Does Finasteride decrease muscle mass?

[onelifeonewar]

1 month into finasteride 1mg and everything is good so far. My workout regimen is very intense, as I train 5-6 days a week and compete in men's physique. I was kind of worried since it would be detrimental to me to have that happen. I've read that finasteride has no affect on muscles mass and I've read that it has some sort of affect? I'm beginning to think it is all a mental thing between people who worry too much about it?

I just need a solid answer for this. Thanks guys.

It reduced my muscle mass but I got great titties as a trade-off. Only you can decide if that's worth it.

Been on it for nearly 2 months. I keep going up in weights.

No but my muscle hardness has gone done slightly, probably due slightly elevated estrogen. Nothing to worry about though, some cardio and decreasing my macros will reduce the problem. I don't think that our levels of DHT has a huge effect on muscle building. Ask any bodybuilder who uses proviron or halotestin if they put on any muscle mass from it, they'll say haven't.

Dont think so,just the hardness

While I was on propecia I didn't lose any muscle

Good question, I lift 5-6 times a week and may end up on finasteride shortly

Nope

Did not make any difference to my buddy's gains, but he did have some sexual side effects...

finasteride inhibits the production of the enzyme responsible for reducing test into DHT. So, if anything, you would have more free-floating test in your body than you did without finasteride. Also, DHT is androgenic and not anabolic: it has no effect on muscle development.
