How to strength train on a GLP-1
Resistance training 2–3 times per week is the load-bearing intervention for keeping muscle on Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound. Here's the minimum effective routine, the research behind it, and how to progress without heavier weights.
GLP-1 muscle preservationHow much protein do I need on a GLP-1?
Most adults on Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro need around 1.0 gram of protein per pound of body weight to preserve muscle. Here's the research, the per-meal math, and how to actually hit it when appetite is suppressed.
