This "extreme athlete" looks like shit for being 63.
This is what happens to you when you chronically elevate cortisol and adrenaline thru fasting, cold exposure and intense breath work.
Looks pretty much like any other average 63-year-old to me.
My dads 75, heavy smoker, spends damn near all day in the sun when it's out, and eats like absolute fucking trash, and he looks better than whim.
lol ur dad is a fucking pleb, my father is 90, survived a nuclear testing site, drinks booze and smokes 2 packs of cigs with no filter and looking 50.
My 100 year old dad can beat up your dad
my 110 year old dad fought 2 world wars and he's about to fight another one.
Good for you guys, you know a few exceptions. But we're not talking about exceptions and outliers, we're talking about the AVERAGE 63-year-old, and yes, the AVERAGE 63-year-old looks just like him.
He looks like shit for 63. I thought the guy was in his 80's.
No way he looks 83. They have white hair and look a lot frailer. He does look 60s but maybe like mid/late 60s. Also he's not fat which makes him better than the average 60-something in a developed country.
Hes the same age as scooby
>scooby
>average
My father is 62 and literally looks 15 years younger. Wim has been agemaxxing, admit it.
Is there a model for desirable aesthetics at 63 years?
>69
I owe my life to this man
Y tho?
why does IST jerk this bro off so much?
who is he?
Ray Peat. Promoted eating potatoes or some shit
he does science, not scientism.

Looks like a prison bitch

>Needs to have his name written on his shirt so people still have some respect for him.
PD mangan is 67 and also does a lot of fasting and cold showers and was a smoker up until 55
>Not Oromaxxing.
It's pretty good at 63.
the fuck is that thing on his lower abdomen
>not tucking your dick into your waistband

did a butcher do the surgery?
Surgeons are glorified butchers so yes
you'd save so many people from medical malpractice if you just shot everyone in that room

I hate morons so much bros
God damn I am staying out of hospitals forever
>About fifteen years ago Wim was swimming at a fountain in Amsterdam and decided to give himself an enema on the nozzle of the jet. He says he has done it before, but a few weeks earlier the city altered the jet to have a more powerful spout. So when he sat on the hose the water cut through his colon and intestines like a water knife. His son Michael (who he was meeting at the park) took him to the ER. Wim has pretty good ability to resist pain so the hospital did not triage him to surgery immediately because they didn't understand how serious the injury was. After a few hours he fainted and they realized how bad it was. The doctors stitched him up but rightly feared the risk of sepsis. It took him a long time to recover. He says that he used no antibiotics during recovery.
Its actually a pretty wild story
>Decided to give himself an enema in a public fountain
He deserves everything that happened to him and more
what a disgusting dumb fucking retard
>dont mind me, just washing out the inside of my colon and expelling my foul shitwater into the public fountain
Classic Dutch prank, turning up the pressure on the communal bidet…
Seriously though who the fuck thinks to give themselves a pond water enema are you kidding, this is the same mind that developed some life changing breathing technique? I think not, I think probably some kind of Tibetans or monks came up with the breathing method and this guy repackaged it. Sad story about his wife suiciding and being upset about it so finding an outlet (quite literally in a sense here). Jokes aside though that shit is sad, I do wonder if anything else was going on, usually female suicide rate is pretty low.
he used to swim in a pond that had a fontain and he would put his ass above it to fill his intestines with water, but they changed the pump to a much more powerful one at a certain point and he blew up his intestines
Holy fuck it's real

This is who people are taking health advice from, kek
jesus christ it is real. crazy Dutch bastards
>unlock superpowers by putting ice water his guts
Based.
Holy shit, it actually a real story
He really got assblasted.
CARLOOOOOOS
That's fucking insane.
I also used to do that as a little kid, luckily they never surprise turbocharged the jet I was using since I would have 100% been too embarrassed to get help and would have instead died bleeding from my ass.
did you get off of it?
Holy fuck it's real
well, i just changed my mind about wim. what a fucking retard.
>AIIIEEEEE HELP ME SON I JUST BLEW MY ASS
Imagine being his son
Is everyone ignoring the part where that guy was swimming in a fucking fountain in the city and just decided to give himself an enema?
> it's real
The dutch are the craziest
damn made me lel and I thought what a strange thing to think of but its fucking real? lmaooo
Alternative medicine is as bullshit as big pharma. Home remedies or bust.

