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).
 
Day 3:

Weight: No Change

Anecdotal Observation: Ravenous hunger - whether this is specifically attributed to the YK, or something unrelated, is difficult to isolate.

However, YK-11 is the only thing I have introduced and the hunger is painful at times (I can't sleep because my stomach is rumbling kind of painful).

This does not bode well for a cutting compound.
 
Just as an addendum to my previous post, I made no mention of my training style.

I have a rather unconventional training approach that is probably a-typical of what most people do:

I train 6 days a week doing a full body circuit each day. The structure of every workout is the same, with the only variation being the weights used.


10 minute window: 3x20 Squats (Weights range from 185-255lbs)

7 minute window: 5x12 Bent over row, super set with trap shrugs x 25 (225lbs)

10 minute window: 30x5 Bench Press (185lbs), super set with side laterals x 10 (25lbs)

20 minute window: 5 exercise circuit that involves the cable cross over machine - it is difficult to describe, but I train lats, chest and triceps all at once.

10 minute window: As many body weight chinups/pullups as I can do, super set with as many body weight dips that I can do.

5 minutes: Machine crunches/cool down.

Years of powerlifting obliterated my joints (I have had multiple surgeries), so I have had to adjust to find something that is both challenging, but minimizes joint impact.
 
Notice an increase in BP or heart rate with the YK? That seems like a common side effect.
 
No change in blood pressure or heart rate that I have noticed (but I haven't measured).

I will keep my eye on it though.

These hunger pangs are killing me though - it reminds me of how I used to feel after pinning GHRP-6. I could literally eat a dozen donuts in a single shot right now.
 
I never heard of hunger as a side effect and didn't expierence it when I used yk. Hopefully your yk wasn't spiked with mk677 as that's the only oral that will drastically cause hunger.
 
I have to agree with Thebigone here, this sounds like MK677 more then YK11. Keep us posted, thanks for sharing!

I haven't tried this compound yet. From what I understand, it's a full blown steroid. Possibly a nandrolone derivative, not entirely sure from the research. Might help explain the hunger possibly? Did nandrolone (deca, npp) ever make you hungry?

NPP (My favorite compound) never made me hungry. The only side effect I ever got from it was puffy nipples haha.

The hunger has remained with YK-11 on Day 3. Nothing material to report beyond increased vascularity - while it is still way too early in the cycle to attribute it specifically to YK, I have never been this vascular before at rest.

I would hope that I wasn't slipped MK - Syntharize has never lead me wrong in the past, but you never know.

If push comes to shove, I actually have access to a mass spectrometer in the university lab (one of the few perks of being a research scientist). Testing can be arranged to verify contents.

You will know if it's mk bc you will start holding a lot of water.
 
A couple of quick comments (Today marks the end of Day 5 - there was an error in my last post).

Weight is up 1lbs - this is entirely within the normal fluctuation of my body weight, so I am not attributing it to anything in specific.

Hunger has abated somewhat, as I started taking ephedrine (which has always crushed my appetite). Still ravenously hungry, but at least it is now manageable.

No water retention or increased blood pressure/heart rate to speak of.

What I will attribute to the YK is a pronounced increase in vascularity and in gym "pumps".

I have changed nothing in my diet or supplementation regimen, but there is a material increase in the number/visibility of veins in my shoulders and arms.

While I was in the gym today, my muscles felt "inflated" for a lack of a better term. It is very analogous to the way Superdrol used to make me feel - one or two sets is enough to get a really great pump.

Tentatively I will say that I am cautiously optimistic. No real change in weight or strength, but at least there is something positive to report (that I will specifically attribute to the YK).
 
Mk makes me lethargic and gives me the shits as well. Ghrelin acts on bowel movements as well. I also get pretty bloated on it. You don't seem to be getting any of these sides other then the hunger. Are you certain about your dose? Those scoopers go by volume not weight and 10mg of one compound doesn't take up the same volume as another. I would measure the dose with a small scale.

This sounds typical of yk11, at least from several logs I have read. Hunger, little weight gain, even with increased calories, recomp effect. Joint pain is also commonly reported.

