Ammonia smell

[edvanp]

I'm taking 12 ciabiol pills per day. I really like the results. I've noticed lately though, that after I work out, I smell like ammonia. I typically lift weights for 45 minutes then do 10-15 minutes of HIIT on a stationary bike. I've never had this smell before.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

Thats what muscle growth smells like:}

Are you sweating more than usual?

I did a little research and found this: "The reason this happens is ammonia is a by-product of protein metabolism. When you run hard and long, your body burns protein and carbohydrates for fuel. When the carbs are burned off (or when there aren’t adequate carbohydrates), the distinctive ammonia smell presents itself." ALSO: "The smell usually isn’t anything to worry about. But if it persists, you probably aren’t taking in enough carbohydrates. If you emphasize carbohydrates before, during and after running and the ammonia smell is still around, you should get checked out by a physician."

I don't rest much between sets when lifting and then I do my HIIT at the end. I do limit my carb intake a little bit, but I wonder if the cialabol is having an effect on me?

Exactly how many carbs do you take it around your Cialabol doses?

It varies by meal, but usually 50-70 grams I'm guessing???

I've always had this when my protein consumtion is high and I'm growing, but I normally notice it when taking a piss lol

I noticed this when i pissed before as well, try upping your carb and water intake.

The ammonia smell is associated with users of products like Tiratricol as well. It usually shows up after awhile of use, and is strongest when sweaty, but is even present immediately after a shower. Pretty sure it is the protein breakdown.

Huh !!

Wow........I thought I was crazy!!

I smell it quite often in the shower after lifting or cardio, and always wondered what the heck it was. Thats why I love this site, I never would have thought to ask this one.

Bubbaw,
For the most part, the smell should NOT be a normal thing. As I mentioned regarding Triac users, it usually shows up after a while of use. It's not necessarily something to freak out about, but definitely isn't a norm. I suppose the protein breakdown may not be the ONLY cause of the smell..... it'd be nice if a doctor weighed in on this one. We got any doctors in the house?
