Tirzepatide: The first-in-class weight loss drug -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is a GLP-1 agonist. In simple terms that means that it inhibits the release of glucagon from the pancreas so that blood sugar does not rise in the user. By keeping blood sugar levels in range (not to high, not to low) users of semaglutide can keep their insulin levels in check, curtail hunger, lower their Hb1ac scores and generally keep their diabetes in check. This has a host of benefits beyond just diabetes, though. By keeping insulin levels from going too high or too low, tirzepatide reduces hunger, curbs binge eating and other behaviors that can lead to excess weight gain. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- @supraoracles For more information about the sponsors of this post, check out: supra.com/blockworks/

210kg axle bar deadlift. It's a much thicker bar than a standard weightlifting bar so you have to really emphasize your grip when using it. As a result it's significantly more difficult than a typical deadlift. Pretty happy with 210kg for one. This is after nearly 3-6 months of less-than-ideal training. It's easy to feel down about how much better my training has been in the past, but I'm still happy with this. Also, great to have friends cheering me on.
