exercising & dumbbell weights with osteoporosis

There's a lot to unpack in your comments.
I had to read several times.
Was the score -4.1 after Evenity treatment.
You were squatting with goblet with 50 lbs - in each hand -
which totals 100 lbs. ! Amazing
It's good news that you haven't fractured before or since
treatment, Hurrah.
If you are lucky to be close to an Onero facility -
that would be super.
If that is not available, I would seek out a very qualified and
experienced PT to help chart a plan -
to safely reach your peak in weight bearing goals.
The 85% load may not be for everyone - same as 10,000
steps a day is not for everyone.
We can still have great results without these magic
numbers.
Let us know of your progress - being that proactive
is an inspiration to all of us.

@bevlevvancouverbc Hi there, here's some follow ups.
The -4.1 as a worst I got in my lumbar spine was just before Evenity. After Evenity my worst vertebra was -2.2. I was elated!
The goblet squat is a two-handed hold on a single weight so that was only one 50lb dumbbell. I later added doing regular dumbbell squats and since Evenity I'm up to 50lbs in each hand with that style.
I don't know what my maximum is but I'm too cautious to try to find out.
The goblet squat helps with form but it takes a lot of arm shoulder chest effort to hold the weight like that. You get more weight going against your thighs, buttocks and spine by doing regular dumbbell squats.
I don't live near anyone doing Onero but I've been following Belinda Beck and her work for several years now and I'm pretty competent in what i'm doing. The one LIFTMOR / Onero exercise I don't feel sure about I just don't do. That's the jumping pullup and drop exercise.
I have had two PTs and one sport chiropractor observe my form doing these exercises. I'm pretty much good with all this. Of course there is always more to learn.