dude what the fuck
The F U C K
I Can't believe this is real. I'd sooner believe he let a horse fuck his ass than this.
Reminds me of that one girl who sat on a drain in a swimming pool as a child and had her colon sucked out, her surgeries failed and she lost more internal organs.
jesus, that's even fucking worse. imagine getting your intestines sucked out.
Damn, I stand corrected. I thought it was just an urban legend spread by that book.
That never actually happened. It was from Chuck Palahniuk’s book Haunted.
HOLY FUCK
thanks for a moment I thought it was the tip of his penis and I am on my cellphone.
>ISTizen discovers that there are other athletic pursuits than manly beauty contests
doesn't the bro in op's post just sit in cold water?
I only watched one video related to him (by James Jesse) and it also involved some breathing thing, like holding your breath for a couple minutes
Cold exposure + breathing techniques for health, performance and recovery.
His breathing technique is just exhale and don't breathe lmao, bound to cause brain damage
No it's not. Read the book bro
He's a grifter that has a rare gene that allows him to endure extremely cold temperatures. He "teaches" people how to do it except anyone without that specific gene will contract hypothermia and several people have actually died thanks to him.
>rare gene
retard, he has a twin brother that cant do any of the achievements wim did because he doesnt practice cold exposure nor the breathing
That doesn't change the fact that he's a Dutch grifter gay retard who peddles pseudoscience to make money and is directly responsible for the deaths of people attempting to learn his bullshit "methods".
>grifter
he doesnt require you to pay anything, the information is freely available
>pseudoscience
they tested his hypothesis in a lab with repeatable results
>directly responsible for the deaths of people
he specifically says not to do it near water, not his fault for retards yolo-ing
anything else you fucking braindead moron?
Are you actually retarded? His sells courses taught by his "instructors" on his website. Dude's a scam artist plain and simple.
https://www.wimhofmethod.com/activities
I said it isnt required and its not, everything he knows is already posted on his youtube channel. some people just need in-person explanations for some reason
which course is the best wim? i wanna learn your shit
Wim Hof isn't the only one talking about cold exposure/immersion, he's not the only one teaching what is essentially hyperventilating to pre-emptively purge C02 from the bloodstream. You have to be actually literally retarded to die from doing this shit. It's exactly the same as crossfitters snapping themselves the fuck up doing powercleans with no experience or training.
To the not retarded fitizens, try doing the breathing technique before deadlifting/benching/squating. Shit is nuts.
Horses for courses. Explain what exactly is a scam and pseudoscience.
>Grifter
True
>Pseudoscience
False for his breathing and cold water method, true because he's a new age autist and can't stop himself from talking about esoteric Sanskrit texts detailing quantum prostate vibrations.
His entire family is full of grifters, look up Marcel Hof. Wim's son runs his business, also a grifter. Surprisingly, Wim is the least money hungry AND least schizo among them. The sad reality is that people like him are the only channel for information such as this to promulgate because everyone assumes it's horseshit from the beginning. Capital generation equals exposure, hence why so many retards put stock in the liver roider psy-op.
>who peddles pseudoscience
There are multiple research studies done on him to prove he is legitimate. Unless you think he is paying all of the scientists and everything he's ever done is CGI, you have no reason to think he is "doing pseudoscience" (which is not how you use that term, btw).
cope n seethe.

>several people have actually died thanks to him
source? I want to laugh
>At least nine people have died while attempting the Wim Hof Method.[27] Four practitioners drowned in 2015 and 2016, and relatives suspected the breathing exercises were to blame.[28][29] In 2021, a Singaporean man drowned in a condominium pool when attempting the method.[30] At least one person has died from a heart attack after cold-water immersion.[31] The leading cause of death with Wim Hof Method-related activities seems to be shallow water blackout where practitioners hyperventilate in or around water and unexpectedly lose consciousness. Though Wim Hof's safety video explicitly states doing breathwork in water is dangerous,[32] Wim Hof has been filmed teaching deep-breathing techniques to instructors in water as late as 2023.[33]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wim_Hof
if you die from breathing fast then idk what to tell u. like that sucks but its not Wim's fault that these people have the constitution of tissue paper
They don't die from breathing fast, they drown. Häyperventilation can make you black out quite easily. If you are neck deep in water hyperventilating and lose consciousness, your head will likely nod underwater, you'll inhale water, and that's what kills you.
i get your point, but you still have to be a total retard to die from it
>suspected
>may have
>could've
So none whatsoever
>Imageboard idol turns out to be dangerous retard
See also: Sv3rige, Rippetoe, Varg, Trump, Obama...
>decide to try extreme breathing techniques
>in water
>with no one to supervise you
some people are born retarded
So, Wim practices water breathing with others when there are spotters and helpers available in case something goes wrong
People do it alone and die, and that proves the methods are bad?
Doing the breathing techniques actually super charged my cardio. I was running at a 6mph pace, and would get out of breath. Started doing wim hof and literally never felt out of breath again. After heavy lifts I wouldn't be breathing hard either, it was great.
I did disrespect his advice and have negative outcomes a few times, and its my fault. I was holding my breath while taking the trash out and passed out in my driveway.
I don't blame the methods, I blame my own stupidity.
kek, so you were just lying there in your driveway with a bag of trash next to you?
>several people have actually died thanks to him
>doing the breathing in water which Wim says NOT TO DO
>heart attack after cold immersion (was going to die from a heart attack anyways, just triggered it via this instead of being spooked)
stay mad
He also hikes up snow covered mountains in his titey whiteys
Who the fuck is calling him an extreme athlete
Me. Extreme athletics is like peeing really far, holding poop in a long time, eating a bunch real fast, getting slapped, cigar burn chicken. Sitting in cold or hot. Shit like that.
gets mogged in to oblivion by picrel
GYNO
his "method" is breathing fast, pussy
imagine being so weak that you die from breathing
You're delusional. Take some time away from the internet and take your meds.
>the ice man
>reee he look like shit
he doesnt train for athletics, he literally swims in fucking arctic ice water. ofc hes gonna look like shit
someone throw OP into the arctic ocean so we can clean this board up
Ok what is it?
how you look when you age is literally just genetics, wim is strong as fuck for his age and way stronger than he looks
not entirely, sun exposure, whether you smoke or an alcoholic/ drug abuser plays a significant role.
He's just in his 60s bro. That's nothing nowadays. He doesn't look like a modern 63 year old he looks like 63 in the fucking bronze age.
Why doesn't this guy cut his hair? Or at least just shape it up so it looks nice?
He literally has visible abs, pecs, and obliques when he stands up straight. Most 63 year olds are already turning into immobile sacks of shit at that point
>visible abs
Not in this pic. He has your average shitty old man body.
>Not in this pic
Yeah, that's why I said when he stands up straight, as to mean that it was not visible in that pic. Dude...
>average
The average 63 year old is obese.
>cold exposure shills thinking that Wim Hof somehow looks young and healthy
He looks like shit. Get over it.
I don't care what retarded nonsense you have to say. The average 63 year old looks nothing like the man in the OP. The average 63 year old is 200.3 pounds at 5 feet 8.7 inches tall. That is obese. The average 63 year old looks like absolute shit with no muscle definition whatsoever. Now fuck off and never respond to me again, idiot.

