What the sweat?

When I go to the gym I work hard...like really hard. Most days if I am burning between 800-1500 calories per my HRM.
This is kind of embarrassing actually.
I sweat...alot. Its usually after my 10 minute warm up. If I don't hit 150-165 HR, I tend to not have a high burn strength training workout. I don't care about the sweat around the collar, or even the back on my knees but I hate hate hate the sweat that goes down my back, eventually ending down the crease of my butt. I get a line right down the middle of it! LOL
Anyone else experiencing this? Are there any shorts/pants out there that will help with it? I am sick of going in the locker room and blow drying my butt a few times a workout session.

    Douglas Adams in his Meaning of Liff book described that as an "Elsrickle". :laugh:

    Loads of people have bum sweat, just means your working hard. I wouldnt let it disrupt my workout.if it bothers you maybe a pantyliner would help absorb sweat, and maybe a pair of boyshort knickers underneath your bottoms?

    I sweat mainly around the face and upper body. Eye brows and a little body hair for the win lol

    Another with an efficient cooling system here! At y Monday night tri class (spinning / strength) I will literally have a puddle under my bike and take a spare shirt to change between spinning & strength.

    I have learned to love my under armour compression shorts & tri shorts - the fabric wicks away sweat very efficiently and the shorts are plain black so no obvious butt sweat streak.

    Yes to the black pants. I either use moisture wicking pants when I run or black yoga pants when I do the arc trainer/strength train. That way, when I sweat, you can only see the sweat on my upper body. Normally a nice sweat ring across my upper chest and a soaked back. Probably my only embarrassing sweat incident was after I did the arc trainer and the completed strength training by doing the curl machine, which is in front of a mirror. I had perfect circles of sweat around my boobs, framing them nicely. LOL

    I display my sweat proudly. I am embarrassed if I don't sweat.
