This is going to sound weird, but since I have been on finasteride and started working out again, I have seen some pretty good gains of muscle. I thought I would of seen the opposite. I started around 175 pounds, I have gained 10pounds and become quite abit leaner. To all those people who are worried about losing gains in the gym, I would not worry about it. I doubt finasteride has anything to do with it, it is probably my dedication and my diet.
Bodybuilding with finasteride!

Luke, given that my experience has been virtually identical to eBow's, I'd say it's generally in the person's head. That doesn't mean it WON'T happen, but it's certainly not as common as some suggest. I think that a lot of guys don't watch what they eat, though they may claim they do. Also keep in mind that a lot of these posters are between 20-25, and it's NOT uncommon for guys in that age range to gain 20 lbs. It could simply be that.
Frankly, I don't remember passing 180 until I began Fina. 190 was my top weight and in my opinion looked akward on my frame. I had no problems dropping weight thereafter, even on a full-fledged fina regimen. But then, my diet is pretty strict. sh*t, I'm eating some eggs right now. Mmmm...5 scrambled. Then a can of tuna baby, maybe with a drop of lemon on there.

I recall reading a report on the internet some time ago that basically said that taking finasteride could possibly benefit a person who lifted weights...I don't recall the whole article in its entirety, but the main crux of it had to with DHT's hypothetical role in muscle breakdown and/or it's role in impeding muscle atrophy..And, if I remember correctly, it also had something to do with the anit-dht medications "freeing up" more testosterone in the body in general..Something to that effect....So, theoretically, the less DHT a person has in their system, the more effective they should be at gaining muscle....Again, I'm sure this would vary from person to person, and it's not something that I have ever heard much about......But it was interesting.

Okay, get a better country.
Doesn't change the fact that it's about a half hour worth of surgery and basically zero recovery time. This ain't a triple bypass, man, you don't even have to be totally unconcious if you don't want to be. Here's a link to the process:

Also, here's another site with some good pics of the limited, "my nipple is just kinda long and not flat with a little puff" type of gyno guys here complain about:

Keep in mind this kid is 5'11" and 140 at this time.
