Why do so many powerlifters shave their head? Is it a requirement

maybe

Gotta make weight anon, all that hair will get you put into another weight class if you ain't careful

Drugs

Well most of them are on steroids and have shitty hair as it is. Might as well shave it all off and accept balding early.

Ah, so powerlifters are insecure baldcels. Makes sense.

they take a shitton of drugs and lose all their hair
spo they cut it off completely so they dont look like a 50 year old physics teacher

I imagine carrying a lot of weight + wearing a lot of clothing + working in 1rm ranges produces a lot of heat

Shaving the head gives you a place to vent the heat so you don't pass out

steroids + already older age = disgusting hair

>>40551729
a lot of veteran/older powerlifters are on juice which can accelerate balding.

and it's better to be bald than to have a JUST-tier hairline and thinning crown

>>40551729
with high test coupled with steroid use they often go bald quick

many are hopeless guys without any chance to get laid, hit the gym, they start balding and then there is no turning back.
your typical powerlifter does not get laid often, but is too much of a nerd to embrace the gymbro life which is why he copes by lifting yet being a contrarian at the same time

They lose their hair from test

So if I'm balding early in life (early 20s) that means I'm high test? Or just shitty genetics?

balding happens because your hair follicle cant handle the dht. with age they become more sensitive
no direct correlation to free testosterone levels.

how many frail twinks are balding? enough. How many high T men have chad hair lines? plenty. people telling themselves they have high T because they are bald are uninformed and cope hard.
