Propecia and Muscle Mass Question

[Mercer]

Now a few days after my 2nd HT, I've made the decision per the recommendation by the folks at SMG to start taking Propecia.

 

Honestly, I'm actually not too worried about the potential decrease in libido. I'm more worried about the loss of testosterone and loosing lean muscle mass or suffering from gynecomastia. I consider myself a pretty fit guy and I don't want to risk any of that.

 

Has anyone whose been taking Propecia for a number of years experienced any of these sides?

Check out my previous posts on this. Propecia suppresses DHT. DHT is what gives us male characteristics including muscle mass. There is plenty of information about this on the internet.

I work out for 20 years and use Propecia for 4 years and haven't noticed any of those effects. I'm such a big guy and take lots of supplements and I'll never give up Propecia because any of those studies ot theories or whatever. Even if it makes me loose muscle mass, which honestly I don't believe, I'll never prefer to be a little more stronger but bald. I also have never noticed any decrease in my libido. But it's just me you know.

I have found losing body-fat on fin' difficult in comparison to before. My test levels are low so this would naturally make things harder. I don't know whether fin' is has made things more difficult but I'm edging towards thinking there may be a link.

 

My diet is spot on and the cardio/weights should result in lowering my bodyfat as it once did but alas not these days...I keep on trying though
