Hi all. I’m starting this journey and glad I found this community. I’m very interested in this topic. I’ve been on ADT (Orgovyx) for about 3 weeks now getting ready to start radiation treatment in a couple weeks. So far no side effects but I know it’s pretty early.

I’ve read and been told by my RO about the necessity of resistance training to mitigate the effects of ADT so I’ve been lifting weights pretty religiously for the past month or so. Before starting the Orgovyx I took a body composition scan so I can tell how much muscle gain/loss I will experience over the next year or so. My goal is to maintain muscle mass, if not increase. I’ll try to provide updates here.

I plan to lift 4 days a week with some cardio a couple times a week. I put a weighted vest on my Christmas list so I can do some cardio and strength training at the same time between lifting sessions!
