@brianjarvis Hi Brian,
No - he never mentioned it but he knows I work out 5-6 per week and just told me “keep doing what you’re doing.” Hopefully I keep the energy when they start zapping me! I’ve done strength training (not body building) all my life so hopefully that plays in my favor. Prayers and blessings for journey, sir!

@gpc100866 There has been much reported on the physical benefits of exercise while on ADT. Here are just a few that I’ve bookmarked:
> Drs. Sholz and Moyad talking about exercise and hormone therapy: https://m.youtube.com/watch
> A paper on The Benefits of Exercise During Hormone Therapy: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54c68ac6e4b06d2e36a4b8c9/t/55cb7275e4b0d97ae7ff60af/1439396469154/The+Benefits+of+Exercise+During+Hormone+Therapy_Insights+August+2015_PCRI.pdf
> A study about the benefits of exercise to counteract the adverse effects of ADT: (They describe a good resistance-training exercise program): https://journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/fulltext/2023/04000/resistance_exercise_training_increases_muscle_mass.2.aspx
If you do what it takes, you’ll do very well with the hormone therapy - it’ll just be an annoyance.
