Good Afternoon everyone,
Long time lurker, relatively new poster (beyond some sporadic ones over the years).
So, I decided to do a log on the "Sarm" Yk-11 - I have managed to obtain a gram of the raw powder from the research chemical company "Syntharize" using my university research account.
Unlike other companies, Syntharize will only sell products to registered research institutions (the application for site registration is actually quite rigorous), so I am confident that what I have received legitimate product.
Given that there is a relative paucity of unbiased logs, I thought I would start one. I have no affiliation with any company, nor am I seeking one.
Vitals:
Age: 31
Height: 5'11
Weight: 232lbs
Body fat%: Let's say 12% (No official measurement performed, but I have great separation and abdominal definition, but a strip of fat in the lower back and right above the groin)
Cycle History: Too many to count
I have used pretty much everything I could get my grubby little hands on over the years. At my peak, I weighed 293lbs (not a good look) and have taken as much as a gram of test per week.
What am I running now?:
LGD 4033 - 10mg
S4 Andarine - 50mg
YK-11: 10mg
Why I switched to SARMS?
To be honest, as I hit 30, it was becoming increasingly difficult to maintain my bodyweight, and I was tired of feeling like a pin cushion. I had heard good things about SARMS, so I decided to make the switch as I "downsized".
So far, I have been pleasantly surprised. Have I lost muscle and strength relative to gear? Of course! BUT, I feel significantly better, (arguably) look better, and have an overall better quality of life.
Why YK-11?
I had heard it mentioned on a couple of forums, but searches didn't really yield anything too revealing. I noticed that Syntharize (who our university leverages for other research related items) started carrying it, so I made a request (it came up to about $170CAD for 1g of powder).
Goals this cycle?
Nothing specific, just continue to get leaner and harder. Ideally, I would like to stay at my current weight, but a recomp may be a tad ambitious.
Calories range from as low as 2200, to a max of 3000 depending on what I am training.
Day 1: Package arrived. Professionally packaged with complete material safety sheet and purity test.
I have 10mg scooper spoons, and I dosed it by dropping it under the tongue. Doesn't really taste like anything.
Day 2: Took it first thing this morning, in conjunction with the S4 and LGD. No effects (I was abnormally hungry, but that can be attributed to any number of things).
Weight: Unchanged
----------------------------------------------
I will try and update the log every other day or so. I know some may be concerned about how I can specifically isolate the effects of YK-11, particularly since I am using LGD and S4 simultaneously. However, I have been on the latter two compounds for months, so any change relative to my existing state will largely be explained by the YK-11 (or dietary/training changes, which I don't really anticipate).
