Does Gyming Cause Hairloss? Read Description Pls

[Alex95]

Hello, I'm 22 and I've been using finasteride for about some months now as a preventive measure, no major hairloss to speak off just to prevent beginning of minor hairline recession and was thinking to start gyming to build some muscle nothing major just a 3 days a week normal workout routine to stay in shape. I know weight training spikes testosterone production which in turn converts into more DHT and can cause hair loss. So as I am already taking finasteride will that be enough to cancel out the excess DHT conversion due to workouts?
TIA

I think finasteride gets rid of 95% of DHT so you should be fine (though it may be dutasteride, i forget)

Do you mean training makes Testosterone higher and it converts to DHT?I thought when your Testosterone is low DHT goes higher to compensate it

There is no evidence and no convincing argument from theory that a natural fitness regimen will either accelerate or decelerate your alopecia.

Yes its dutasteride, finasteride blocks like 70% only.

I did a bit of bodybuilding when i was younger. Diffuse NW3 at 23 years old.
My brother? Never did any gym in his entire life. Result? Balding at the exact same rate as me.

Therefore... Working out doesn't cause nor speed up hair loss.

It's a purely speculative article, with poorly-founded speculation.

The article title refers to "protein shakes", but in the text they say it's only protein shakes with added elements such as DHEA and creatine. In that case, it's the DHEA and creatine that are the problem, not the protein shakes. The vast majority of protein shakes contain neither DHEA nor creatine.

The link between DHEA and hairloss is not substantiated in men. The link between creatine and hairloss is not substantiated, what we have is a single mediocre study linking creatine with increased serum DHT, which is different from scalp DHT.

Balding men actually have lower or comparable levels of serum testosterone and DHT:

The article then ends with the claim that balding men need more vitamins and minerals, which isn't substantiated and contradicts the claim that it's genetic. If it is indeed genetic, then it's what the body is supposed to do, adding more vitamin C won't slow down the process.

it just goes to show how much utter bunk is put out there about hair loss

I don't think Gyming makes Testosterone higher and it converts to DHT. There is no any scientifically proof, Which will Clarify that High Testosterone will cause hair loss problems.

Naturally induced test spikes should make zero difference. Plus you're on finasteride so you should be fine anyway. I stick to a heavy intensity workout schedule and also take finasteride, and my hair currently looks the best it has in years
