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 combination is in fact better with leucine as it improves the composite score of mTOR protein level which reflects muscle mass and strength
The brightly coloured pigments in these foods have antioxidant properties which support liver and gut function as well as repair any cell damage
Be patient with yourself as you navigate this new process
