If you take steroids, yes, that can happen.

It's not the weight lifting that does it hun, its the steroids some people take!!
Of course when the rest gets bigger your member may optically look smaller in comparison, but unless you're abusing anabolic steroids this won't happen.

That is absolutely false. STEROIDS has been shown to shrink the size of the testes (not the penis), but weightlifting does not affect the genitals whatsoever. In fact, if you're lifting weights and building muscle (and losing fat), your penis is likely to appear larger after you burn off the pubic fat which hides a portion of the penis.

Since as a result of heavy weight lifting or bodybuilding your leg muscle (specially quads) will develop and grow, the penis might end up looking smaller.
As for steroids, I have read that abuse may entail the shrinkage of testicles (as well as causing infertility), but not of the penis.

Dont know but what I do know is that the steroids that some weight lifters take definitively do.

I think it may just seem that way cause of the way guys work out. They end up getting these HUMONGOUS muscles everywhere, it may just seem to have shrunk.
