If you donāt want to be decrepit as you age, focus your training on things you will lose with age. Training things you will keep anyway is a waste of time.
After the age of 40, you lose every year:
1% muscle size
2-4% muscle strength
8-10% muscle power
Not because of age but because of lack of training.
Get to the gym. Itās never too late.

PVāļø Itās a great day to exercise.
I see many workout gurus online selling complicated programs for improving pull-ups. Iāll save you $. Itās simple:
1. Do pull-ups
2. Repeat step 1
If you canāt do a pull-up youāre running into a strength issue. No amount of other exercises targeting muscle endurance will solve the problem. Doing pull-ups become one rep max attempts triggering strength adaptations. You will eventually do a pull-up.
If you can do pull-ups, attempt more. Now you will be triggering muscle endurance adaptations and will be able to do more in a row.
Either way, follow the simple above rule.

Iād like to see the effect it has on say bodybuilders who are cutting. My guess is there wouldnāt be as much lean tissue loss, but maybe thatās wrong.
Thatās a great question. From what people tell me the drug makes you nauseous even when smelling food and they have to sometimes choke it down. May not be the ideal tool a bodybuilder would want to use for precision nutritional intake but it would be interesting to see.

Itās obvious why. Most people have inadequate protein intakes and they donāt strength train. If they began training and eating 150 grams of protein then there wouldnāt be as much lean tissue los...
Very true. Doing that will work wonders for most of the population. Itās hard to get folks to even consume 0.6g of protein/lb of body weight let alone 1g which would be ideal.
Whatās strange about this stuff is that even with similar caloric/macronutrient intake and exercise regimen the weight loss tends to come from a greater loss in lean tissue after taking GLP-1 drugs compared to before at least anecdotally in clients. This part I donāt get.
If I could get people to choose the low time preference approach you point out rather than the easier but potentially dangerous way, Iād be happy but itās hard to overcome the immediacy mindset combined with the influence of money and power behind these drugs. These are so popular now in my area that doctors have a specific section of their websites devoted to GLP-1 prescriptions.

If youāre crashing in the afternoon after a hard workout in the morning, before changing anything about your nutrition or workout routine, take 5 minutes (even as little as 3 minutes) after the
workout and do some breath work to calm yourself down.
4 seconds in and 8 seconds out, box breathing, or any other method that calms you will work.

Any negative side effects that the drug has? I guess it will have some. I guess no druh will replace healthy balanced nutrition (meat, fish, veggies, fibers) and sufficient physical activity.
Only time will tell about the negative impacts of GLP-1 drugs but anecdotally Iām seeing and hearing of higher lean tissue loss to fat loss ratio when compared to non GLP-1 caloric restriction and I donāt know why. Itās especially alarming for older folks who may never get back that lean tissue.

Most of your personal ādemonsā donāt even exist.
Humans suffer more in illusion than in reality.
Even if something you fear never occurs you end up suffering as if it did because you dreaded itās possibility. And if the dreaded event occurs you end up suffering twice.
