more than compensated for by the compressive loading signals from lifting heavy.

How do compressive loading signals compensate for cortisol production? Seems like one is a nerve signal and the other is a hormone?

The previous post was referring to the overall bone density change. The skeletal loading from strength training is a stronger signal for bone density increase vs the negative impact on bone density from increased cortisol production.
