I am 19 years old. Does weight training and heavy workout cause hair loss? Cause it increases DHT. Also why are bodybuilders bald?

Weight lifters taking anabolic steroids or supplements designed to increase testosterone levels could see an acceleration of normal male pattern hair loss if they are genetically predisposed. In addition, supplements containing too much vitamin A could contribute to hair loss. So it is very unlikely that your weight lifting program is contributing to hair loss unless you are taking some steroids along with that.
