Weight Lifting Routines - Does it cause baldness?

Hi all ,welcome back to Weight Lifting Routines....

Today I happened to come across a rather interesting article about some British scientists who have being carrying out tests that they say links Weight Lifting with going bald!!!!!

I didnt like the sound of that so I read on..........

British scientists say lifting weights can cause baldness.

That's because weight training increases testosterone levels immediately after a session, rising 25 percent after 45 minutes, The Sun reported. About 30 minutes later, testosterone levels drop as the hormone is converted to dihydrotestosterone or DHT, which shrinks hair follicles and roots.

"We have seen an increase in men in their 20s and 30s who regularly circuit train," Rogers Medical Group, a practice specializing in hair transplants, said in a statement. "There's no doubt it is often a factor in hair loss."

It has to be said that I have been Weight Lifting for many years and my hair is goin nowhere....trust me!!!
