YK-11 is a steroidal SARM, widely used for bulking cycles. Myostine allows bodybuilders to increase lean muscle mass, improve strength on all major lifts and overcome plateaus.
While YK-11 can promote fat loss, it isn’t the compound’s main purpose.
YK-11 Key Parameters
- Concentration: 10 mg
- Quantity: 50 tablets
- Application: Lean muscle mass, body recomposition, strength
- Recommended dosage: 5-30 mg per day
- Cycle length: 6-12 weeks
- Stack suggestions: MK-677, SR-9009, RAD-140, GW-501516
- PCT: recommended
YK-11 by NEO SARMs — Description
Myostine is a potent Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator and myostatin inhibitor. The latter means that the compound can impact the specific proteins, myostatins, that can stumble a bodybuilder’s muscle growth.
Basically, YK-11 prevents myostatin build up by increasing follistatin levels. Follistatin suppresses myostatin activity, allowing bodybuilders to increase muscle mass.
YK-11 Effects
Myostine provides several positive effects on muscle growth and overall body’s function:
- Increasing lean muscle growth;
- Improving strength and endurance;
- Providing cosmetic effects, such as muscle fullness.
Bodybuilders can gain 10-15 lbs more on a 6-weeks bulking cycle with strength gains on major lifts around 50 lbs. For example, some have reported 20-25 lbs muscle gains. This effect strongly depends on the dosage and cycle length.
On a myostine cycle, the pumps become fuller, muscles get the “well-rounded” look with little hardening effects.
It is not recommended to use YK-11 on a cutting cycle solo. However, the compound can be used in cutting and recomposition stacks to retain or gain lean muscle mass:
- Cutting cycles: MK-2866, GW-501516, SR-9009;
- Recomposition cycles: RAD-140, SR-9009, MK-2866, MK-677;
- Bulking cycles: LGD-4033, RAD-140, MK-677.
Some of the stacks might be more suitable for advanced users, as LGD-4033 and RAD-140 are very potent SARMs. Combining them with YK-11 can lead to greater HPTA suppression.
YK-11 Side Effects
Two main side effects of YK-11 are testosterone production suppression and joint pain. HPTA suppression can be corrected with a post-cycle therapy. If the symptoms (such as depression, mood swings or libido loss) manifest in the first weeks of the cycle, there is a need to lower the dosage.
Joint pain is a common side effect, since the compound is designed for muscle building. Muscles simply develop faster than joints or tendons, so the pressure on them increases temporarily.
Less frequent side effects, often associated with high dosages and prolonged cycle length, are:
- Hepatotoxicity;
- Hair thinning;
- Acne;
- Gynecomastia.
