Gyming(with heavy weights) increases the Testosterone levels in your body, hence increasing DHT and hence speeding up your hairloss. I have been gyming for 10 years and have experienced it first hand. On the other Hand if you gym and do cardio vascular exercise it is said that it decreases the Testosterone levels hence I would imagine it would slow down the hair loss process.

If you feel you must gym with heavy weights try Propecia which blocks DHT from forming, but I must tell you it doesnt completely block it only slows it down, if you do heavy weights you are bound to loose hair quicker.

I hope this isnt true, either way though i wouldnt stop working out. It has many benefits and i dont think theres any proof simply lifting weights would cause more hairloss.

Your body needs Testosterone to build muscle it is a natural catalyst in building muscle. Its a very simple logic behind it more you push to make bigger muscles the more testosterone your body will produce, body builders usually take extra testosterone pills to go over the capacity wich your body can actually produce it to give them a extra push. But if you dont have mail pattern baldness problem then you can gyme 10 hours a day every day your hair wont fall off!!

Regular physical exercise is very beneficial as it helps in balancing the body chemicals. It looks like your husband has a male pattern baldness. Hair loss is a progressive situation and last all life long. He could take medication such as Propecia and Rogaine, and see a hair specialist for a hair loss evaluation.

I would like to have Dr. Cole weigh-in on this. I lift weights and would stop if it meant I could keep more hair. I am content to run to stay in shape. I lifted very hard from 15 through about 30 and I lost a lot of hair even while on Rogaine much of the time. I have noticed a lot less hair loss recently while on Propecia, and coincidentally, I have not lifted very much in the last two years. I used to lift 4-5 times a week and the last two years I have probably gotten into the weight room 15-20 times total. Thoughts???

Hair loss can have many causes and often there is never a clear answer. A number of things can cause excessive hair loss such as deficient diet, hormone imbalance, certain medicine, infections, certain diseases, stress, aging and others. Most of these causes are temporary and can be reversible.

A healthy lifestyle with a good diet and exercise will optimize your body function and that includes hair.

Weigth bearing excersice can increase Testosterone levels, and might speed up your hair-loss. However, male pattern baldness is not caused by excercise. It is genetic; it's something inherited, a predisposition that existed before we were born.

I would be a good idea to get back to the gym for a combination of cardio and lifting for overall health. Very Happy Propecia should cover any increase in DHT caused by temporary increase in testosterone levels.
