Not sure if anyone else has experienced this or currently does...I've been noticing it for a while.
Late into my lifting or long cardio sessions, my sweat begins to smell like ammonia - like so strong it burns my eyes!
What the heck!
So, after doing a search, I came across this article over at bodybuilding.com...
Seems to come down to a nitrogen deficiency and breakdown of amino acids creating the urea and the kidneys not being able to clear it fast enough so its released in the sweat.
Any thoughts on this? Suggestions beyond what the article says? Do I need more carbs before or maybe during my sessions?
Maybe some supplementation ideas? Maybe shorter sessions? (Currently about 2+ hours per session)
Currently, I'm drinking around 3 liters of water during...Pre w/o is 6oz. coffee, 5g creatine, 5g BCAA, 1000mg Niacin and a snickers.
The last solid meal before lifting (about 2 hours prior) is usually 500g chicken or pork with a lot of rice and veggies...I'm always VERY full and sleepy from this meal.
