Hair loss, anyone?

[Nauticus]

Has anyone here experienced hair loss since you've started weightlifting? Obviously, not all folks will be susceptible.. but I'm 20, and my hairline has gone pretty far up. I don't care, really, just curious if anyone else is in the same boat.

Most likely it's a coincedence. Unless you are taking vitamin S it is based on genetics.

Nope, if anything I now have a preceding hairline. My beard and hair are definitely growing faster.

Strength training is believed to cause an increase in testosterone levels, which can explain both a receding hairline and increased facial hair.

Hair loss is the only evidence there is a god.

What evolutionary advantage could there be for mean highschool girls laughing at your receding hairline? None.

Ergo, there is some supernatural force making my life suck lots.

Bryan, buck up little camper. When life thows you lemons, put those lemons in an empty pillow sack and beat the shit out of life with it. You need to go get rich and strong and I guarantee whatever those mean spirited high school girls say to you won't bother you.

I agree coincidence. It likely would have happened without the training. Just wait soon youll have hairs growing out of places you never thought you would. The joys of aging LOL

Why else would he take it from the top of your head and move it to your ears, nose and ass?