It's funny you mention that about the scooper spoons (volume and density).

I have something that looks like a key ring with various sizes of spoons, and corresponding weight standardized to talc powder (eg. 10ml = 10mg talc).

I just look for the spoon that is closest to 10mg, and ballpark my dosage of YK (recognizing that yk powder is much coarser/salt like relative to talc).

Realistically, I could be +/- 3mg on each dose, so your recommendation of using a micro scale is a good one.
 
**broken link removed**

Well, at least I know it's the real stuff.

Haven't trained as yet for today, will update later (if there is anything of interest to report).
 
Ok, so I'm closing in on a full week of use (tomorrow will be day 7), and here are my observations to date.

My performance in the gym is unchanged - if anything, I am slightly more lethargic than normal.

However, there is a discernable visual difference in my physique - primarily muscle fullness and vascularity. I had a high carb meal last night (all you can eat sushi with friends), and I woke up looking the best I have looked in a while.

Normally after a high carb/sodium meal, I spill over and retain a shit load of water. I was extremely pleased to see that I was actually tighter this morning than I was pre-cheat meal.

Weight remains +1lbs relative to my starting point - this isn't necessarily a bad thing, because I have been actively cutting with a pretty significant caloric deficit (minus last night).

So in summary:

-No change in strength/endurance
-Fantastic pumps and fullness. Very dry compound (my superdrol comparison from earlier is most apt)
-Body weight is stable despite caloric deficit.

Random note: My skin is super oily, but it could be any number of things (it has been very hot and humid lately). No acne to speak of, but my nose and forehead are getting that mid day shine.
 
A couple of things to report.

As of today, I started adding in an extra 400 calories per day to see if I can eek out some growth (or minimize muscle loss) during this cut.

I was so pleasantly surprised by how my body responded to my cheat day, I am starting to think that YK-11 might be more effective if I up my protein and carbs a bit.

Pumps and fullness continue to be great, but I noticed my first (potential) negative side effect.

At the risk of being too graphic, erection strength and orgasm intensity were severely diminished. I met up with a lady friend, and suffice to say, we were both left disappointed.

While there is not enough evidence to blame YK-11 for this, it is the only thing I have changed recently. I have never had any issues with impotence in the past (beyond a brief period when I was on SSRI's in university), but who knows, I'm also getting older. Even deca and letro had no effect on my sex drive.

Looks like I will have to be ordering some RC Cialis if this problem persists.

Apologize for divulging such personal details, but I think others would be interested in knowing that this may be a potential side effect.
 
Update.

Weight: Up 1.5lbs from start - not necessarily YK specific, but I am definitely "leaner" (or at the very least, holding less water) than before.

Stength/Endurance: Unchanged

Side Effects (Negative):

-Oily skin
-Diminished interest in sex (definitely from YK) and impaired sexual performance (possibly from YK)

Side Effects (Positive)

-Increased aggression. This may not be the best word to characterize how I feel, but I am "itching" to go to the gym.

After 15 years of lifting, I am at a point where I have to psyche myself up to train - particularly after coming home from work. Since I have started the YK, I look forward to training - which is strange, considering my gym performance is unchanged. This may be entirely a psychosomatic - but I'm not complaining.

-Vascularity and pumps (noted earlier)

-It appears to be a "carb hungry" drug - the more carbs you eat, the better you look (to an extent). I am very sensitive to water retention, and I normally have to keep carbs under 200g to avoid edema. However, with YK, I have upped my carb intake to 300g+
 
Update:

Strength in the gym is starting to creep up a smidgen - this one is always difficult to evaluate given my circuit training (the weights lifted are equally a function of my cardiovascular fitness as they are muscular strength), but 20 rep squats with 240lbs felt really, really good.

High rep squats are always reveal how I'm feeling - some days, I struggle with 185lbs, and on others, I can make it all the way up to 255lbs.

With 240lbs, I still had something left in the tank. Based on how I felt, I would say that 275lbs could have been possible. Don't get me wrong, it was very taxing... just slightly less so than normal.

No change in weight when compared to last post. Oily skin and diminished sex drive continue to pose issues, but not sufficient for me to stop the cycle.
