Been hitting the gym hard lately and I swear my hairline’s starting to recede. I’m 28, and there’s no history of balding in my family. Is it possible the workouts are messing with my hair, or am I just coping? I read that intense training boosts testosterone, which raises DHT, and that can cause hair loss if you’re sensitive to it. Be real with me, bros. I’m not on anything, just training hard and eating clean. Don't wanna end up like that bald muscular guy from that one anime.

Just take fin if you're balding

>>76278994
That doesn't answer the question.

>>76278987 (OP)
Funny thing is I recently began lifting again and since then I've found ZERO hairs in my shower. I think lifting made me lose LESS hair!

>>76279004
The realest answer is Maybe yes.
I think i noticed it too and hopped on fin tho.

>>76279014

My hair stopped falling during my 6 first months and now ive been noticing some harsh balding
Maybe it's seasonal, i havent changed much to my regiment

>>76279034
Don't get much whiter

>>76278987 (OP)
Bro was balding way before then

>>76279048
Thinking back
My training involves way less cardio, i used to roon and sprint then get right to the boxing bag and do cycling at the end, my current training is more powershitting/wrestling directed now

Women prefer a head full of hair over muscles

>>76278987 (OP)
Lifting by itself is thought to increase test by around 20% in general. By itself it shouldn’t accelerate hairloss meaningfully (it does not cause it). As a young balding guy the only gym related stuff that made me think I was going completely bald was creatine, and bear in mind this was 4 years before I started to properly go bald as my genetics dictated

Christ people are fucking delusional, they're always looking for the insta cure or blame. You can see his thinning temples in the first pic, his hair looks like a plume of brown smoke. I've been lifting since I was 13 and have had voluminous hair all my life, the last couple of years it has started to become thinner and spindly. It's because im in my 30s now, that's how it happens its like someone flips a switch one day. Look at Tommy the Duke Morrison or Stipe Miocic, suddenly one day you just show up and your hair lines all fucked up. The only positive imparted from my bald ass daddy, it will rapidly age you once you lose your hair, but as long as you maintain your shape, you'll look the same for the next 25 years.

>>76278987 (OP)
I'm in my mid 30s and no signs of balding yet. I'm very thankful.

>>76279375
>Asian

kek

>>76279375
Show full hairline, bud.

>>76279389
Okay. I don't know what the point is, but here. It's obvious from the first photo I have no balding. My hairline is the exact same as it was in my teens.

>>76279483
That's diffused as fuck thinning lmao, like unironically. Yes, you are balding. You just have the diffused thinning pattern.

>>76279375
>no signs
Who's gonna tell him

>>76279483
Is this what soillennials who post shit like "i get told i look young all the time (by people twice their age lmao)" actually look like ? Holy shit roflmao
You're one gust of wind away from your head looking like the tunguska crater

Doesn't look like he lifted much to me. Looks genetic. May as well say calisthenics or jogging made him lose hair. It'd be just about as accurate a claim.

>>76279483
Bruh, I can literally see your scalp through the hair in both images. That is not how a non balding person's hair looks like. My hair was less thin when I started using finasteride. You have probably lost like 50% density already.

>>76279500
>>76279504
>>76279512
I don't know how it can reasonably be said I have even a remote sign of balding, but I'm a total peace knowing it's identical to my photos from age 16. No wonder people get depressed by what they read on the Internet. Let me enjoy my beautiful hair :(

>>76279524
The three images you posted have very visible thinning. The hairline is good, but the hair density is not nearly as good as you think.

>>76279520
It's just blowdried upward which is why you see a section lifted as well from its resting spot.

Anyway, alright. Guess I learned I'm bald today.

>>76279524
It wont go away now that you've noticed it, close the thread and pretend nothing happens or else the very stress of losing your hair will lead to more hair loss

>>76279536
Nothing happened*

>>76279524
You are unironically diffused thinning. It can go unnoticable even if you have lost like half your density because it's evenly spread out over your scalp rather than the usual male pattern baldness of receding hairline. You should definitely go to a dermatologist and check it out before you wake up one day realizing you lost all your hair at once.

>>76279533
That's really bad news for me. Thank you for your input. Won't be shocked but maybe there's something to what you're all saying even if it looks identical from photos 18 years apart - I'll ask my stylist next time I go for a brutally honest opinion.

>>76279541
I guess the reason I don't trust /fit/ is in this age I still have the exact same problem as I did in my teens (on top of the fact it looks and feels the same) -- it looks and feels super thick which is why taming it is a bit of a bitch.

But hey, I can be wrong. I'll gladly be asking my stylist next time I go.

>>76279536
It's okay - I'm too old/don't care. Let's see what their inputs are when I have it checked.

>>76279562
Don't listen to them. People here in the past made me scared I was going bald by pointing out I have widows peaks. I was terrified until someday I found an old photo of me as a toddler and realized I had exactly the same widows peaks back then.

>>76278987 (OP)
No. Stupid demoralization thread.

>>76278987 (OP)
i was already going bald in the first picture. working out probably had nothing to do with it.

>>76279562
>i’m too old/don’t care
Someone who doesn’t care doesn’t post their hairline on 4chan bro.

