I'm barely into my 20s and im experiancing a growing windows peak (temporal recession). I enjoy bodybuilding/weightlifting but I also enjoy my hair. I know working out raises free testosterone levels which would also mean raised DHT (the cause of hair loss) if I am correct. So does this mean my weightlifting substancially accelerate my hairloss or am I dead wrong (which i hope)

Working out does not increase testosterone levels... hence it does not increase hairloss. Testosterone levels are controlled by your pituitary, the master gland of the body. Weightlifting does not effect hormone secretion in any way... it merely makes muscle cell hypertrophy (enlarge) to accomodate for the extra work demanded by them.
Now taking anabolic steroids... that will increase hair loss!

In order to put high testosterone in check use a beta sitosterol containing herb like pumpkin seed, saw palmetto or pygeum which binds up with the enzyme that converts testosterone into the toxic dihydrotestosterone. This also dramatically helps swollen prostate issues.

Steroids will increase hair loss. Steroids increase testosterone.

Really, I think it is your genetics. I work out regularly and have a full head of hair. Maybe you should consider Hair Club for Men or Rogaine. My brother is balding, and Rogaine has really helped him out.
