Oh noes! Gym is making us bald!

[Pseudonym]

The NZ Herald does it again.

 

Apparently the gym increases testosterone, which converts to DHT, which will make all our hair fall out.

Oh yes, and protein contains growth hormones like creatine, which increases testosterone.

Wow. Just wow.

I'm surprised they didn't try and use a stereotypical powerlifter (bald, fat and bearded) as an example and say it increases facial hair growth and diabeetus risk too...

 

Has about as much proof backing it as their article lol.

 

Better start hitting the cardio lads and get better at running away from things with your full gorgeous locks billowing in the wind..

Its true though.

 

Proof: majority of Olympia competitors are bald.

 

Have a great day!

Steroids over time + genetic predisposition = baldness.

 

I miss my hair.... but it's OK it fell off my head and now resides on my shoulders and back....

Yeah but it doesn't have growth hormone in it like the article states. it may slightly increase it .pharma grade protein. lol

I started receding in my twenties.  Having kids accelerates it greatly.  Would still rather have hair but having it completely looks better than trying to hang on to it.

It is thought that if you add this to your protein shakes you will be A-OK boyz.
