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

Whilst gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea are the most commonly reported adverse effects according to the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC), some patients report musculoskeletal symptoms, including body aches, although these are not listed among the common side effects in the UK product information
