    Default Lifting weights accelerates MPB?

    Will lifting weights accelerate hair loss if you're predisposed to MPB since it increases testosterone? (which then converts to DHT?) My mom's dad, grandfather, and brother are all NW7s...lucky me. I have my dad's hair type though and he has a full head of hair @55. It's nothing like my mom's side, they all have really thin hair and mine's like the complete opposite but I'm not sure if that means anything. My temples are a lot thinner than the rest of my head, but they've been like this for as long as I can remember.

    Now I'm extremely paranoid about going bald before 30 since I found out it comes from the mother's side. I want to move on w/ life, but I can't stop thinking about it. It's in my thoughts 24/7... I'm 19 and I want to start lifting weights but now I'm worried that if I have DO have the MPB gene, lifting will cause it to start sooner than if I never started...
