Every so often a compound shows up in the sports/muscle/strength space that inspires fantasies of almost Dr. Jekyl – Mr. Hyde like transformations. YK-11 appears to be that new compound. It’s considered a SARM. A Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator because it appears to activate portions of the androgen receptor. But is it in fact an androgenic and anabolic steroid? It finds its origins in a form of nor-pregnenolone. It seems to have a DHT-like effect as well. But more fascinating is another pathway of action. It appears to build muscle by suppressing myostatin through the follistatin pathway. Perhaps finally delivering on the dreams of unbridled muscle gains. But what of the unwanted effects? Is it safe?

Show Transcript SHR # 2544 :: YK-11: SARM or Anabolic Steroid And How Does It Work

Show Notes:

[2:03] YK-11: Where did it start?

• Never got past the original company’s synthesis phase.

[5:48] Is it a SARM or an androgen?

• Both, in the same sense that deca and tren are also both.

[10:20] YK-11 and follistatin

• There is no effective, safe drug that has been put out to treat sarcopenia through myostatin inhibition.

[16:20] Why is YK-11 compared to DHT?

• All sarms are compared to DHT or test prop.

[20:58] Issues with YK-11.

• Cognitive issues.
• It is a synthetic progestin.

[27:10] “Supernatural man” is defined and the argument behindusing time-tested compounds.

• Myostatin inhibition is the current, apparent “unexplored frontier”.

[39:14] How does YK-11 affect the morphology of the heart?

• Clinical dosages does not appear to cause problems.
• Larger doses cannot be spoken for.
• ARB’s should be used before ACE inhibitors to mitigate high blood pressure.

[46:51] Does Victor feel that there is real YK-11 out there?

• There is a serious quality control issue in quality assurance.

[59:40] Where does YK-11 fit into the drug scene?

• It is under HGH, AAS< metabolic modulators, insulin, etc.

[1:08:08] The framework for choosing compounds that you use.
