Any heavy lifters out there??

[BillGoldberg]

Anyone lift heavy weights on a GLP-1?? I have been on Reta for 3 weeks. 4 mg a week. When I lift I feel completely wasted during and after the workout. I workout hard so after the workout is common for me. A couple days I felt like I was on the verge of going hypo during workouts. Started pushing a little heavier this week because I’ve been out with an injury. I don’t know if I’m just not eating enough or what. Today I got super lightheaded almost felt like I was going down. Don’t know if anyone supplements with anything preworkout or any tips from anyone that’s been doing this a little longer then I have. Thanks to anyone with input. Appreciate it.

Up your carbs

Natty other than Tirz 7.5 q week and sema 1mg q week. I can tell a huge difference lifting on glp1. I feel like it's mostly because the calorie deficit. Pre-workout and multi vitamins keeps me feeling pretty good at the gym. I find that GLP1s are not a "feel good" med, I'm constantly in a drained near nausea state.

I am still in the gym 5 days a week. On my bad days, I need to remind myself what a piece of shit I am so I can power through and be the better person I want to be.

Probably very correct! However I gave them up. I'm sticking to trash talking myself for motivation.

I lift regularly, but I would not call what I do 'heavy' (as I've gotten older I've had to change my focus to injury prevention.) When I started Tirz, I was initially surprised how much weaker I felt in the gym. I suspect it was due to lower glycogen stores. I subsequently made an effort to ensure I was hitting my daily protein target (1g/lb) and my strength came back. So you probably just need to eat more.

Thank you for the responses. I’m going to put these recommendations into practice and see if it gets better.

I wouldn't call it heavy, but I'm lifting 5 days a week, 8 exercises a day, 4 sets on 1-2 major compounds each day, 3 sets on isolations, going to 1-2 RIR for the first sets, then for everything I can fail safely, to failure and then lengthened partials until I can't even do those on the last set.

This was tough for me on tirz but fine for me on reta. My diet isn't dialed in macro wise on most days beyond a truckload of protein. Probably have more carbs than I should. On 8mg of reta split between two doses mon/thurs

Up my carbs ?? So my inner fat kid hears “doughnuts are back on the table”

some say slu-pp-332 gives a boost to workouts. I personally haven't experienced it.

I just posted about that a few days ago.

I had to stop lifting because I haven't been able to eat enough to sustain it. All I can really manage is some light cardio.

I do have some slupp on the way though, so I might try that out and see if I'm able to lift.

What is slupp?

 

[keangkong]

I wasn't lifting heavy even before I started on a GLP-1 medication. I do lift to prevent losing a huge amount of muscle while on a GLP-1 medication. However, progress has been very slow. When I've previously lifted after not lifting for a while, I always made rapid gains. Things are going quite slow right now. My endo advised that I up my protein to 1.6 grams per kilograms of body weight.

Me! I am female average lifting 3-4 days a week, I am not finding any strength less but then again I am also on ipamorelin 2X a day am/pm.
I am also on smaller maintenance doses of tirz and reta, my main focus now is muscle size and strength
Creative maybe??? I supplement this daily

I’m super creative . I knew what you meant though. Did you switch from a higher dose at first or like a bodybuilder using glp-1’s for maintenance??

slu-pp-332. i affectionately call it slupp.
i will say though, it has no human trials so i'm a bit scared to try it, lol.
