Depends on what you wear, and what you eat, not just the last time you shower.
Some of us are lucky to sweat less, some are more lucky that if they shower right before their sweat isn't so bad.
Others are not that lucky.

The only thing you can do is shower (or at least ho shower) right before, and wear wool or silk or cotton, none of which will smell much (maybe the cotton), artificial "high tech" fabrics can reek after only 20 minutes of sweating.
