Easier to recover from on GLP-1 drugs: Moderate-intensity resistance training with controlled tempo (3-second eccentric) Lower total volume sessions (8 to 12 working sets) Walking and low-intensity steady-state cardio Mobility and flexibility work Harder to recover from on GLP-1 drugs: High-volume bodybuilding-style sessions (20+ sets) High-intensity interval training (HIIT) Heavy eccentric-focused training (slow negatives, drop sets) Two-a-day training sessions Endurance workouts over 60 minutes at moderate-to-high intensity The common thread: anything that creates significant muscle damage or glycogen depletion will take longer to recover from when calories are restricted
