Extremely bad body oder. Why? Fix?

[nonameneeded]

Hey guys,

I’m on my first cycle (test-e) 4th week and I noticed that I smell like absolute dog shit when I sweat. I personally don’t smell anything but I’ve noticed some people complain about a foul odor when around me or whenever I walk past them in the gym. It’s quite embarrassing.

I know it’s not a hygiene thing, because I take good care of myself. Deodorant doesn’t seem to help much either.

Could it be something with my diet? a steroid curse? or god forbid, something wrong with my liver?

Do you drink alcohol regularly? That can contribute to funky body odor.

 

[Boykinben82]

Idk bro. That’s odd, I take a lot of pride in my hygiene. I always get compliments about good I smell or people asking me what cologne I wear!!!

Not at all. I don’t drink nor do any other types of drugs.

Are you overweight?

Lucky man.

Nope.

Nope.

I don’t think test would affect it unless it gave you some weird hormonal imbalance. Do you take zinc? Zinc deficiency can cause bad body odor as well. I take zinc twice a day. I only get sick like once every 3 years too, it’s great for the immune system

What carrier oil is the gear in?

 

[Ziath11]

I’ve definitely read of this happening to others before, so I don’t think you’re the only one. As far as the cause and the fix I have no clue.

Nope. But I actually just bought some multi vitamins that contain zinc…would 40mg a day be enough?

Sesame oil

Well I’m glad I’m not alone. I was so happy that I got no other side effects aside from minor acne…then boom now i smell like shit.

I’ll go buy some new soaps tomorrow…I get my soaps homemade, so it could be that they smell bad and I haven’t noticed. Hopefully it’s just soap.

Yeah that’s probably good. I don’t personally like multiple vitamins. I think labels are bullshit. I costs more but I buy everything separately so I can can take done in the morning and some in the evening

I’d say it’s just your hormones. I stink on Tren, pretty sure there’s a little more stink with higher test as well. Try scented body washes etc not sure what you use, shower frequently. I’m an old spice guy for deodorant and body wash. If you’re one of those guys that sweat very heavily you’ll stink.

 

[Boykinben82]

You can carry deodorant and cologne with you and top off a few times a day too

 

[Powerhousehb]

I noticed that when I went on TRT last year the change in hormone levals changed the way my sweat smells. It stinks more and I sweat like a motherfucker during the summer. I use scented deodorant. I also use axe body deoderant. It's a spray and easy to use. I take 3 showers on gym days and 2 showers on non gym days. When I'm blasting the smell get worse. My doctor said it related to my hormone levals. He said if it a problem I should go off TRT. I told him it wasn't a problem I just,wanted to know why.

What is your diet like brother? Just a brief run down on your main foods. I watched a video on this. I'll see if I can track it down.

Nice. I bought it from GymBeam, any experience with this label?

That is true, foods also affect body odor. Just needs to get that ph balance balanced lol and ol spice never fails me unless on tren

Are you hairy by any chance?

While googling the ingredients of a sauce I use a lot, I read it contains a lot of garlic…fml. I’m pretty sure it could be this.

But yeah my diet mainly consists of pasta, couscous, tuna, chicken, vegetable sauces and pesto sauce, peanut butter, coconut butter and milk.

I’ve been sweating like a dog ever since I hopped on. My shirts are almost completely wet after a workout. I’ll go buy some new soaps tomorrow and some better deodorant.

 

[Ziath11]

Stick to stronger body washes too. I tried this natural body wash bullshit once and I would step out of the shower already smelling bad. Gotta have all those good chemicals to make you clean .
Also staying hydrated is a must and might help. Drink lots of water

I personally hope it has something to do with my diet or choice of hygiene products…I hate the idea of being cursed by smelling like shit while on cycle.

From what I remember in that video garlic was to blame for a lot of the issues guys have with this. Could milk cause this I wonder I can't drink regular milk. I have to drink almond milk.

I would definitely cut out all garlic and see if that helps.

I’m quite hairy from my waist down. I’ll probably start shaving my armpits though.

I rather have my skin fried to shit by chemicals and smell good than smell like chemical waste…will look into it.

What a shame. The sauce is pretty fucking delicious, not to mention the extra calories.

I drink about a liter of milk everyday though, but now that I think about it i’m pretty sure it’s the garlic causing this.

Anti-perspirant deodorant right before the gym. If you’re hairy, must can linger in your hair. The only drugs that change the way I smell are tren and anything with guiacol. But it’s a sweet tinge, not just bo. Get bloodwork done though just in case.
