Hey guys,
So long story short, I know there hasn't been any conclusive data to show that lifting weights speeds up hair loss, however, anecdotally, I believe that's what I might be experiencing.
I've recently (past 6 months) gotten pretty serious in the gym (4 times a week, heavy weight lifting) and have noticed two things... 1. My temples have lost some ground. and 2. I have increased facial hair (without a doubt). I can only guess this is due to the increase in testosterone and thereby increase in DHT.
I've been on Finasteride for 6 years now and held fairly strong (I responded very favorably in the first 3 years). However, do you think there would be any reasoning to take my finasteride right before I go to the gym?
Half life of finasteride is like 4-7 hours, and I know that after working out, testosterone levels are elevated for like an hour.
Just thought I'd see if anyone had thoughts on this.
