Wait, can you elaborate on putting on bone density in response to stress ? Never heard of that one before.

They probably mean stress on the bones, not like, anxiety stress. Bones get denser when you do weightlifting.

To add to what u/Cautemoc said, corticosteroids actually cause the loss of bone mass.

Stress as in physical stresses. Heavy weightlifting like the other guy said, but you'll also see it from impact like people that get really into martial arts or who swing tools for a living. It tries to build up where you see micro fractures but it can't recover stronger from major damage like true breaks.
