No evidence of testosterone increase, skin benefits, etc. The only benefit i can see is the activation of the sympathetic nervous system that might be give a temporary "energy" boost.

Anyway, I shower as cold as possible at the end, mainly to train my discipline. Meditating for the same purpose.

Cold showers/ice baths most definitely have benefits, to what extent could be debated
I believe nofap has immense benefits, though the science is still in it's early days. The psychological benefits may never be able to be scientifically proved, but doesn't mean they don't exist

Tomorrow is day 13 of no fap. Usually fail around the 2-4 day mark,aiming for 90 days.
Haven't noticed any benefits or superpowers as yet. Except my balls are always aching and I think it exaggerates my autism in social settings.

Placebo effects.
Cold showers/ice bath DO NOT aid in recovery. Cold constricts blood flow. Inflammation, in this case and in some injuries is the body trying to HEAL itself by sending blood and nutrients to the area that is effected. You are delaying the healing process and going against your body's knowledge.
So why are you trying to stop the healing process by constriction?
As for showers, what you feel is your body is in "fight", blood pressure/pulse is elevated.
That "high" you feel afterwards is normal.

Putting your body in Fight will cause more stress hormones released.
Bad for gainz yo
Another Miscer mentioned cold showers and strengthening the mental/mind. I like that.
If you really wanna wake up, much better to have a cold shower than a energy drink

I will give my input on this, cold showers are fkin AWESOME, the period I've been taken them regularly has been the period I've been in my top shape ever, both mentally AND physically, they do improve testosterone, immune system, overall alphaness, mental clarity, and depression, this is no broscience, has been all true for me- try to believe.
Even if it was only for the fact that you need balls to have a cold shower(at least 5mins) if you can handle that then you can handle whatever your day might throw at you
No fap+multi+zma+cold showers+lifting for at least 15 days and you ll feel like a ****in LION
BUT there is a downside in my experience, I was not eating enough and I think my metabolism was too sped up by the cold showers, after about a month I started feeling weaker and shied away from them because I hadnt figure out yet the reason to my condition, so my advice is, do cold shower but be sure to be hitting your macros and maybe even a little beyond that

And for everyone mentioning skin and hair - that's pretty obvious. Warm/hot water dehydrates the skin. I'm not sure you need to get too scientific about it.

It constricts blood flow, nutrient rich blood your own body is sending to the effected areas to start the healing process

not sure on what day of cold showers i am.. maybe day 6 and it still gets better and better each day.
i think the only negative side effect of cold showers is that you can get addicted to them and and feel depressed if you cant get your daily dope of cold showers. (srs)
besides the amazing feelings i already noticed high skin and hair gains by ALMOST just 1 week!
i want to see when cold showers peak but i think there is still room for improvement and more glow
i dont know if women take cold showers (i guess they take hot showers) it defenitly helps with skin glow and i dont fcking care what your studies say about cold showers, they want to manipulate you anyway and prevent you from any gains and keep you down low depressed and unhealthy
i see my visual improvement and feel the difference in motivation and energy and will definitely continue cold showers through the summer

Cold showers are the truth, might be placebo but one can't deny the impact they have on you mentally.
Don't be a lil bish about it, put it ice cold and jump right in. Don't start off hot and gradually make it cooler it takes the fun out of it.
Once you do the shock method for a couple days/weeks your body adapts and it only stuns you for a few seconds.
I always start my day off with a nice icy cold shower while pantera blasts from my stereo. Get out of the shower with a nice pump and feel like goku for the rest of the day.
Brb mental clarity
Brb feeling manly
Brb better skin
Brb Saving pennies per month
Brb anytime im having an off day I can feel immediately better with an ice cold shower.
