I used to occasionally take full ice baths for college athletics. I never felt that great afterwards. Certainly not full of energy. It just helped to reduce the swelling of whatever was injured.

Been taking cold showers for a few weeks funny to see this thread. I usually start Luke warm then after soaping up will take it all the way cold for a few mins. Scalp and hair def look and feel better Not sure about my skin really but haven't got any pimples so ideas it works. My beard looks better than usual too lol. I read it's good for depression I'm not depressed but when I'm done I do feel a lot better. I think the best thing it's for is mental strength tho

who cares about fcking science, i already told ya they dont want you to take advantage of cold showers and rather have you sick and unhealthy or make you spent $$$ on products to improve so they promote that cold showers dont have any benefits or could kill you or are related to cancer and that chit

ayyy lmao

but not everybody has the balls to take cold showers becuase they are weak beta *******s so try it out if you can even do it for atleast 5 min

I remember reading an article from Pubmed about cold showers and they tend to decrease strength gains.

Only do cold showers in the morning to wake my ass up. Otherwise, I prefer a warm shower to relax.

I never take morning showers. So when I'm done cold showering at night I feel super relaxed/tired afterwards. Way more than a reg shower

Not a cold shower but similar...

I did cryotherapy today



Wanted to try this. I do cold showers every now and then. My attempts to do cold baths are super pussy lol so I decided to try this.

First minute was OK. The proctor has you rotate a bit. About a minute in a half it is a bit painful. Some people experience the 'pins and needles' effect of the cold. It was just painful since it is nitrogen and is about -100C (-212F).

I did it for two and a half minutes. Generally 2.5 - 3 minutes you reap the benefits. Pretty much the same benefits of a cold shower (improved skin, improved recovery, fight symptoms of depression, etc).

Brochure on the benefits

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.
Gotta slightly agree here. You need some degree of inflammation to assist in muscle recovery and growth. I would say if you time cold showers wrong you will actually inhibit muscle growth.

5.5 months into no fap, and cold showers every day. I feel better than I ever have in my life srs. Other lifestyle changes have definitely contributed more than these two, but I'm positive that they're contributing.

Cold showers are legit.

My skin and hair are no longer dried out.
If you're feeling tired it will definitely wake you the **** up when that cold water first hits you.

The Japanese had a ritual known as Misogi where they would literally stand or sit beneath a waterfall. It was a purification ritual.. check it out
Granted, it would be more badass to do this under a waterfall but for now my shower will do.

mirin that waterfall, not gonna sound autistic brahs but should be a life goal for cold showers crew to shower one time under a waterfall

for some reason i am so fcking used to cold showers that its not even cold anymore even on the coldest setting

they still have their benefits tho and give me joy in life but the kick is not as great as when i started
