YK-11 in bodybuilding: what does the science actually show, and how much is hype? Dave Crosland and Scott McNally break down the myostatin inhibitor claims, injectable YK-11 concerns, its chemical structure, and questions about dosing, cycle length, and testosterone suppression on Drugs ’n’ Stuff.
Plus, injectable DHT (stanolone), Proviron, and listener questions on low blood pressure, estrogen and acne, Deca for joint pain, testosterone recovery after PCT, high prolactin, and trenbolone for performance versus muscle growth. And, as always, a few detours with Uncle Dave.
