Should I Stop Weight Lifting???? ? :(

[Feelsbadman]

It appears that lifting weights causes an increase in testosterone in my body.

Every time i lift weights and eat big i notice my libido increases, i'm more aggressive, greater body hair growth etc

Unfortunately i also notice that my hair seems to shed more.
When i stop going to the gym i notice a decrease in shedding.

Should i stop lifting weights?

I have heard this theory, and I seem to notice more shedding when lifting at the gym but I'm really not sure. Lol I definitely don't get more aggressive though.

Most people on here seem to think its BS, @shookwun will profess this, as well @David_MPN & @Assemblage23

I started Balding when I was spending 3 hours a day in the gym 3-4 days a week. It continued after I stopped going though, and it didn't happen when I was younger and in the gym every day. I don't think there's a correlation. T isn't the problem, it's DHT you need to worry about.

More T - less Dht.
What's your regimen?

What matters is alpha 5 reductase 2, not T levels. Especially if you're on finasteride then high T is ideal.

Doesnt matter.

 

[dunno]

Nope.

Give up weights for hair? f*** that.

 

[g.i joey]

I thought the same thing. but now it's 2 months I haven't lifted and my hair is worse than ever AND I'm on finasteride.... smh

might aswell get on nofap instead, if you believe weightlifting is gonna make you bald.

Well weight lifting increases test which converts to DHT = hair loss

i might have to quit

It increases testosterone during the lifting then stabilizes after, not enough to have a lasting effect on hair unless you're on gear.

Don't commit to a life of pseudoscience.

If high T caused hair loss then more people would go bald in their teens and twenties. Stay in the gym and keep your insulin sensitivity up, and your glucose levels down.

I haven't been to the gym in a week
why am i not shedding hair as much as before

its because of DHT

please explain to me how there is such a big difference

when going to the gym regularly - run my hand through my hair - lots of hairs come out


when i don't - hardly any hairs come out



why??????????

 

[Feelsbadman]

Placebo effect.

It can't be

i'm literally sitting here right now at my desk running my hands through my hair
usually lots of hairs fall out but now only 1-2

i haven;t been to the gym in a week?
