Working out and hair loss.

[[email protected]]

Lifting should increase testosterone levels. Testosterone gets converted into DHT by 5-alpha-reductase. DHT is bad news for hair. finasteride, dutasteride, spironolactone, etc. inhibit 5-alpha-reductase, so it can't convert testosterone to DHT. But if you're lifting and ultimately making more testosterone (which you want when you're lifting), is the finasteride/etc. going to be able to keep up?

I think this boils down to what the ideal level of testosterone is. Also: Should a man supplement with testosterone or use HCG? How much? It's an optimization problem. I would guess that the increase in test from working out could be more than offset by increasing finasteride / dutasteride dose.

I know dutasteride is dose dependent but I don't know about Finasteride. There is some flat dose response curve theory I read somewhere which says Finasteride isn't dose dependent. I am not sure and I may be wrong. Any more inputs?

I'm really curious about the answer to this question, once and for all. I see some articles stating that it will increase DHT and some that don't.

lifting spikes testosterone but its so marginal I highly doubt you would notice any difference.

Please please please if you have read any studies or any articles, post the links.

I worked out for years with 0 hairloss before my genetics kicked in. I wouldnt worry about it.

Naah mate, you are having a different case. The question is that will Finasteride stop the hair loss after the genetics kick in.

 

[shookwun]

it may and it may not. For most it slows it down, but it's never 100% guaranteed.


The drug has worked very well for me.

Its really not worth altering your normal thing to try avoiding some very minor hair loss . Long term nature will run its course anyway. The lifting wont matter much either way

the benefits of lifting weights and putting on size will far outweigh the slight (unproven?) risk of losing more hair. I have been on treatment for 3 years and noticed no accelerated loss whilst lifting for the past year. Even if it does, I would rather be big and bald than skinny and bald.
