Subscribing to this thread. Powerlifting on GLP-1 is exactly what I've been researching. 🙏

OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on Powerlifting on GLP-1 .

To answer KevinCompounds: I started tracking everything in a spreadsheet from day 1.

Quick update: I will post a proper update thread soon. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion — this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. 🙏

+1 to JakeBK_lifts. Especially the point about "Thank you all for the thoughtful replies..." — I have seen the same in my own experience with Powerlifting on GLP-1 .

Slightly tangential to Powerlifting on GLP-1 but sarah_nash92 reminded me — has anyone else noticed changes in their alcohol tolerance?

I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.
