    If you aren't sweating (and smelling) by the end of your workout, then you are probably doing it wrong.

    In my experience, bad body odor isn't from sweating AT the gym, it's from not washing your gym clothes or not bathing in the past 72 hours. Exercise sweat isn't usually stinky... not like stress sweat is.

    Exactly , Smelly people are a result of bad hygiene . When I sweat I don't stink unless I chowed down loads of garlic the previous day :wink: Smells good

    I believe a lil sweaty smell is normal even when using deoderant properly. bUT a strong stench means someone has consistent body odor and should have bathed before working out.

    I don't think fresh sweat is all that stinky. If people are stinking at the gym they were probably stinky before they went in.

    I haven't noticed it at my gym on anyone though, but I don't really get all that close to anyone lol

    Exactly...

    Re: bad hygeine:
    I wash my gym clothes all the time, always wear clean ones, shower every day and always right after my workout. I work out pretty hard so I get pretty sweaty, and despite it being "clean sweat", I'm not 100 % oderless. Add that up with sweat from a bunch of other gym goers, and it's not going to smell like roses...

    It's a GYM. And human beings smell. Perspiring and releasing hormones, they smell. Excellent hygeine or not.

    But hey, sure, old sweat and dirty gym clothes is a whole other story...

    Mmmmm butyric acid.


    Not to ruin things for you, but if you think hard, you'll notice that fear sweat, vomit, and Parmesan cheese all have one thing in common: butyric acid.


    Funny how context can determine perception

    It's not in whey is it?

    I've noticed when friends increase their protein intake, they smell funny.

    At my gym it always smells like something very high on testosterone died there weeks ago. I grown so used to it that when I'm working out at home I feel like I'm missing something.

    I think that would be mercaptans and hydrogen sulfide.


    I have this little hypothesis that when you smell that, you are taking in more protein at one time than you are absorbing, which results in elevated levels of protein in the bowels, which creates a bacterial and archeal ****storm.

    If you combine elevated protein with elevated sugar, you get the double whammy of volume and power. I call this "the meatloaf effect".

    It's just something I've noticed even with myself if I have more whey-based products than normal. My sweat smells funny especially the armpit area even a couple of hours after washing. Normally I don't smell even washing just once a day and my crystal deodorant is more than capable of keeping me fresh.

    Since when do you not absorb all the protein you eat? Wouldn't this mean you're pooping out protein?

    I used to think crystal deodorant could keep me fresh.

    Or so you think. You probably do not know this, but humans experience body odor very subjectively. You might smell great to one guy and be Beelzebub's breath to another. The way you experience scent as a woman even changes throughout your menstrual cycle. Even more excitingly, YOU smell different to MEN depending on whether you are menstruating or not. Perhaps you should think about that next time you go to the gym and get all judgy?
