Smelly Armpits

[Jon Miller]

Is it normal to drop down in weights? Two weeks ago I was doing 3 sets of 70 lbs for dumbbell press, last two times I lifted (Monday and Thursday, might lift tonight) I could only get up 65 lbs...

The odor is influenced by what you eat. So is the odor of your rectum output.

Isn't the odor of your rectum influenced by what you sh**?

[Sirotnikov]

my pits are ok
my feet are quite stinky

i somtimes use deodorant cream which stops the smell for several days but i think it works by blocking the sweat glands which i'm not sure is healthy, so i do it rarely

rectom output = what?

There's a "deodorant" stone you might be able to find at hippie health food stores or new age places. Basically, it's a rock of salt, about the size of a fist, smoothed out. Rub it under your pits, when they are wet, and no bacteria. You might also wish to apply antiperspirant, to keep dry afterwords.

Actually, do use deodorant or antiperspirant? The former only covers up orders. The later stops you from perspiring.

Also, you mentioned working out. Do you shower and reapply after working out?

Also, quit smoking and drinking so much.

I usually do, but unless you want me to drive home to take a shower at noon I don't see how this is relevant to my problem.

Don't the departments you work in have showers? You poor bastard.

who ever heard of showers at work? I've never seen them- except in the navy where I lived and worked in the same area.

[Krill]

I have showers where I work, and I'm only a student

[Dis]

are they co-ed?

[Jon Miller]

My lab and the university both had showers.

I would hope a lab had emergency showers...

My advice is to try directing the shower under your armpits now and again...I suspect this is where you may be going wrong

Smoke massive amounts of marijuana. All anybody will smell is the dank odor of weed smoke that follows you around like Pig-Pen's dirt aura. Plus it makes you feel good.

We've got them in my office, one in the boss's private restroom and another one in the employee's. The boss uses his when he comes in to work from the gym, but I've never seen an employee using the shower.

There are actually quite a few office buildings that have showers. Not a majority by any stretch, but more than you might think. They're usually either in executive suites or fitness facilities.

[Provost Harrison]

Yeah, there have always been showers in the workplaces I have been at. Once when I was having some plumbing work done (my bath had cracked and needed replacing) I was showering at work in the morning...

Use anti-perspirant instead of deodorant. Apply cologne.
