I don't sweat when I lift weights. I know my heart rate goes up and I'll be breathing hard at the end of reps but I don't sweat. End of the workout my muscles feel completely dead and I'm tired. This is the same with even cardio exercise- unless its extremely humid and hot outside I won't sweat while I'm running. I mean, I'll sweat a little bit but I'm not drenched like other people. I love hot weather and hate the cold? Would that factor into it?
Is this a problem? I never feel like I'm getting overheated in any workout, but does it mean I'm not working hard enough? I drink about 100oz of water a day

I sweat horrendously sometimes, given the right conditions. However, back when I was a teenager, I could do 45min sessions of intense cardio and not get sweaty.

I don't sweat very much at all. And when I do, it's not in "traditional" areas. I wish I sweated in armpits, head, etc. But no, the first place to sweat is of all areas, my leg pits and back of upper thigh. Ugh!! I cannot wear cotton pants since it just looks awful. Next place to sweat (and this has to have some cardio going on for a while) is my belly button area, behind my knees, and of all places, my forearms. Then when I get really worked up, my lower back gets sweaty. My armpits and brow are, in the meantime, dry as the sahara. Mind boggling!
Gym PRs:
SQ: 360 x 1, BP: 165 x 1, DL: 330 x 2, OHP: 110 x 2
Best meet lifts (raw w/wraps):
SQ: 365, BP: 155, DL: 350, Elite total of 870 @165

I don't drip with sweat when weight lifting, but tend to sweat moreso than other lifting days, when it's leg day. Or when I do supersets. Definitely drip with sweat during the summer months here in FL, when running or cycling outdoors. I own a spin bike, and that'll soak me, depending on the intensity.
I like dripping with sweat, actually--I do see guys at the gym who are often drenched during their lifting workouts. 'Tis a mystery how we're all different, eh?
