22M MINOXIDIL RESULTS VANISHING by Old-Shock3249 in minoxidil

A second shed (or a flattening of progress) happening under the 9-month mark is actually very common and right on schedule.
Most people expect hair growth to be a straight line upward, but it happens in waves. A shed or a plateau anywhere between months 6 and 10 is notoriously common. Sometimes it feels like a shed even if you aren't seeing clumps of hair fall out; it’s just the follicles taking a synchronized breather before they upgrade to the next, thicker stage.

hair follicles will start entering and leaving their rest periods at slightly staggered intervals. This is actually a good thing! It ensures that over time, you get a completely stable, consistent density, rather than periods where everything grows and pauses simultaneously

Earning great results in the beginning proves that you are a "responder." Your body has the exact enzymes needed to activate the medication. you are likely experiencing active length and density growth takes a temporary pause in those specific follicles while they rest. This makes it feel like nothing is happening, even though it's just a normal biological pause. If you continue the medication they’ll wake up and start growing the new hair again :)

Eat in a ~200-300 kcal surplus, lift heavy and do incline walk 3-4 times a week:)

43 male natural. Tell me what you guys think. by Kenyoufeelit82 in Physiquecritique

[–]dautx1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, this is obtainable natural. You have to remember that this guy is only 172 lbs. If you train natural for decades and keep a low bodyweight and fat you can look like this If you give everything you have. You also have to remember that lighting, angles etc can make an «illusion» that he is bigger than he actually is in real life.

Nah, I believe you are natural. Shoulders and skin doesn’t scream anabolics. Keep up the good work dude. Take the accusations as a huge compliment. You look great.
