    Does anyone else not sweat?

    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 much more in the summer. Even in climate controlled gym. I think it's fine, you're body will sweat if it needs to.

    I don't sweat that much either. On leg days I do, but of other days, just a tad. It takes A LOT of hard cardio before I start to sweat as well, like a spin class.

    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 sweat a lot, doesn't help that I tend to wear a hoodie all year long. Moves like squats, kroc rows have me pouring

    I didnt use to sweat at all! I would glisten just a bit when I would run 4 miles back in the day. Now that I understand the importance of drinking lots of water, yeah... I sweat BIG time now!

    I don't sweat really, never have. I think my thermostat is a bit off and tend to be a bit cold. For me it was due to recurring cold weather injuries.

    It isn't something I am particularly worried about.

    I usually only sweat on leg and back day, other days I'll get a little warm, maybe get a few beads of sweat on my forehead, but I won't be drenched in sweat. Cardio on the other hand, get my going a little faster than a brisk walk and I start pouring sweat almost immediately.

    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?
