I dont lift weights anymore cause of my ****ing hair loss.

Put it this way... steroids cause hair loss... weights increase natural test levels... so yeah... i'd say it does.

I think my years in the gym contributed to my hair loss.

I am working a lot. My weight trainer is bald. But he shaves his head. If I work out a lot will the increase in testosterone increase my risk of hair loss? Is there anything to offset that? Is it a myth? Thanks

I'm 32 years with a receding hairline but no loss in the crown thus far. I think Propecia is helping to keep what I have. Here's my question: I'm 5'10", about 220-230lbs and out of shape. I want to start exercising again but fear that the exercise will build testosterone and thus will accelerate my hairloss. Is this a

I am not a doctor but I do believe that the temporary spike in testosterone levels would not have any significant effect on hair loss, quite similarly to having sex / masturbation. I guess there is always a risk but I personally have done plenty of heavy lifiting over the years (I'm 6ft and about 200lbs with a body fat of about 17%).

No probs guys...

Like I say, this is just my opinion but as long as you stay "natural", avoid the roids and adopt a sensible, balanced exercise program, you'll be fine. A good workout does wonders so don't deny yourself that!
