Does Weight Lifting Make You Bald?

Probably. An article from UPI suggests you can contribute to baldness by weight lifting.  The logic is that the weight lifting increases your testosterone immediately after a workout.  Following that, your testosterone will drop which converts into a hormone which causes hair follicles and roots  to shrink.

Say it aint so.  Could my weight lifting be hurting my hair?  Yeah, probably.  My hair is thinning and I’ve already lost a lot of hair follicles.  Of course my grandpa was bald so I have genetics at play too.

The research is there, but then again it’s not full proof.  Things have a way of being slanted to prove what the people conducting the experiments want to prove.

My take is if you’re going bald, it was probably because you were going bald anyway.
