Hey guys,

ive been postponing taking finasteride till I've completely gotten rid of my excess chest and stomach fat. I don't think I have gynecomastia but want to be in a position to be less likely to get it when I start finasteride.

I'm also at the point of no return. If I want to save my hair I need to start ASAP! Would you guys hold off another month and buckle down and get in shape? Or would you just go ahead and start the big 3 pronto and not worry about the chest fat?

You might not even get gyno, unsure if losing weight will even give you better chances of getting gyno from finasteride. I would just take the plunge now and continue to work out while on finasteride.

fine undoubtedly gave me gyno (only because i was stupid enough to keep taking it when i felt irritation) but what i did notice was that at a dosage like .25mg a day it didnt effect my nipples one bit.. its only when i moved up to .5ED that the lumps have formed... i say u buckle down and lose weigth this month while dosing at .25 because once u start finasteride its a little bit harder to lose weight.

I believe .25 is the lowest dose you could go while still being effective so I would follow joeys idea.

I've quit alcohol since earlier this month. I'm going to stay quit for at least a month, continue to work out and get in shape, and then start taking it. Besides I want a good before photo of my hair grown out. Right now it's shaved. I will start my regimen hopefully sometime in May. Thanks guys.

I would think that some people are just prone to gyno. I used to do powerlifting. I've done test e / dbol cycles with my bf% too high and never got any symptoms of gyno.

i would start and get in shape after starting? Why do you need to get in shape before you start. Just start and get in shape anyway...

Because people say it's harder to get in shape while taking finasteride. Zzzzz did you get your hormones checked before or after using dutasteride? Would you recommend doing that?

Gaining muscle isn't a problem when I'm on finasteride.. losing fat though is tougher but def doable

I don't have that issue. Gaining muscle and losing fat is hard. The disciple it takes to eat and train is like controlling your sex activities. After a hamburger and 4 beers you'll say why did I do that, its just like casual sex with your friend.

I'd take the pill.

That's great that you quit, but keep it close by. You are going to need something just in case things don't work out. I don't drink, but keep a few bottles on stand bye just in case.

yes my DHT before was 22 in a range of 18-72 and now is too low to be registered (below five, premuably between 2-3 units)

don't listen to them you can still get in shape on this stuff

Cool. I ordered a hormone test, and will see where I'm at. Pretty sure I'm going to start again soon. Hoping its not too late.
