Another Working out/ T-level ? dam it

[Guest]

I know that its been said that working out ith heavy weights can cuase t levels to rise>increasing hairloss rate.
But what about good old calesthenic (push-ups, sit upss etc.)
Will these raise t-levels?

Everything that strengthens you in the long run will, probably.

It's still a "working out"-activity; the only difference being that you are using your own body as a weight.

I work out 5 days a week, and I continue to maintain a constant hair count.

is it heavy lifting like strenght training, or do you go for the light lifting/toning approach. Im thinkin of startin light liftin to tone, and running for my whole body and to lower dht levels through aerobic exaustion? What you think Cassin, you seem to be a good case for it.

Seems that everything that will make you look and feel good will cause hairloss.

what a load of tosh.

Just because testosterone levels rise, this does not necessarily mean that DHT levels rise as well.

DHT is made from testosterone by two enzymes. Even though testosterone may rise, your enzyme levels may stay the same, and DHT production may stay level as well.

Consider this... there are people who are losing their hair from male pattern baldness, and may have naturally low testosterone levels in their blood. How is this? Well, their bodies may have high levels of the DHT-creating enzymes, so that even a little testosterone is sufficient to incite hairloss for this particular person.

Then again, you may have a third person who has low testosterone, low DHT levels, but is losing his hair like crazy too. How could this happen? Well, maybe his hair's sensitivity to the effects of DHT is higher than ours.

Not everything in the hairloss process is perfectly correlated. There are lots of different pieces in motion, and it is fairly complex.

I don't fully understand your question, please rearticulate it.

At 6'1" and 180, I'm more akin to the male model build than the football player build. I lift heavy, but I've hit what I consider to be my genetic cap.

I also do a lot of cardio, 4 times a week. Gym asked me to teach a spinning class; while the poon would be nice, I find it too f*****g boring. Plus people would think I'm "teh h0m0z."

Im with Gardener on this....to many people think that if you workout ..jerk off(pfff) or whatever...youll automatically fuel your DHT..but i think this is all myth and we need to stick with what we know.

Am I the only one who thinks that there has been a lot of these myths touted as facts here lately? Is this site simply attracting new posters who are clueless, or what is going on?

Not at all.

It wouldn't be so bad if they were just clueless. Everyone has to learn from some point. The problem is that they are bringing in garbage and spreading it as though it is fact - that makes it very hard for any other newcomer to be able to distinguish fact from fiction.

Paranoia is a powerful thing.

Damn, it's like fighting off the fucken Taliban. No wanky wanky... and in a month or so they'll be trying to tell us no sexy sexy, and that women should wear burqas lest we lose our hair from the hormonal rage within.

Ill agree...these myths are getting out of control.....im glad we all agree that the golden shower doenst regrow hair..but jerking and gym in the same ballpark

 

[not me!]

Golden showers don't regrow hair?!?

Not to mention that we should grow our beards out to insane lengths to balance the weight of a healthy head of hair before our scalps starts attacking our follicles.

I heard that if you mix donkey pooh with dog-piss you should be able to make a nice paste excellent for treating male pattern baldness. Just rub it on the scalp 4x a day.

This is NO myth! It's a fact!!!! :hairy:

lThe War Against DHT, where the enemy is always in sight, but choses to effect some rahter than others....but why??? 50,000,000 dollar reward if Dirty Hairy Trouble (DHT) The leader of DHT is found, dead or alive

 

[Buffboy]

Actually I think that The Rock (not you, but the actor) has had a hair transplant. His hairline has receeded too much to be in that perfect condition.

All receders have uneven hairlines - not The Rock.

Anyone else noticed this?

blah. Don't work out. Get really really fat. That way it leaves me more of a chance to bang the hot chicks at your gym you go to.
