Why don’t I sweat anymore?

[Brain5ick]

I rarely sweat anymore. I used to just be soaked all through my workout just dripping sweat but now about half way through I’ll stop sweating. I have been taking longer breaks by about 5 minutes between sets for strongman training though.

If you’re taking longer breaks it makes sense you’re not sweating as much. Also, if you’re getting more used to a given workout/workload, it’s possible you may sweat less than when it was new and more difficult.

Blocked glands?


Not training at a high enough intensity maybe?

I think it’s intensity honestly but maaaaan I’m blowing up off this strongman regimen haha.

If you're doing a powerlifting workout split you probably have longer rest periods. When I train for strength (5x5's or 3x5's) I don't sweat nearly as much, but the 1-3 minute rest allows for more intensity during your sets. Just make sure you aren't resting too long and spending unnecessary time in the gym

Have you dropped in weight?

When i was carrying alot more fat i sweated like crazy even doing minor chores. Now that im alot leaner i rarely sweat at all. Not sure the science behind it all but if you have dropped weight it might just be that?

More than likely as others have mentioned it's change in rest time,and possible loss of bodyfat over time.
