I've been taking cold shower everyday since Nov last year. Life changer for me. Significantly reduced my stress, all the aching areas of my body, and I usually catch a cold during winter but I was totally fine this year. And right now is allergy season and I should be sniffing my nose all day but I'm totally fine.
Do it bros~ you guys are missing out.

Same here man. Do not have the recovery issues I had before. Use to take a Ibuprofen every now and then to lessen the aching. Not needed anymore. Also arthritis is way down, I can run like motherfucking Forrest Gump. Initially I had to get over the cold shock, but eventually got used to it.
I think they feel awesome after coming in from sweating my ass off outside
I agree when you go straight cold shower. But going from a hot shower and flipping it to cold. Got damn.I think they feel awesome after coming in from sweating my ass off outside
Besides all the great benefits, like building brown fat tissue, losing fat, strengthening immune system, good for skin disorders, release of serotonin, melatonin, and endorphins, I think the real bang for the buck is in the mental side of it.
First, I feel like the effect is better during winter than when the weather is warm. But no matter how much cold showers I take, I still dread jumping in first thing in the morning, especially is cold.
like what Wim Hof says, I look at the entire process as a fight with myself. Cuz, it's not like I'm at the gym, trying to pump out my last few extra reps for the sake of showing off to someone, there's no one but myself during this process. So even though it suck balls the moment cold water hits my body but I have to fight myself and win. It's like conquering my ego. And when I'm done, the feeling I have is great and my energy and productivity throughout the entire day stays at the same level for most part.

Isn't Cryotherapy exponentially better than an ice bath or shower?
Navy seals should stick to writing books!

Its only for a short time your vessels will go to normal one you reach 98 degrees. When your warm up your vessels enlarge to carry oxygen faster and farther. when you go real cold they constrict and push out the blood that doesnt circulate as fast and constricts to "squeeze" out the smaller capillarys and as it enlarges back to normal it gets refilled with fresh blood which aids recovery.
I do it and it definitely has a effect. My bro science puts it at about a 30% better increase in recovery
How does this work for us dusky types? Our ancestors hadnt seen or felt ice until whitey graced us with their presence
Surely this is like when white folk head out into the sun only in reverse

i think it is other way around....water transmits heat 25 times as fast as air...

Fuck that. My mirror's all steamed up after I get out I have the water so hot. Takes me forever to get into a pool when it's nearly 100 degrees outside.
The first rule of being a Navy Seal should be that you cant tell anyone you are a Navy Seal. Has anyone ever been caught telling porkies about their Navy Seal status? They seem to be rather liberal with their TV appearances post super secret operations that nobody can know about... but you can go on TV.
And write a book.
