[shafts basson]

5'9 180. I have been slowly getting back into the swing of things.

I thought it was Normal for a while but after I run and in the shower the smell of amonioa is overwhelimg. I thought it was my body sweating all the alcohol fat I use to drink off but I'm concered now.

I run on a empty stomach a majority of the time. Est 3-5 miles

Diet isn't perfect but usually:
Morning: 2 cups oatmeal an egg or two
Lunch: brown rice w 1egg peas carrots
After workout/run: 1 chicken breast w pasta
Later: left overs

Natural no AAS

EDIT: I saw the other post my bad. Disregaurd this post

Many of us have experienced this - especially during prolonged cardiovascular exercise. Your sweat has an acrid, ammonia-like smell. Its from the nitrogen in your body i believe.

So this is a good thing or a sign something needs to change?

its completely normal, its just ur body telling you it burned all your carbs away so its pretty much using deep glycogen and fat storage too keep you going. the smell is an offset gas of nitrogen. Protein is high in nitrogen and when being burned for fuel the ammonia smell is what u get

no my friend this is not normal that smell of ammonia is your body running on its own protein sources for energy... in simple terminology... YOUR LOSING MUSCLE

[firsttimer22]

i think he means in terms of is it normal to smell, which it is, its nothing bad or life threatening.... but yes it is a bad thing because its ur muscle being burned

i wouldnt recommend this either.... simple just increase your carb intake overall or decrease your intensity level of cardio...that simple

[shafts basson]

Ok good deal. Ill increase the carbs since I don't want to decrease intensity.
