Finasteride and Weight Lifting

[-cj-]

With my current thoughts about getting on finasteride, I realized that I may have another problem.

Has anyone had any adverse effects on their weight lifting while on finasteride? Less muscle build, etc?

Thanks in advance.

Ive been on finasteride for a little over 3 months, been lifting weights for a couple of years. Even though I havent been on finasteride very long, from my opinion it hasnt affected my weight training at all. Im still seeing steady gains in muscle mass and strength, so I dont think you should worry about it too much.

I lift weights about 5 days a week for the past 7 years. I've been on finasteride for the past year and a half, and I haven't noticed decline in weight. . . maybe a little bit less energy. . but I don't think that is related to the finasteride.

Thanks so much for your replies. This is good to hear. What about abnormal weight gain or fat % increase?
