Hi
I'm new here, but the gym question really interests me. I was on Lupron for 3 years (Gleason 9, PSA 28, radiation + ADT, I'm 63 years old). Now my PSA is creeping up again, so I may have to go back on Lupron. During Lupron I did light exercise, but no weighlifting. Before cancer I could do 30 pushups. After 3 years of Lupron I could do 6. I also gained 30 pounds around the middle.
But, my last Lupron was in April of '23 and I'm lifting weights like mad 3x a week and I can now do 22 pushups. I plan to try to lift weights 3x per week for the rest of my life (it helps me mentally, too).
