For GLP-1 users specifically, I prioritize movements that protect the muscle groups most vulnerable to atrophy during rapid weight loss: Lower body: Squats ( meaning any form of knee bend), deadlifts, lunges (glutes, quads, and hamstrings are the largest muscle groups and the biggest contributors to metabolic rate) Upper back and lats: Rows, pulldowns (postural muscles that deteriorate quickly without stimulus) Chest and shoulders: Presses, overhead work, flyes (functional pushing strength) Core: Planks, Pallof presses, loaded carries (spinal stability, injury prevention) Safety Note: If nausea is severe during early titration, reduce training volume (fewer sets per exercise) rather than eliminating sessions
The year of Ozempic bodies and Barbie Botox Corporate feminism will not save us
"Ozempic face" as a side effect of GLP-1 drugs You may have heard about "Ozempic face" as a side effect of GLP-1 drugs, though the term is misleading because this can be a side effect of any GLP-1 drug or any other cause of rapid weight loss
Future research employing multiomics technologies will be essential to unravel the mechanisms underlying these interactions and to guide the development of individualised therapeutic strategies for obesity and T2D [82]
I know Retatrutide is not officially approved yet, but for me, waiting was not an option
The collaboration will develop next-generation oral biologics for obesity and diabetes that are traditionally limited to injectable administration due to poor absorption in the gastrointestinal tract
