Can we talk about cold showers for a sec.
Seriously I just can't take them without feeling like dying. It's like 40 degrees where I live and I have trouble ENTERING THE FUCKING POOL. It takes me like 6 min.
I know I should man up but still. Anyone in that situation?
Here's a brilliant tip for you Charles - don't take cold showers.
I mainly use hot water but when I'm done washing myself, I gradually switch it to cold water. Until it's 100% fucking cold water. I'm able to tolerate the cold water by closing my eyes while thinking I'm not in my shower, but actually at a water park.

Do it gradually. I started it like two weeks ago and it's fucking awesome, really.
I start on the 50/50 spot and then gradually go down in temperature, and it's really nice.
Bonus; used to sweat immediately after showering after liftan, but it's not a problem when showering cold.
Do 40 bodysquats and 20 push-ups before shower so are you are warm, this will help you tolerate the cold.
Don't shower in freezing cold water, instead moderately cold.
I never do them. Its like jumping in the cold ocean, I start gasping for air. Don't think its very good for my heart

Start with a regular shower, it opens your pores and hot water helps wash all the oils and dirt off your body anyway. Once your squeaky clean, start turning the hot water off little by little untill you have just the cold water running, i think this is the best method for implementing a cold shower into your daily routine.
i'd rather die than have a very cold shower
Why are people even trying to have cold showers?
What benefits do they offer?

I just feel more awake after, im not into it for the broscience shit, i legit just feel more refreshed afterwards than with a hot shower.
>>35294074
The only benefit of cold showers is that it makes your blood come back to the core instead of pooling in your limbs.
You don't need to be very cold, just cold enough. I take fresh showers and I'm just fine.
One could argue whether you really want blood back from your limbs or whether they should stay there to bring nutrients for muscles.
Start warm then get cold. Circulation is better than just freezing your ass off because some Internet meme told you to.
>>35294074
Boiler packed it in last night and I had to shower in freezing cold water. Took me a couple of minutes to psyche myself up before dunking my head under it. It was horrible, yes, but as soon as you've rushed it and dried yourself you'll feel warm and cozy af. Honestly a pretty awesome feeling... but I'll be looking at getting that boiler sorted ASAP.

Dude, why be such a dick? Is that what you think being alpha is? He asked for help because he needed it, its that simple and there's no shame in that, i find it interesting that you think his asking for help somehow compromises his masculine integrity. true superiority doesn't come from being better than your fellow man, it comes from being better than your former self. Not trying to be a dick to you, think of my comment as constructive criticism, take it or leave it. Have a good one man.

Really hot showers fuck up your skin senpai
There is fucking nothing better than jumping into a freezing shower after a hard sweaty workout
you got it all wrong. you need to switch from hot to cold a few times.
end with cold. you can enjoy the hot parts for longer than the cold if you like.
good for the cardiovaskular system.

and of course my grandpa and his brother who both lived to a proud 96 years. graetuncle is still kicking it.
ok, that`s anecdotal, but imitated their showering style when they took me to their weekly sunday swimming sessions when i was a little kid. kept this style since then.
it is seriously refreshing and you still get a nice and cozy warm shower to start the day with. can recommend.
>>35294074
Tense your whole body up and dance around under the water
That's what I do and it works, makes you feel really pumped up when you get out too
Just apply soap and shit before getting under the water

I always have to scratch myself for like 15 minutes if I only do hot showers. If I ending it with cold shower, I'm good. Also I sleep better after a cold shower.
Cold showers makes you release endorphin. That's why you feel good after. And that's why you should do it, anons.

Citation needed dyel.
dont mean to come off as retard elliott but its really all about your breath. inhale deeply right before you touch the water then when it hits you you exhale real quick and it makes it easier to breath. from there just keep breathing deep, it makes it bearable.
>cold showers
I spend like 20 minutes in a 100 degree sauna and then hit the cold shower.
I feel so much better after a cold shower than a hot one, in fact I don't even do hot showers anymore.
>>35294431
If i need to wake up and go from 0 miles per hour to warp 10 in less than 5 minutes, there is no better treatment.
Whenever Im feeling lazy and think about skipping gym I grab the shower handle and put it on freeze. Douzing your head works just wonders.
>>35294074
Seriously the only thing about it is how it takes your breathe away, so I can understand not wanting to dive into a freezing cold ocean.
But the likely hood that you die from shortness of breath in a shower is zero.

Hot water is bad for your skin and hair. Warm water is fine but cold water relieves inflammation.

I feel like warm showers are Reddit and cold showers are 4chan. Cold showers are cool and all round bosses while maintaining discipline. Warm showers are for the weak and grammar nazis who aren't mentally tough enough for the coldness. Much like Janice vs tony from the sopranos.

And here you see the newfag in its natural habitat. Notice the lack of knowledge on making use of greentext. This is a notorious mark of the dyel.

Long hot showers are bad for skin/hair. Other than that I guess the most beneficial part is it wakes you the fuck up. But so does having strangers throw cold water on you in bed.
>>35297703
Still gonna need that citation dyel.

Now we see the newfag dyel using it's defense mechanism. The sexual frustration has boiled over into his post. Watch close as he gets even madder after being called out again for being a dyel.
>>35297801
Lol
Just came into this thread when I saw you talking shit. Believe what you want though
>>35297814
And if we look closely we can see the newfag dueling samefag. You see by prefacing his post with "Lol" or a reaction pic of someone laughing the dyel newfag believes that his anger is being hidden. Now we can expect this dnf species to say it doesn't care what I say while simultaneously replying.
>>35297859
Amazing.
I always feels like my shower isn't cold enough. I live in a hot shithole so I guess the water heats up whether I like it or not.
>>35297902
If I wanted to hear a hot shithole I'd just ask you what your one rep maxes are.
Fuck all you guys saying cold showers are better. I already give up (except on occasion) delicious fast food and soda, drink alcohol sparingly, and don't take drugs. I spend my free time exercising instead of playing awesome vidya like my friends.
All I have left is scalding hot showers and I'll keep that until I die

>>35297953
It's not better.
It's just a way for first world people (mostly men) to feel like they're tough. Yes it does have some benefits but they are minimal. Most of the "good" is just a placebo effect. It's like raising your test with no fap. It's not going to make a difference unless you do it all year around every year. Same with cold showers.
These threads pop up from time to time, it's just new guys finding out about something already known and want everyone to see that they know it too.
If you really want to have an amazing recovery then you should do foam rolling, ice baths and have a certified massaus(or however you spell it) work you over every two weeks, depends on your budged though.

If you want to fight people after taking cocaine then you're getting some pretty cut up shit m8. Real cocaine high is unbelievably euphoric and should make you so happy that you love the shit out of everyone.
However on the come down it is normal that something minimal might get on your nerves and if you are a classless thug then you might want to fight everyone in sight.

cold showers are better for hair/skin and i've heard studies that they help depression. i feel like a god whenever i come out of a cold shower. i also do it because it puts you in the moment. your mind can't wander in a cold shower.
whenever i take cold showers my skin and hair is much better than before. i can't give you any credible sources without you fucks cherry picking them and i don't shove it down people's throats.
if you don't want to do them then don't, but don't put them down unless you've tried them for a while.

Hot water dries skin out. Extrapolate all the information you need from that. Unless you are a super oily italian, drying your skin is usually detrimental to healthy skin. You may also take a gander at the multi million dollar market based around something called 'moisturizers'