when will they learn
I know right, he could've just lied and said 5'9"
Hof is dutch and they're not nearly as fat as Americans
He looks like a hobo, cunt shill. He probably reminds you of your gay father.
>get BTFO so hard you reply to the wrong post due to sheer anger
>start projecting about your homosexual father
>no refutation of any of the facts presented
>coping & seething at random famous Dutch man who is more successful than you'll ever be
You are correct and this thread is full of delusional people who apparently don't see 63 year olds ever.
>looking like a steroid user is the only measure of health
Fucking have a nice day zoomie
The guy just eats like shit and doesn't exercise beyond meme-tier retardedness.
the ice bath meme is gonna fuck up a lot of people. I'm seeing tiktoker mongs doing it which is how you know it's retarded.
>no bro I feel so tough and epic afterwards I'm such a badass bro nevermind the proven elevated cortisol bro it's a health hack
just take a short cold shower in the morning.
crazy how this guy went from bonafide town loony to something of an international phenomenon. perfectly sums up normies isn't it, at first everybody laughs at him and now he's the new jesus.
fuck off with your ~~*breathing*~~, I have a coat
What's it with ISTbabies and their obsession with looking 15 forever? You do realize you're going to get old and die, right?
>B-BUH MUH MILIMETERS OF HAIRLINE WAAAAHHHH
>B-BUH MUH WRINKLED FACE ABBUUUU
Stop acting like little girls
The virgin wim hof hyperventilating vs the chad buteyko hypoventilation
Carbon dioxide is so good for you that soda water baths can cure diabetic foot ulcers and FDR bought an entire fucking carbonated spring resort because it made him able to stand up despite his polio. Blacking out when hyperventilating is because you need co2 to exchange for oxygen in hemoglobin, it's called the bohr effect.
if it's so good for you, why do we have the feel of being out of breath and needing to breathe DIRECTLY tied to the CO2 in our blood?
You don't feel a lack of oxigen ya know, you feel the CO2 building up in your blood and the need to breathe to get rid of it.
Maybe it's just easier to sense co2 rather than o2. There's a co2/o2 mixture called carbogen, you can inhale it no problem and it seems to have some health effects. Hyperventilation produces all the tingling/numbness/blacking out because you pump out too much co2 and the bohr effect stops working, you're in effect suffocating but you can't sense the co2 so you don't feel out of air.
High IQ
Why are athletes/gymbros so susceptible to pseudoscience and scams?
>pseudoscience
do you even know what that word means.....
He looks pretty good for 63 apart from where he literally fucked his shit up. Stop looking at roid trannies on instagram and tiktok
Willful suffering is a big time grift now, Wim Hof, Goggins, Jocko, lots of others. There is a section of damaged people who believe that making themselves uncomfortable or suffer elevates them above others. It's almost religious.
>big time grift
hes just doing private tutoring to his online for free available info, explain how that is grifting
>grift
This meme word gets thrown around all the time about everything now. It has completely lost meaning. Wim's techniques have held up to scientific scrutiny time and time again. He stated that he didn't want to be known as a bullshitter so he does or at least did shit tons of tests with scientists to prove his claims.
Sounds like you're just a bitch-ass moron sippin that haterade
