> Cortisol is also released during strength training, though.

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.
