Ever since this last offseason, ive been sweating an emmense amount. Its only when i physically exert.(yeah i know same old story) But the funny thing is that i never used to sweat as much as i do now. I really sweat, i could run for 15-20 mins and it looks like i got out of a shower, but i towel off and continue along.

Is this a natural consequence to muscle gains/diet change? I did gain 6-8 lbs of muscle in the off season and lost some of the baby fat. On top of that I began to consume a good gallon plus of water per day.

Since this seems to be a drastic change for you I would see your doctor for a check up just to make sure you are fine

I agree with TRhit, you should ask your doctor about it because it was such as drastic change... just to be safe. But quite frankly I don't think it's anything to worry about. Some people sweat more than others. I sweat a lot compared to most and I'm a skinny 6'2" 170 lbs. It's just your body's way of cooling itself down.

Thanks guys, I made a doctors appointment to get a check up.

AKFirstbasemen,

Happy to see that you come on here for advice and listen. That shows alot of maturity. Hope all is well. let us know.

Most likely a sign of your body becoming a more efficient cooling system.

So this afternoon they squeezed me in! It turns out that its all 100% good. As Mr. Doyle said that my body is more efficient in cooling. My doctor said it also.

My doctor also theorized this!

Are Facility(not my teams 100%, we use the cages and the s****r field for throwing/live BP, but the indoor baseball fields are little league):

The facility that my team practices in is a huge dome, its inflated and it feels like a jungle when you enter it, because they have to maintain the inflation, and with the varying temperature we expierience in souther Alaska, the humidity is always changing (not sure how it all works the inflation, but it is very engineer brained). But anyways my doctor hypothesized that the atmosphere in the dome is different, an abnormal pressure, and that my body is having an adverse reaction to it.

Either way, he said it was nothing serious at all and to keep on working!


(PS. This may look fishy since i posted at 4:06 pm EST, but we are 4 Hours behind the east coast so i went in at 2:30 AKST, LOL) But the main thing is that ALL IS WELL AND BASEBALL WILL CONTINUE! TRIP TO RENO, NV in 4 WEEKS!!!!

i'm not sure about this but i remember hearing that if you take more salt into your diet, it decreases the amount that you sweat.
like i said, i am not sure about this, i thought i would just throw it out and see if anyone knows anything about this.

mstcks... why would you want to sweat less? If your body naturally does something... it must do it for a reason.


Also... to the op: that dome is cool. I watched the video... looks like a blast! What if it popped?

rays fan, i dunno what happens, it would be a sight im sure.

but.

funny story, last october me and another kid were bringing a portable mound in for the pitchers on are travel team and we got to come in through an overhead garage style door. It was crazy, we opened one door and walked into a huge tunnel that branches off the dome to bring in huge things, then we opened the other door without closing the first overhead door. And it was like a wind tunnel, the walls were shaking violently, and this lady that worked there ran in and said CLOSE THE DOOR CLOSE THE DOOR!!!! Well naturally we were cracking up because we thought it was funny. And the lady started laughing too.

It was crazy, Scientifically when the pressure inside of a closed system is higher than the outside atm pressure, you get the wind tunnel in the escape of the high pressure air.
