Testosterone while on finasteride?

[sportsfan12]

I work out often but when I heard that higher test could lead to accelerated hair loss I dropped the weights a little and don't do squats/legs anymore. While on finasteride, do you want to try and raise your test due to the blocked dht? Or more beneficial if it's low? Or moot point

wtf does that have to do with anything? You think lifting lighter weights and not training legs will lower your test? That's not how it works and a dumb thing to do. Go back to training as normal and as you should be...

I came in this thread expecting a steroid question. You can't change your test levels through any dumb workout behaviors or like any other way other than extreme unhealthy diets besides steroids so stop worrying about it

Have to admit, this is hilarious all round. Firstly, weight lifting only causes a small transient rise in test, so yeah perhaps more will be converted to DHT, but no link has been established that it will increase hair loss in those who are susceptible to it. Taking steroids and having a sky high test WILL increase hair loss but I know you're not asking that.

finasteride will help. Don't alter work out.

Real talk : does anyone know if taking creatine supplements is bad for people susceptible to male pattern baldness ? I'm yet to get a definitive answer, I bought some caps to help me gain some weight but scared it might damage my hair further ?

I do honestly believe there is some correlation with male pattern baldness and weight-lifting.
Though someone who is a NW1 is not going to suddenly start loosing hair after doing some weight lifting, it's a joke.
I do believe if you are suffering from male pattern baldness it can cause it to be more aggressive.

Though if you're on finasteride, I couldn't imagine it makes a lick of difference....
Dude people while on finasteride take zinc tablets to boost their testosterone, in a hope that they don't get gyno, less side efects or see less gains while working out. Testosterone does not cause hair loss, it is the by-product DHT.

yes there is evidence creatine does significantly raise DHT levels, but you are on dutasteride, so like someone taking test injections dutasteride will cover this effect and you shouldn't worry about it really

I'm not saying working out causes hair loss but I am saying if I'm deadlift/squatting as much as I can there MAY be a boost in test which COULD accelerate hair loss of somebody if already experiencing male pattern baldness.

Is taking zinc while on finasteride a good idea?

Workout WON'T do anything for your baldness.You could look more toned in appearance but in no way would it affect your hair.As for test supplement on finasteride i would say its KINDA safe.I myself take protein shakes after my running and i am taking finasteride too.Have been on finasteride for about 3 weeks for now but if i do get anything strange then i will update you

These aren't laughable questions IMO - in fact I was wondering the same thing with regards to working out and creatine.

I've researched the topic extensively and there doesn't seem to be much correlation. I'm looking into a test steroid cycle for the new year and still trying to find conclusive evidence that test causes that as well.

All Depends how sensitive your hair follicles are to androgens

Finasteride will prevent the conversion of 70-75% if 'm not mistaken so either way your testosterone levels will be extremely elevated either way. if your still shedding, and thinning while being natural, then chances are steroids will only accelerate the inevitable. Best bet is to find a topical androgen such as RU58841 in conjunction with finasteride while on cycle to topically, and systemically inhibit DHT. everyone is different, and their is to many variables involved. It's trial, and error.


Once your blood levels are stable I find I experience nothing in terms of sides. When I start dropping orals, increasing doses, and in return fluctuating hormone levels is when I experience side effects such as acne break out, scalp inflammation, and mild thinning along temple points. it wasn't untill I added RU58841 m/with Ru solution did my temple points return back to normal colouration and density. I did notice the thinning, and was a bit freaked out, but I got it under control.

Short esters I found were the worst despite what people say being IN, and OUT the quickest.

Test E
Equipoise Boldenone Undecylate
Anavar

Are relatively safe.

Avoid any strong androgenic compounds;
Masteron
Tren
Winstrol
Anadrol
Dianabol (Scalp itched a lot, inflammation)
