Intense Lifting and Hairloss

[mrplunkey]

Long story short. My friend and I get guys ready for the NFL combine. We put them on these unsustainable 8ish week programs that are basically systematic overtraining. They take 3-4 days off just before the combine and always seem to go out and kick ass.

Here's my question... We got stuck where we had to do two of these 8-weekers back to back. Even with healthy, NFL-wannabe 22-year olds, they are wrecked by the 8th week. My business partner and I did the programs with them... and we're 36 and 37 years old and did two back to back.

During about the 12th week, I started shedding like a dog. I blamed it on the particular combination of AAS I was using. But then... my partner experienced hairloss as well (almost exactly the same degree, too) and he's a rabid anti-AAS guy -- I've known him for 12+ years and he doesn't even toy with the idea of using.

Anyway... has anyone else experienced hairloss doing prolonged "wreck your life" workout routines?

I tell my friends that I'm anti-aas as well, but little do they know .......

i lost more hair using those lame-ass diones and diols than regular aas.

This guy is basically a brother to me and he's worked with steriod users for years -- but never used. He's always been into the "natural/raw" type lifting competitions and never even considered AA's an option. He's not biased or prejudiced in any way against them, he just doesn't think they are "for him".

Bump! Anyone else lose hair during high intensity training? We both also got whole-body swelling and some pretty nasty whole-body tendonitis!
