i do it because of join inflammation.. thank for a lees good advice – reason for doing CP- after Gym- or 2hr bike tripe– or cold food bath after long work hour and your feet is swelling 😛 and then have strengths to walk 2hr whit the dog after ;P and im on my weight lost journey after bad join pain.. it work great 11- week – and 11kg off – im not giving up the cold shower
I'm at the end of a 7 day water only fast. Light workout (EMOMs) every day (afternoon when sleepy) followed by cold plunge (35-45deg) for 4min. Im pretty healthy and athletic, but was 10lbs over goal. Wondering if the cold plunge also stop weight loss. Have any resources or studies or thoughts on this?
I do a cold plunge for 20 minutes every day, typically I'll skip for 30 mins and then run 5 km, immediately, both of these exercises are immediately after the plunge.
I live in Cancun, its hot.
Lately people have been telling me how bad it is to do this, in the order that I do.
Thoughts?
For Weight gain before workout or after workout cold bath witch is the best time

Since it takes 72 hours to recover a muscle how is taking an ice bath after 24 hours is not detrimental for muscle growth?
What about cold plunging after a 15 minute morning run? Or should I plunge before the run
One click-bite said 500% increase in T levels lol , and this guy was 50 year old has 1400T levels, I dont know is that was sustained during the day ir just after cold and excersise
Making a video on this soon !!
if pre workout plunge isn't possible is it better to not plunge or plunge after workout?
Quick question if I run about 3 miles and do a cold shower will it affect gains if it’s right after
What if you ice bath before and after a warm bath with a hot shower in-between with a sauna session and then a hot bath before bed but not before one more cold plunge followed by a hot shower and milk and cookies?
But should I plung after 4-5 after the workout or what
What if you take a hot shower after the ice bath, after the gym ? Lol
How long before the workout will be fine?
Can I directly take cold water after waking up? Bro !! @ fitmotherprotect
Would it be ok to cold water plunge every morning? And how long should I do it for? Cheers
if you want to add sauna in your daily routine, do you recommend , ice plunge before workout , then workout then sauna ?
What does ice bath actually do? I’m assuming it helps recovery
Does it affect running and plyometric training
So it's fine to ice bath before I go to the gym in the morning? That won't increase injury risk with muscles being cold?
Would it be okay at night cause I workout right when I get up in the morning then I have school so not really time for one (would I get the same muscle recovery benefits)
How many hours before workout ?
What's the benefit of cold plunge before workout?
Do you stretch before the morning cold plunge ?
What about cold shower vs warm or hot after workout?
