Its a side effect of steroid use but it may be due to an underlying problem.
When I worked the weights many years ago, I had no problem with perspiration if I was relaxed. Once I did any kind of physical activity I perspired heavily, and for a short time after stopping the activity. Once my core temperature cooled the perspiring stopped.
As Mike mentions, with strong muscles the work output is very high. The energy output contributes to a lot of excessive heat.
Without drugs body-building produces a great feeling of well-being.
I saw a few that were obviously on something. There were subtle changes. Oily skin, acne and a sense of stress. I can't explain it exactly. But I could see there was something not right.
I never used drugs. I liked the benefits naturally. It had a calming effect on my nature and I felt good. Such is body-building.

You are correct about the steroids and growth hormone etc but
in good shape and aerobically fit (more muscular and less fat than now
) I had a very similar problem - 100% drug free. I sweated a lot, even on mild exertion, or after eating or even a cup of coffee, during a workout I sweated profusely, sitting in a less than airconditioned room and I had beads of sweat running down my neck and it was embarrassing at times, particlularly if I was giving a presentation on fitness!..I mean it's not a good look to have the fitness lecturer sweating while they are doing essentially nothing
I did plenty of cardio training too because strongman had plenty of movement and running in it.
There is certainly a genetic factor here too, the sypathetic nervous system plays a part too and can be over sensitive as well.
I am now, soft and
way out of shape but I still sweat
I agree about the feeling working out gives, Arnold described it as being like cuming
....I should get back in there....
