Can weight lifting increase hair loss due to rising testosterone?

Question

It’s been theorized that weight lifting increases testosterone and, as a result, DHT increases which accelerates balding for people with androgenetic alopecia. How true is that ? And why ?

Jeff Rapaport, MD · Answer

There is some evidence that heavy weight lifting can increase testosterone. This would increase testosterone and may cause hair loss  with a fairly active alpha reductase enzyme producing DHT . My suggestion would be to add a DHT blocker.