>>76278987 (OP)
DHT doesn't rise linearly with increases in testosterone. There's only so many 5ar enzymes being produced every day after all. I'd say that he would've gone bald regardless.
Best advice is to just take finasteride/dutasteride to stop hairloss (and reverse some).

>>76278987 (OP)
If there's anything I learned about hairloss, it's that anything can increase hairloss and there's also some obscure trick/stupid gimmick that could cure it.

Hairloss science is filled with so much bro science bullshit because there isn't a hard cure and the science is too hard for us to completely understand. We alll have a general idea of how to mitigate it.

>>76279929
Please read the post I responded to when I said that. I care about my hairline. I don't care if I get bad news because it still looks amazing. It would be like telling me I'm poor despite having a high salary.

>>76279014
i had a few grey hairs at 39, then when i started lifting seriously, they went away (as in the same strands got dark again where they come out of my head). 45 now, full head of dark hair. human body is weird.

>>76278987 (OP)
Keto, powershitting, creatine and abusing protein shakes all can result in these problems.
There's a reason the baldness epidemic started shortly after the powershitting trend in the 2010s.

>>76280733

if this is you, you are low test and a woman. noone cares about balding

>>76278987 (OP)
Like most things, it's genetics. The guy in the OP is someone you could tell would have a dome and was already showing obvious signs.

And consider this too, you see those soi weak retards on reddit all the time that are bald soijaks and they've never been to the gym a day in their life. Are you going to seriously say they're high test and have been hitting the gym every day? It's genes, simple as that. Even trannies that pump themselves full of HRT from their teen years can still end up looking like Megamind.

>>76280848
Cope, hairlet. I have a head of thicc, beautiful blonde hair. 37 years old btw. But you go on ahead and make yourself impotent with some jew drug lmao.

>>76281581
Sure, here’s your sentence rewritten while keeping your original wording and tone:

By default, nobody—men or women—respects bald men unless they’re crazy rich and influential.

>>76281581
>if this is you, you are low test and a woman
Wouldn't be fucking balding then, would I?

>>76281616
ok champ. When will you stop coming to this anime forum, old man?

What a gay little faggot all his hormones went to his scalp HAHAHAHAHAH gay little pleb

THIS IS FOR ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN STRUGGLING WITH CRAZY SEBUM PRODUCTION THAT"S CAUSING THEIR BALDNESS:

I asked chatgpt what I should do, gave it my diet and everything. No more sunflower lecithin, 5mg of iodine, ginseng,and pygum or whatever that african root is called. It said to do a dilluted ACV rinse, let it dry, then rinse. I just poured it straight on my whole scalp and went to sleep. INSTANTY I noticed that my scalp didn't have this greasy gunk filing up my finger everytime i would pick at my hair. Its now "normal", solid dead skin, a small amount, it under my finger nails when i pick at my head. Absolutely huge. Don't fall for the finasteride meme, jew pharma is never the solution. If anyone wants what it recommened to me to stop it and grow I can send the pastebin. I hope this helps one of you anons

>>76278987 (OP)

>>76278987 (OP)
Yes, working out has always led to balding. Literally go to any gym and you will find many bald people there and people starting to bald. Its not coincidence. On top of this, if you take roids or whey protein, its game over.

Its meant to increase sperm count, which increases test if you dont bust retard. Doing semen retention plus coom stack = faster results and benefits of SR.

>>76282317
>coom stack
you don't have a hairloss stack?

my hair was falling out like crazy for a few years while I was deathly anorexic, started eating and lifting properly and it's better than ever, 29 in a few weeks and my hairline is essentially the same as it was when I was 22, it's not great but I blame that on my mother's father's somalian genes

>>76282386
it basically was a hairloss stack. I derma pen and going to start using black seed oil + rosmary first end of the week and castor oil + peppermint at the end. I don't like using jew pharma and saw that the current essential oil was making the sebum increase so I stoppped. Now im going to incorporate a dilluted ACV mix 2-3x a week with that above mentioned stack. Any recommendations if they're natural?

>>76282341
Biggest cope and retarded claim ever. Be proclaimed by all major religions that are worth a damn and even primitive socities saw the effects of over exeriting the reproductive function.

Linear logic: 1 sperm can create a human that has the capacity of living to 120-150 years old in the most perfect and prime conditions, you release MILLIONS of these when you ejaculate. Your body has to replenish these life giving cells. If you don't coom, keep your thoughts pure so you only produce the amount necessesary, your body will reabsorb these cells back into yourself (sperm is full of zinc, lecithin, and phosphorus, anyone studying the brain knows the brain is also full of these as well) increasing your test, memory, and sharpness. Tons of non-physical benefits as well, you can read these online and just try it for yourself. That's how I got into nofap then semen retention

>wow after 1 week I feel alive now
>woah day 30 and I don't even know If I want to ever have sex again

>wow I feel like shit, I can't believe this was my baseline

Take the SR pill gentlemen, you gain the world and lose your lower self in the process.

I used it a few weeks ago to write an email at work and it churned out terrible advice, recommending someone completely rip out a module to fix an issue. And there was that infamous post where it said to put glue in cheese to make melted cheese thicker.

If you follow that AI advice, you are truly retarded.

By default, nobody respects bald men unless they're crazy rich and influential. Even then, people still view them as lesser compared to successful nonbald people. Still in denial? Lemme ask you this: when was the last time you saw an attractive bald girl?
