    Nice to see you tolerating it well. I have a few friends that had to stop after a few months for GI issues. Not zepbound in particular, but glp-1 agonists in general.

    The whole reason we call them illegal aliens is because they’re subject to our laws.

      It seems to have the lowest profile of side effects.

        I don't have a problem with cardio at home, but I enjoy getting out and going to the gym. Down 60 lbs over the past 10 months.

            You are my people! I have from 5- 55lbs, some in the garage and some in the living room where people always have gym equipment.

              One thing I would enjoy about having my own weight rack like that is I could actually keep the weights in the spots they belong in. Crazy how randomly placed they get in the gym.

                @jon-nyc yeah. People who don’t put things back where they belong aggravate me. Gyms, design rooms, whatever.

                  @mik I bought a set of these, they let you select between 15 and 55 pounds and are relatively easy to use and comfortable: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DM658S67

                  That being said, I do have a pair of 25-pounders that I use for curls and other raises. Those are my workhorses, but the flexibility of the above set-up is nice. I also bought a basic bench that I use them on.

                      I had a pair of those. Still trying to find the perfect place to keep them so that they get used. My desk drawer doesn’t seem to be the answer.

                        @89th that is what my brother suggested. It's a great space saver.
