I'm a fan of open bodybuilding, so I've been following the Ozempic usage trend for a while now. Given the findings on this study, I can see how it may become an essential drug on bodybuilders stacks.

Hunger reduction + supraphysiological muscle gain from steroids and growth hormone - (heart) muscle reduction = win/win?

Heart problems are one (of many) of the main problems these guys face, so I won't be surprised if Ozempic is used to kind of "balance" the effects of other drugs.

Another potential synergy for bodybuilding is that these GLP1 drugs ought to help maintain insulin sensitivity in the face of supraphysiological doses of HGH. Specifically I have the impression that tirzepatide and retrarutide are more effective here than semaglutide, as they possess additional mechanisms of aiding glucose disposal.
