 mg, but then the risk of side effects increases, although there are cases of high dosages of YK-11 without side effects. Each organism is individual and perceives everything differently; therefore, it is recommended to take tests before prescribing a dosage.

By taking 10mg daily, the medication will promote muscle building in a short period of time. To avoid risks, beginners should use low doses to control their body’s response and are likely to increase the amount over time, depending on their observation.

To achieve maximum results, it is necessary to increase the daily protein intake (13,5 g per 10 lbs of body weight), follow a complete diet filled with vitamins, nutrients, and sufficient calorie intake, and train intensively with large weights. YK-11 has healthy enough effects to be taken solo; however, you can improve the cycle results when combined with SARM or peptides.

PCT

The drug causes a slight suppression of testosterone; therefore, PCT must be performed after using YK-11. On average, the сycle lasts 10-12 weeks, then use Nolvadex and Clomid for 2-3 weeks after the cycle.

FEMALE USE

Women can use YK-11 at low doses, starting at just 0.5mg daily with a maximum of 2mg.

YK-11 CYCLES

The substance is most often used as the only compound in a cycle, as it already yields excellent results. However, continuing users can combine it for better efficiency. Let’s take a look at the different cycle variants:

YK-11 ONLY CYCLE

This is a powerful compound, so you can safely use it at 5mg daily over a 4 to 6-week cycle. If after 4 weeks of the cycle your body responds well to the substance, then you can increase the dosage to 10 or even 15 mg per day.

YK-11 BULKING CYCLE

You can use only YK at a dose 20-30mg per day for 8 weeks, or you can use it in combining with LGD-4033, RAD-140 or MK-2866. The most powerful combination of mass and strength is the combination of the YK-11 with the RAD140. Use 10mg per day of YK-11 and 15mg per day of RAD-140. These doses will give you noticeable strength gains in the first week and provide amazing results in the end.

YK-11 CUTTING CYCLE

Andarine and Cardarine are two compounds that work best when combined with YK-11 for weight loss.

The most commonly used Cardarine (10 mg per day with 5 mg of YK-11 per day), will promote muscle retention, possible gain in muscle mass and, importantly, fat loss and body strengthening without unwanted steroid side effects like water retention or gynecomastia.

POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS AND HOW TO AVOID THEM

YK-11 certainly has fewer side effects compared to anabolic steroids, but it can still trigger some unwanted reactions:

• hair loss
• acne
• suppression of testosterone

Acne and hair loss can occur only in those who are genetically predisposed to them. If none of your family has ever had one, then you aslo will not experience it.

To prevent the suppression of testosterone, do not combine it with other steroids not to aggravate the situation, and be sure to use PCT after a cycle.

POPULAR YK-11 Q&A

WHAT EFFECTS DOES YK-11 PROVIDE?

This SARM is great for those looking to increase lean muscle mass or lose weight and gain a sharper physique. It starts working quickly, so you will notice results from the first weeks of your cycle, which will motivate you even more.

You will have superior gains even with the lowest YK-11 doses and short use, so those just starting out can still expect amazing results such as gaining up to 5 pounds of quality muscle and losing body fat over an entire four-week cycle by taking only 5 mg per day, and advanced users can gain up to 25 pounds of quality muscle mass by taking 10-15 mg for 8 weeks.

Follow a balanced diet, a rigorous exercise regimen and achieve the best results with this drug.

DO YOU NEED PCT AFTER YK-11?

After the YK-11 cycle, it is imperative to undergo PCT. It can cause some mild to moderate testosterone suppression, depending on your dose. Thus, use:

• Clomid (50 mg per day for the first two weeks and dropping to 25 mg per day during the last two weeks of PCT)
• or Nolvadex (40mg/day for 2 weeks, then 40mg/day for next 2 weeks)

You can also add Gonadotropin during your cycle and one and a half months after your cycle to maintain results and prevent testosterone suppression. (2 injections per week, 1250 IU/day for 4 weeks)

WHAT TO COMBINE WITH YK-11?

The YK-11 will provide outstanding results when used alone, but more advanced athletes will want to combine it.

It works best with RAD140, LGD-4033 and Andarine. In general, it works well with almost any SARM.
