Is Resistance Training Bad For Hair Growth?
Resistance training, or working out with weights, is a stressful activity. By definition, stressful activities are bad for hair growth. However, there are men and women who routinely workout with weights and resistance machines and don’t feel stressed at all.
So what is the difference? The difference is these men and women enjoy their workouts with weights. As for me, weight training is a necessary activity that I need to do in order to maintain muscle tone and strength, bone density, higher metabolism, and produce growth hormones. This all sounds great. However, I don’t enjoy weight training. Therefore, it is a stressful activity for me. Because it is stressful for me to engage in weight lifting, it causes my hair to thin.
So what do I do about that? I go back to my hair growth basics and follow the hair growth principles in my book, “HealthAnalysis Hair Growth System (HGS),” more closely. In so doing, I compensate with more hair growth producing exercise activities and diet practices. And it works for me every time.
This past year, I embarked on an aggressive bodybuilding program. I was building muscle mass and was very happy with the progress I was making. Unfortunately, within the 6 months (May through December 2009) that I spent bodybuilding, I also watched my hairline thin at my forehead, and begin to break up. I tried to compensate by walking more as part of my weight lifting routine, but it wasn’t enough.
It turns out that I was not spending enough time on my work out sessions. But how much time is enough to build muscle and at the same time grow hair? In my book, I cover the story of Dave C. Dave worked out routinely with weights and had the hairline of a 12 year old. Dave’s success with hair growth was due to his worked out sessions being several hours long 6 days a week. I don’t have that kind of time to devote to bodybuilding or hair growth. I suspect that most of you out there don’t have the time either.
Because weight lifting is not my focus, I decided to follow a different strategy. I went back to my book and began to follow my own plan more closely. As a result, my hairline has stabilized and I am re-growing my hair to the thickness it was before I began lifting weights. Once my hair thickens sufficiently, I will begin longer workout sessions so I can lift weights and build muscle mass while continuuing to grow and maintain a great hairline.
How much time will I need to spend working out to accomplish both objectives? My book (HGS) provides step-by-step instructions on how to accomplish hair growth with a minimal amount of time exercising. The step-by-step instructions allow you to develop a program tailored to meet your exercise and hair growth needs. I will return to weight lifting soon, and with the help of my book will spend the least amount of time exercising while achieving an impressive muscle tone and a great hairline.

Jorge,
Do you believe that one can regtrow the hairline down the forehead to its original position? Not just thicken it up? I have purchase your e-book.
thanks
Scott, — Thanks again for the purchase of my eBook. If you will send me a list of the foods that you typically eat and exercises including walking that you partake in and at what times of the day you do each, I can suggest changes that will help you regrow the hairline of your youth. With the specific recommended changes that I will make, the re-growth of your hairline will be faster. You will see a dramatic difference within 6 months instead of 18 months.
Do keep in touch via the Comment function on HealthAnalysis.com (new Blog version). I would like to see you make dramatic progress with your hair growth. Meanwhile, let me know how my plan is working.
To answer your question: Yes, you can re-grow your original hairline – including down your forehead to it’s original position. If you are following the plan in my book, it will just be a matter of time.
