Finasteride & Weightlifting

[CanadianGuy]

I also enjoy lifting and am an average gym guy 3x's a week with decent weights and use a whey protein (Six Star WPI) after workouts to replenish the muscles and recovery time, but not looking to become jacked like Mr Universe lol.

I tried Proscar 5mg cut into four little 1.25's back in October and found testicular shrinkage after two weeks and a decreased libido/erection strength which freaked me out and I stopped. Is that normal for starting the drug or no? I figure stop before any other bad stuff happened down there and now I am fearful to even try Propecia as a result. This was also not when I was lifting as I started up again only 6 weeks ago and noticed faster hairloss once I started. Would love to hear your thoughts gents.
