Sweating issues...

Skribble · Basic Member Joined: 23 Oct 2006 Location: Brownsville, TX

Ok, i have a problem. Whenever i go to the arcade and start playing, by the end of my second song im usually sweating like crazy. Im a 9-10 foot player, just recently started passing the max's. Ill pick holic first, just to warm up.. then ill play csfilsm or hvam, and by the time im done my shirt is soaked. It's pretty annoying. Im 6'4, 270 pounds.... im not a twig

. I know losing weight will help me with this problem.... if only losing weight was that easy

. Are there any kind of specific exercizes that can help me with this problem? I know it sounds like a stupid question... but im desperate here. All my "skinny" friends can do a few sets of songs and not sweat at all. I usually wear jeans and a t-shirt. Any advice is welcome

Well, firstly, you need a more gradual warm-up to get your body set up.

But otherwise...hey, the more sweat, the better. As long as your stamina doesn't take a hit.

Don't worry about it. I sweat like a MAN when I do songs that take a lot of stamina for me. Just make sure you keep hydrated and have fun.

I don't think it has anything to do with weight either. Chances are, if you lost the weight, you'd still sweat a lot.

I sweat 23846293749237432 times more than anyone else at my arcade. But really, it's no big deal as long as you don't smell; that's what deodorant is for.

After playing for about 6 hours I look like I took a shower with my clothes on.

People have brought up this topic before, and I decided to Google it just now. I found out that excessive sweating is actually a recognized medical condition. It's called Hyperhidrosis, but it seems to be something that can cause excessive perspiration even when you're not nervous or physically exerting yourself. There are treatments available, but most of them are kinda extreme or have side effects. As others have mentioned, though, weight has nothing to do with it. I knew a skinny little kid in grade school who would leave shirts drenched after dodgeball games in gym class. Maybe all your skinny friends just have heat stroke or something.

As Reenee says, you might just need a more gradual warm-up method. Play 7-8 footers just to loosen up for a few songs, then go for the 9-10's.

The temperature in the arcade could have a big effect as well. Of all the arcades I go to, Cedar Point's is by far the worst in the summer. Air conditioning hardly does anything and I sweat a lot.
But really, there isn't a heavy difficulty DDR player that I know that doesn't sweat a fair amount after doing HVAM, Max 300, etc. So IMO, it just is a natural thing.

Bring a rag with you and a drink if you must.

weight does, unless its all muscle. fat is an insulant, it keeps ur body warm. if u have a lot of it, ur naturally warm, but if u do activities involving cardio, ur gna sweat like a pig. and the more u weigh, the harder ur body has to work. making u work hard and sweat a bunch

Everyone sweats different amounts. I sweat a lot, enough that the arcade owner reminds me to towel off the pad and bar when I'm done (THis has happened multiple times at multiple arcades.)

SO yeah, maybe you just sweat a lot like me. I sweat the same amount at my weight now (200) as I did when I was 2 inches shorter and 240.

So, yeah....
