Keeping hair while competing?

[burgundy]

I'm assuming the answer is no, or it depends on your genetics, but I'm looking to see any cases to the contrary.

Has anyone here managed to compete year-after-year, still place well, and stop hairloss through taking fina/duta and avoiding DHT anabolics/harsher compounds?

Does that sound feasible or is there not a chance in hell?

I swear my hair is thinning and so I want to start a run of finasteride or the like, but I would like to be an active competitor as well... struggling to just suck it up and part with the hair.

@Black Beard has a great thread on finasteride, dutasteride and other hair loss methods

But high level competition requires you to push compounds that will obliterate your hairline even with 5 alpha reductase blockers, even Jay Cutler got a hair transplant after he retired, and Jay had better hair genetics than most bodybuilders lol

Agreed with above on threads from @Black Beard. But it’s absolutely doable for a period if you reserve DHT compounds for prep only. I only use Mast and Tren during a prep and have great hair. I have gotten stem cell/PRP treatment in my scalp, but my hair was good before that.

I have really good genetics for hair though and believe most will have to pick at some point, including myself as I get older. Doesn’t mean you can’t slow it down in the process.

Either you want to be handsome or you want to be unnaturally jacked, pick one.

I’m trying out the GHK-Cu peptide hair stuff. So far I’m kinda impressed. No real itching of the hair and my hair feels a little thicker 3 weeks on. Hasn’t done anything to the front hair line.

How have you been administering it?

Mines an oil so rubbing it into my trouble spots 3 times a day.

My first show Mast killed my hairline. Avoided it in following show prep

What was it @luki7788 says? Big muscles or hair?

Jokes aside, seems like you already know it’ll mostly come down to genes beyond the help of some drugs that could slow it down

I feel like this might be genetic. My first show was in 2002, competed about a dozen times placing in the top 3 in a handful of shows (back then the open lineups were deeper and it was tougher). Taken lots of gear since, even when not competing, and I’ve got a full head of hair.

Dutasteride and oral minoxidil has kept most of my hair

Your protocol and for how long and your experience please? Tx.

I’m taking dutasteride at 0.5mg for 5 days out of the week . And oral minoxidil at 2.5mg for 5 days out the week . I been at this protocol for a year

Have you noticed increased body hair form the minox?

Interesting, I have injectable and I feel like it has done good things for my skin at a very low dose. I didn't know it was being produced in a topical oil for hair.

None at all

None at all

Crazy...it turned me into a gorilla worse than ever and even worse than that new hair in new places

I come from a family of all thick hair. My mothers father had hair until he was like 90.

Masteron was the first steroid that started my hair loss and even without it, it’s progressed a lot even with just Test now.

What are your thoughts on a Nandrolone-only cycle to prevent hair loss? I know nothing is foolproof but I think I’d rather try that and not compete than go bald.

Finasteride/duta also seems uninviting due to potential ED/other sides

I personally wouldn’t run nandrolone without test in the cycle. I think there are some guys here who have done it.

What’s funny and I have mentioned it here before is that NPP makes me shed more hair than any compound. Couldn’t tell you why. But I’m on test and mast currently and have no issues. It’s always NPP that got me.

Stick to low, moderate test, primo and EQ and you should be fine. You can watch your DHT levels on bloodwork if you’re too worried.
