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.
The Ask: Tearing apart the YK dose, the #1 support addition for fatigue, and the training intensity philosophy. What would you change?
