In the clinical trial titled “Resistance Exercise Training Increases Muscle Mass and Strength in Prostate Cancer Patients on Androgen Deprivation Therapy,” (you can Google that), the exercise regimen consisted of a progressive 3-set whole-body resistance exercise training program (60 min, twice a week).
> leg press
> leg extension
> chest press
> lateral pulldowns
> shoulder press
> horizontal row

All sets consisted of 10 repetitions with 1.5 and 3 min rest between sets and exercises, respectively.

For myself (being a gym rat), I developed my own exercise program to offset the side-effects of Eligard.

I mostly did sets of multi-joint exercises that utilize the body’s largest muscle groups: squat, deadlift, bench press, row, overhead press, and lat pulldown. If I needed a break from that routine, I instead did sets of leg, chest, tricep, back, bicep, and shoulder exercises.

In either case, I exercised for 1-1/2 hours each day (immediately after each radiation session). I also split the routines so as not to repeat muscle groups each day. On alternating days, I would add some cardio - either jog 3-4 miles or swim 35-45 minutes.

On the 7th day I rested…..
