Ive read there are a ton of benefits so i started doing them a couple weeks ago and will see if there is any point to them.

I usually start off cool and end cold for a couple minutes. They are not as bad as i thought but if i dont see any changes in anything in a few weeks im going back to normal showers

maybe i was just reading some bro science

Yeah I take em after a hard workout, like If I was doing sprints or playing a sport. They help with the recovery process, I feel better etc.

All I take except when sick or in the steam room at the gym. I don't even start with hot water no more thats how used to them I've gotten to them.

I could never take a cold shower. A lukewarm shower is the coldest I can tolerate.

We didn't have heat for a portion of my childhood :damn: so I'll never take another cold shower in my life if I can help it.

youre sacrificing gains if you arent atleast taking a cold shower post workout

that cold puts your muscles in recovery mode and reduces inflammation

gains :wow:

In the summe after a jog, I have to take a cold shower. But where I'm living, the water in the pipes aren't super cold so my cold shower turns into a warm water shower, and the hot water valve is completely closed.
