sweat smells like ammonia/urine

**FLHRCI** · 11-07-2004, 09:51 PM

Ive noticed that when I have a really hard workout recently, that when I get real sweaty there is an ammonia-like smell in my sweat.... not quite a urine smell - it ambarrasing. Doesnt matter if I take a shower before the work out, my clothes are clean, my diet is clean. My supps are currently only Animal Pak multi, protein, creatine. Last thing I did was that new Animal Stak 2 and M-Stak. Its been at least 2 months since Ive done any PH (Animal Test).

seems like I read something somewhere about something converting to ammonia and coming out in your urine, but what is the deal with it in y sweat? its weird.

obviously nobody wants their sweat to smell like ammonia or urine so Im really open to any one's advice.

cool. I was starting to wonder if I had a real problem of some kind, but it sounds like the kind of thing you experience from time to time and you simply make adjustments to get things back in balance.

Ive bumped my protein intake up because Im going heavy on a lot of stuff right now... lots of powerlifting and really pushing my strength limits to new levels. I had to cut down to 4 days of training a week because going heavy like this was really wearing me out and I needed the rest.

So its just another adjustment in diet and training it sounds like.

thx

you know, i have been lurking around this website for quite some time now, and that is the first time i have seen that. sorry bros, but i do think that the average human being may find that humerous. now knowing that it is a real issue, i now understand. it is a legitimate question, and a problem that is no where as serious as gyno, which can be easily corrected.

I think I started the same problem just this week. I find that at times when I take too much vitamines, my urine smells like old buttered popcorn! Well i kept on getting a wiff here and there from my body this tuesday!!!!!!! I thought maybe my pants or shoes, girlfriends cat peed on it maybe. Well today its the same, I even smelt my shoes just to make sure and its not that.

So im taking it its me. Only things I changed are I started creatine monday and I started tanning a couple weeks back. Guess ill have to experiment
