There is literally no better feeling than taking a quick cold shower right after lifting
>shoots blood throughout your body
>good for hormonal health
>good for mental discipline
>better fat storage
why are you still taking 30 minute sauna showers?
hot shower good for muscle
When you say cold showers, do you mean literally as cold as possible? Even during the winter?
Because it doesn't even feel like I rinsed off any dirt/sweat from my pores when it's that cold, feels like my entire skin just closes up from the cold. I only use cold water at the end of my shower, showering in cold water exclusively seems silly
>When you say cold showers, do you mean literally as cold as possible? Even during the winter?
Yes
>showering in cold water exclusively seems silly
It's not, you're weak
I just take warm showers anyways cause I'm not trying to min-max every aspect of my life
as much as I appreciate cold showers, taking them straight after an exercise is tiring for exhausted muscles that seek neutral temperature. Same goes for drinking cold water during workout.
It does feel good, I do it right after a sauna at it shoots me to life. But if your goal is hypertrophy stay warm all the time, keep your cortisol high
blood throughout your body
quite the opposite, it reduces inflamation which is important for recovery
>>good for hormonal health
no, it's not, it's cold water you just parrot shit you heard on youtube
>>good for mental discipline
it's not you just wash yourself with cold water
fat storage
the fuck?
>quite the opposite, it reduces inflamation which is important for recovery
That is for cold baths, not cold showers moron
keywords in the OP: QUICK, you're not swimming in ice. You got that bullshit from Athlean-X
and saying "it's nawt!" is not an argument, gayboy
can you provide the scientific studies which support your claims about "better" fat storage or that it's good for hormonal health?
>that it's good for hormonal health
google "cold shower + cortisol"
>about "better" fat storage
google "brown fat cold temperature"
cheers
cope
everyone in hot temperatures is lean and ripped (see africans)
everyone in cold temperatures is slob + fat
(see snowmoron nordcucks and russians)
>better fat storage
you better explain this right now
>cortisol bomb
how is that good for hormones?
It's perfect if you want to have a heart attack.
I like standing in the cold water for a few minutes after a normal.shower
nothing is easier to dismiss than a schizo who thinks cold plunges/cold showers are epic biohacking bullshit
you cant refute it
that which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
>workout
>arteries are dilated to maximize muscle repair and recovery
>I know, snap them shut with a cold shower force as much blood and nutrients away from the muscles as possible
I'm dubious about cold showers at any time, but post workout is legit the dumbest possible time to take one.
warm water breeds bacteria and you will stink faster if you take hot showers compared to cold. Main reason why I switched.
cold showers after a workout are the worst thing you can do

Start hot opens pores.
Finish cold closes pores and feels good man.
>shoots blood throughout your body
What do you mean by this? Blood is always flowing my man
>Be vetfag
>Was inna Navy
>Never fucking hot water in the ship showers
>Promised myself that I would never deprive myself of 20+ minute hot showers again
I've been out 9 years and I still exit the shower looking like a lobster. I don't care if cold water is better or healthier.
>cold shower after lifting
>mental discipline
A cold shower when you're hot feels better than a hot one.
It would take discipline to be cold and do it anyway.
