Cardarine: 20mg daily (AM, SUBQ) [In transit]. 6. DMAA Pre: Used sparingly. Supplements: · Liver: TUDCA 500mg + NAC 600mg daily. · Electrolytes: Comprehensive protocol. · General: Fish Oil, Vitamin D, etc. · Sleep (Adding Soon): DSIP (150mcg nightly), Epitalon (10mg/day pulse). Diet: ~500 cal deficit, 220g+ protein, 65g fats. --- My Three Key Questions: 1. Is my YK-11 dosing and schedule optimal? * Dose: 15mg IM twice weekly (30mg/week total). * Rationale: Balancing myostatin inhibition for muscle retention against sides. Also that’s what a jailbroken AI told me to take 2. What critical support compounds am I missing? Fighting significant fatigue. * Deep systemic fatigue is the main battle. DMAA helps in-gym only. * Considering: SS-31 or MOTS-c for mitochondrial energy. Cost is high though and can’t afford 3. How should I structure training intensity? (Most urgent question) * AI/fitness consensus often recommends RPE 7-8 on a cut to manage fatigue. * However, my stack (YK-11 for myostatin inhibition, MK-677 for recovery) provides anti-catabolic protection. * My Hypothesis: I should train higher intensity (RPE 9-9.5) on primary compound lifts to provide the maximal "keep this muscle" stimulus, while drastically reducing back-off volume to manage systemic fatigue. Then keep accessories in the 7-8 range. * Is this right? Or is sticking to the conservative 7-8 RPE across the board smarter, letting the compounds do the preservation work? Context: The goal is maximum muscle retention. The fatigue is real, but I can push through focused, high-intensity sessions. I need to know if pushing the RPE is a strategic advantage or a recoverable fucking mistake.
